Where do you go for game reviews?

[Courier_87]

in all honesty, I tend to look at IGN and zero punctuation, good at picking out the best and worst of a game respectively and if I could live with the middle ground I go for it

zero punctuation... I really don't pay attention to reviews. I buy games that really interest me which is rare anymore.

I would normally just go to youtube and watch gamers play through the first few levels of a game and judge for myself if I am interested in this game. I may go to other sites and read their reviews, but only to verify if there are any issue along or towards the end of the game (bad ending, strange controls, horrible mechanics, etc.).

With the exception of 2-3 games, I've been overall satisfied with all my game purchases.

Nowhere. Most of the time what I see is blatant propaganda for a game. Hence, I watch Yahtzee's reviews for laughs, the escapist official reviews to find out about some games I'd never hear about otherwise, and Google gameplay videos, plot rundowns and known bugs of games instead of watching reviews.

I use Metacritic, which means I use all websites.

I used to trust The Escapist for reviews. But after their review of Portal 2 (they basically said 'meh' to what is a stellar game), and then their glowing positive review of Dragon Age 2 (obvious cash-grab, buggy as shit, pathetic mish-mash storyline of a game) all in the same month, they have lost my trust.

So because the site gave one game you love a slightly less than perfect review and gave another game you hate a great review you don't trust them anymore?I don't think you understand how reviews work to be honest

Oh by the way 4 stars is hardly a 'meh' review
