I haven't used review scores to influence my purchasing decisions in years, I prefer to watch developer videos and read about the games during their development, the direction the developers are taking it etc... I also pay attention to what the developers refuse to say, which can also be very telling.
I simply don't trust reviewers enough to not give a candid and unbiased review, which is also exacerbated by the fact that no two review sites use the same metrics. Never mind the fact that it also assumes the reviewers tastes reflect my own, which is unlikely.
