I don't read critic reviews, more often than not its based only on a few hours play time where the reviewer has little to no interest in the genre of the game being reviewed.
What I've found to actually be a fairly decent representation of opinions on a game is in fact the gamespot User reviews. Ignoring the ratings of course, by reading those reviews you actually tend to get an overall better review of a game from multiple people who have played it start to finish.
I'd also say the majority of these reviews are written by fans of the genre of a game they are reviewing and so the points they make, whether pro or con actually tend to be more relevant than the usual critic reviews.
