Those sites are paid to give good reviews. Games are always being over rated.
Gamespot actuall tried to fire a guy for giving a game a bad review when the company had sponsored them...
Which is why they're my least trustworthy, with GameInformer coming in a VERY close second (they're nothing but graphics whores)
GameInformer IS owned by Gamestop...

Oh, and they DID fire him. They almost got sued, but they have lots of lawyers.
GameStop or GameSpot?
I'm so confused...  D=
GameSPOT is it's own website,
GameSTOP (the store) owns GameInformer (and trust me GameInformer SUCKS. Nothing but graphics whores who bow down to everything on the Xbox. ZOMG HALO 3 TEH GRATEST GAME EVRRRRR! *despite Gears of War, CoD4, and Resistance are all better FPS's*)
They have only had like one or two Nintendo games on their covers in their history.

Hey guys, I have a great idea:

Instead of relying on some reviewer to tell you how good a game is by assigning it a number on an arbitrary scale, perhaps you could go out and rent it and try it yourself, and form an opinion on your own.  But hwy would you ever want to do that?

Because it costs money.  :-X

Either way, doesn't really matter to me.
I usually just buy the games I know I'm gonna want.

No rental stores and places like Gametap don't deliver to college dorms since we don't have individual mailboxes.
I usually download free demo's of the PSN, but the Wii (of course) has no such service

You can't get off your ass and go to a video rental store?

I find it hard to believe there is a single town that has a college in America that doesn't have a video rental store.

Jesus Christ you're lazy.  15-20 minutes is not that long or far away.
