Very little.
I learned my lesson when reviews steered towards games I despised, (Smash Bros, GTA, MGS4, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2) and made me avoid games that I ended up loving when I finally tried them. (Epic Mickey)
Reviews are just glorified opinions. I can form my own.

They can be useful, but you have to have a strong conceptualization of what you want from a game, as well as a good range of opinions of the game in question. Games with universally poor or universally positive reviews, I tend to avoid.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
