I use reviews to help buy games too. Like when I bought the PSP, I didn't know which games to get, so I went to IGN and filtered their reviews to 8.x and 9.x games for PSP, then just read through the reviews. I would've never picked up a game like LocoRoco if I hadn't done this. So reviewers are just another tool to help make the decision, along with other things I've heard about the game, personal tastes, price, etc...
