I watch their videos to see how the game looks like and if it looks like i'll like it then then I'll buy it. Sometimes.

It depends. If im not interested in a game, I'll give it another look with high review scores and if I am slightly interested it might tip me over the edge into a rental/purchase.

No, when there is a game that I think may interest me, I have found that forums - such as this one, to be best way to decide on whether or not I buy that game.

There are certain members that are a lot like me when it comes to what they think makes a poor\good\great game.

There are others that tell it like it is and give a far better review than most paid reviewers IMO.

There are also the idiotic types but these are easy to spot and hence ignored.

Don't get me wrong, I'll read a review, but it has little - if anything - to do with my final decision.
