I no longer do... I did until last month. But after recent events how could you?
For example, the Gamespot - Kane & Lynch incident...
Also, I don't understand the desparatey in rankings between the different platforms. I have played many of the multi-platform games but see no difference. Then, I go to gamerankings.com and games like CoD4 at 94.4% on 360 and 93.7% for PS3... Seriously, I have played both for many hours and really don't see much difference at all between them... Especially a .7% difference...
I see reviews as media and advertising controlled too much now.
Lately, I have taken the demo approach. I will only buy a game after I have downloaded and played the demo for it... Or word of mouth with friends who have the games.
