Reviewers don't decide what I want to play.
Nintendo does.
ill play devils advacote and say that review are important, gives you a taste of what most people think and the general consensus on the game. I dont get every game that scores 80 or above. I got time crisis razing storm and that got meh reviews. oh sure you can make the argument that you could get the demos, but sometimes the demos dont give a full sense of the end product of a game and in some cases there arent even demos at all all. (looking at you Wii/DS) Hell just dont read reviews if it pisses you off that much. Im not liking the emphasis companies put on the reviews either

1. That assumes that reviewers are the opinion of the majority, and that has not been proven. Even a game that sells well and has good reviews only proves correlation, not causation.
2. No, it's the insisting that reviews sell games, and it's our fault if sales don't agree with reviews, that pisses me off.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

I agree fully but reviews are very helpful though. If a game gets 3/10's across the board that's a good sign its awful.
I really wish there wasn't so much pressure on getting 9.5's and anything under a 9 being considered shitty. The rating system is super fucking flawed. They really need to change the ranking system so they can more fairly judge games. If I was a reviewer I would have it so anything under a 3 is unplayable, 3-5 is bad but might work for some people, 5-6 is a game with some issues but still can be fun, 6-7 is a decent game, 7-8 is a good game with only a couple flaws, 8-8.5 is a great game with very few (if any) flaws, 8.5-9 is a fantastic game with maybe 1 or 2 problems tops, and over a 9 is a flawless or near flawless game.
Sorry about that big wall of text, i'm kinda drunk right now and not at my full posting potential.
