Do you base your buying decisions on game reviews?

[Sorair]

I came to the conclusion that reviews are not to be trusted. Going through several review sites (Gamespot.com, IGN, Gamerankings, Gameinformer and several others_ its really starting to be clear that they are bias to certain games.

I find that if its a game, I'm really interested in and they give it a sucking score its because of one thing or they try to find ways in the game that are good but twist the good into bad. Others are that they never make it clear at the end of the review, whether the game is worth my time or worth the cash. They will either say its worth renting or its worth playing. Well we really have those "worth playing" games now just for the simple fact publishers could be giving money to certain reviewers and they just improve the score or other factors.

Reviews are thing of the past now, I believe that if you really are on the verge of getting a game just buy it. And you should pin-point the wrong and the good just out of your experience with the game.

Also if you do base your decision on game reviews your just listening to others and buying base on what they like. You should just buy what you like and be satisfied with it.

I'm now learning that and its in full effect with me. I buy games now just because of what I like and if I'll play it with consequences and if not well it was my fought buying the game. Thats what a gamer is IMO.....
