I have to say that there are few sources that I would ever trust regarding purchasing a new game. ZP falls into this short list but I always take his reviews with a grain of salt. While I never doubt that what he says is true, I generally find myself in a bit of a conundrum. In many cases, I might like a feature that he doesn't, or hate a feature that he seemingly adores. As such, if I feel the need to consult multiple sources beyond my own internal excitment barometer, I'll generally compare the opinions of people who have generally demonstrated that they are going to tell the truth about a game.
For the most part, however, I just watch ZP for the entertainment value.
