IGN as it's the most balanced out there. Not HD biased like Gamespot.

Also Gamerankings

Gametrailers
IGN
Gamespot
Edge/Eurogamer(whichever comes first)
Xplay

Those have the most "important" scores in the business, so those are the ones that I look forward to when a new game comes out.

I exclude any site that uses freakin' alphabet letters. I hate that. I don't care how well the review is written.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I use multiple sites and magazines but then I wait for when I get a chance to play the game to make a final call. A bad review sometimes comes out of the review editor just sucking at the game or a bias or whatnot.

I read a lot of reviews, my favorites to read are IGN and Destructoid... I hate scores.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

IGN only. I dont bother with any other site since I dont really care for reviews.
If IGN gives it a good rating fine. If it doesnt fine. I go by my own personal opinion in the end

No amount of bad reviews will stop me from buying Bikinie Zombie Slayers!!!

I use Gametrailers because they do a nice video review, you get a nice chance to hear about the game and see what they are talking about at the same time. But i don't use their score and any sites score to judge game.
