As I've been trying to tell people for years, you don't need to listen to reviewers at all. There's way too many resources on the internet and way too many ways for you to judge a game yourself, even before playing it, to allow yourself to simply let some guy with their own bias and opinions to tell you whether or not to buy a game. Because at the end of the day, that's what you are going to a review site looking for, the justification for your purchase, and these review sites know it. So why should we give them an ear at all? Why should we care if they gave a game a 8.8 or 9.8?
In the end, you could have looked up hours of videos of the actual gameplay on various sites (gametrailers, youtube, etc) or read up on the game from actual news sites that don't focus on reviews. If you just focus on the review, you're basically just saying 'IGN/Gamespot/kotaku/etc, tell me what I should play'.
