These days; I tend not to use reviews as a guide for which games to buy. Instead, I use websites like this one, justadventure and gameboomers for adventuregamers and rpgwatch and other rpg-sites for rpg-games.
The reason simply being that I think big gaming sites like ign, gamespot etc. have given ridiculus scores to games like Oblivion, Bioshock while they have given no so good scores to adventure games - sometimes complaining that the games seem to slow. Then I just want to scream: 'of course, they are slow action wise. They're meant to be slow - they're adventure games - not fps games' - but as the polite person that I am, I don't.
I just don't trust reviews anymore...
unless it is from an adventuregame site or dedicated rpg-site...
