As a tool in and of itself, it's fine. That and GameRankings (I honestly prefer GameRankings, the layout is more amateur, but it feels more comprehensive and I don't have to see User Scores
) have a certain role to play. If you take it as something to help form an opinion for a purchase, then it's fine.
But, as with anything, if you put too much stock into this glorified "opinion number cruncher" and turn it into a competition, well then you're not using the tool correctly and it loses its value (as much as the sites try to turn it into a competition because it gives him hits).
