Where do you go for game reviews?

[Arkitech]

Just curious where everyone goes to get their game information

ign usually and if its a game im really really really really hyped up for (zelda twilight princess, etc), ill go to gamerankings.com.

1up is alright and gamespot sucks nowadays.

I think the gamespot reviews are fairly decent - at least the content, if not scores.

I check out http://www.gamerankings.com/ They have almost everyone's rating there and the cumulative average. They even break it down into a pie chart.

My sites are already hit - I usually go to gamerankings, and from there to the gamespot review. I do include some player reviews as well.

I also subscribe to five PC computer gaming magazines which have more reviews...

Other sites are trying to gain market share, like '1up.com', or I just saw an ad for an AT&T gaming site, 'blue room'.

I thought the marketing was pretty embarrassing for the latter, a guy and gal sitting on a couch with game controllers, him looking forlorn, the text explaining she had visited the site.

shacknews and gamespy. generally, shacknews ends up linking to someone else (gamepsy, gamespot, ign, etc.)

This thread is worthless without a big sweaty pole...

gamespot

I generally go by Metacritic. I don't quite trust any one site these days, but this site just gives an average score based on many other reviews.

ign, really no good reason why though I guess... If I am on the fence on a certain game though I definitely check out gamespot as well...

Game rankings, then Gamespot.

 

[dighn]

I just google the game and pick something near the top. usually turns out to be ign, or gamespot

 

[Razgriz]

Gamerankings and Gamespot, then some user reviews on various sites.

 

[Maetryx]

MetaCritic is a good source. Often links to other sites with reviews are included in the metacritic review. Also, I try to give more weight to reviews from PC specific gaming sites like PCGamer.
