Best source for reviews?

IGn sucks di-ck. they dock games like medal of honor for frame rate problems, ive played through the entire game, no problem whatsoever, and then they give games that have frequent frame rate slow downs, like gta4, 10/10. another stupid rating that comes to mind is pokemon heart gold, they docked that for being a remake. lol

They rated Fallout New Vegas down for technical problems and lip syncing issues. 15 hours in, and no issues whatsoever. Herp da derp.

A lot of reviews about New Vegas say it's the same as Fallout 3 and full of bugs, then give it a high score.
And I'm sure you've all seen the intro bug, however from what I've heard off friends... they haven't run into bugs that have broken the game.

Also, intro bug incase you haven't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToKIkw3LIoQ

As for the thread, I don't read reviews. I know what I like.
 
Kotaku.

They don't give out numbers like other sites do, they just say what's the pros and cons of the game.

That part didn't affect me, because it's my first Fallout game.

This. If I really care enough. I'll look and read em, but they usually don't change my mind about a certain title.
 
I usually go to Gametrailers for IGN for reviews. For ratins I go to Metacritic since they have one composite score based on ratings from many different sources.

Metacritics ok, but the problems is fanboys mess up the score.
For any game, there's always two or three reviews that are, "OMGGGGG, THIS GAEM ROX UR SOX!"
And two or three that are, "HURRR, I'M A FANBOY FOR ANOTHER GAME IN THE GENRE OR ANOTHER GENRE ENTIRELY, HURR."
So you have to look at the reviews in the middle of the list.

I'll occasionally read them in the GameInformer magazine, but that's about it for me. Like Andy, I don't really read reviews. I don't need other people to tell me what I should and shouldn't like.

I usually just look at a couple random reviews, and based off of those I'll decide whether to buy.
I do that sometimes too.
I prefer video reviews over written reviews.
 
IGN sucks, I usually don't read reviews. If I do, its G4tv.com.

I don't really go off of what reviews say most the time.
