The sad thing is, if you wanna get an honest review you mpre or less HAVE to go to one of the bigger sites since the smaller ones might be dishonest about the score. And even the bigger sites might be forced to adjust the final score to please some publishers.

What we as gamers really should do is buying paper magazines instead. That way the magazine isn't dependent on ad revenue and can't be forced by publishers to give better scores to certain games.

But we're all too fucking lazy and CHEAP to do that, aren't we? We want everything for free and on our terms. WE have created this situation, no matter how indirect

Printed magazines are not dependent on ad revenue? Wow, I.....just wow.

Haha ok yeah, sorry! Of course they're dependent on ad rev as well, but probably not to such a large extant as internet sites. You don't paty ANY thing to visit and read IGN, Gamespot, or whathave you. You DO however buy the papaer magazine.
