How many people actually base what games they buy on the metacritic score or just on reviews? I learned a while ago that most reviewers will give games of the genres they don't like bad scores. If they don't like a genre, don't do reviews on it. I would more likely trust someone's review if they like that genre.

I believe that the majority of gamers don't really base their choices on reviews. Probably more on word of mouth than anything.
