I trust Gamespy and Gametrailers for reviews, you can't spell ignorant without IGN
...Uh, Bass? You do know IGN owns Gamespy, right?
Hi! I've largely stepped back from C-R due to life stuff. Please contact one of the other staff members for help!

This is proof that you can trust no one.

The important thing to remember about reviews is that different people have different opinions.
With that in mind, I'd like to think that no one review is meant to be the definitive last word on any game. A person should look at many different reviews of a game and then try to find out if the big picture manages to detract you from wanting a game. If you've read many reviews and still aren't sure, then rent it. After all, nobody can tell you what you like better than you can.
That said, I try to stay away from "Customer Reviews" or "Player Reviews". There are a few well-written ones, but they are unfortunately offset by reviews like this review for Advance Wars DS where the player gave the game a 4.8.
As you can see the English language was struck with a blunt object over the head, then raped until it finally died.

:I see....so, the reviewer sucks and provides no real insight on the game in their review. The "court" accepts this evidence. Does the defense have anything to say?
:I LIKE CEREAL!
:.........
The court finds the defendant guilty of murder and rape of the English language.
That is all. Court is adjourned!
I take it the score was 4.8 out of 10?
