Poll: game reviews

[viking97]

which site do you use for game reviews?

i like gametrailers for the reviews and escapist just after that because of zero punctuation.

i quit watching gamespot reviews awhile ago but the just cause 2 review impressed me some.

NoobToob and Escapist, mostly. If I don't feel I have the answers I want yet, I'll try GamesRadar and GameFaqs. Consider the latter two less useful since I rarely agree with GamesRadar writers (still give some good information on games, though) and GameFaqs is completely inconsistent in quality.

Although GameFaqs isn't entirely useless if there are several reviews. I generally read the highest and lowest score and a few of the averages. This usually gives me a pretty good idea of the pros and cons of the game and the mechanics.

I don't use reviews, because the only person who can know how fun a game is is me. Everyone else is wrong. Trust me, I've proven this on numerous occasions.

But I watch ZP for the funny and get OXM for the info, such as new games & stuff.

I tend to use the escapist the most. Between the main page reviews, and understanding how to sift through Yahtzee's reviews, I've gotten quite a few games I would have missed. I also use Kotaku's on occasion.

Escapist and word of mouth. I joined for Yathzee and stayed for the awesome community.

I tend not read reviews because most of them turn out to be rubbish and sometimes biased. That and also i don't need to look at what someone else said about a game to form a proper opinion i have my own mind for that.

I dont bother with reviews. I'll conduct my own research into the game and see if I have any interest in it.

Reviews are biased anyway you can't take anything a reviewer says to heart.
Which is why I had such a problem with the "AvP complains that they had 3 bad reviews" thread.

Good for you! Someone doesn't like your style of games; don't ***** about it, deal with it.

I use the Escapist's very own User Reviews.


And you should too!

I don't really look up reviews, atleast not anymore.
Hell, I hardly know what the latest games are. I mostly just stumble upon them, when I surf around the Escapist and That Guy With The Glasses.
