Does anyone trust what video gaming websites say in their reviews about games you want to buy? Or are you a person who doesn't care and thinks the game will be awesome and you just go and buy it.

Some video gaming websites can be trusted, whilst the ones that are linked to major distributor of videogames should not be so much. Take for example a review made on http://www.gamestop.com or http://www.bestbuy.com. Some the reviews made on those websites can, infact, be “mock” reviews which are used to “amp up” interest in a high-profile videogame. The only websites, in my opinion, that can be trusted are those whom are independent, free from any connection whatsoever to a store(Gamestop, Bestbuy etc.) or developer.

yeah i don't trust game sites reviews… I tend to make my opinion of a game when i've actually played it.

unless it's a game i know I'll hate, like hannah montannah, I just won't bother with ones like that.

P.S I can't believe that some people are actually willing to get that game for the easy trophies.

hannah montana trophies? OMFG…i must get that game

well some game reviews site/shows have different opinions in judging the games so you can't trust them all the time

one example is Adam Sesslar of X-Play from G4TV..he gave resident evil 5 a 3/5 rating..he gave it that rating because he thinks the game is racist because of the killing of the black people,the gameplay mechanics and coop isnt that good and something about the graphics i didn't care to listen too.

yeah so it's hard or it's better not to trust in game reviews site/shows because they'll spill out uther nonsense most of the time rather than judging the gameplay or even the game itself.

i base my buys on many things:

demos

previous games

interviews and reviews

my friends

and reviews on sites such as this or play.com (where i buy most of my games) from the public

i do the same as gamer ben, but i do research on games i wont and put them in a catalogued list of which ones i wont most. basically i get wot i like.

for example most of U think LBP is awesome, whereas i think its a load of shyt.

right now i got at least 18 games on my list and uncharted 2 is on top along wit ass crees 2 and just cause 2.

I always buy games if they have had good sequels eg call of duty world at war but have been let down recently with the likes of need for speed undercover and (not so recent) GTAIV (i may be the only one who finds GTA san andreas better but i dont care lol) I also have a look at the footage on youtube or stagevu.com to get a better idea on what type of game it is. I dont really tend to find myself actually listening to reviews though (except for LBP and i wasnt dissapointed) kane and lynch was rated really bad but i loved it! and i only bought it because it was made by the people who did Hitman. Oh and i sometimes try the demo`s aswell

Game reviews are useless. Why listen to someone elses OPINION of a game. Just go and rent it and see if you like it for yourself. I've loved games rated by IGN that were rated between 3 – 10 (out of 10), so it's always a roll of the dice if you'll like 'em too.

my “process” on buying games is watch HOURS and more hours or videos of the game then if there is a demo i'll play until i get used to the tecnicks and mechanics of the game and get some little skill then i'll buy it if i really liked it.

i feel you there about the Movie-tie in games, especially the DISNEY ones….

But yea i dont trust reviews, if im interested in a game, and i watch some gameplay vids, i usually can tell by myself if it will be good or not. Because loving a game is all about your own opinion after all.

they shud go back to san an in the next GTA but instead back to vice (YAWN).

reviews are all rigged by the companies (even sony sadly). Y do U think theres 5 or more games of the year out at 1ce. like fallout 3 was game of the year at the same time as COD5 and LBP.

i think VI was lame. san andreas kills it everytime , i got to 85% comp of nico bellic's version , and never bothered to play it again despite the trophy patch. Gta used to be my favorite series, now im hoping godfather 2 surprises me, i'll still get a new one , but not looking forward to GTA anymore , bring on gow3…..now that WONT disappoint…
