I am sure that everyone on these forums reads reviews about games before buying them. But, based on which reviews do you buy the game? None that that I have chosen reviews from people who don't write reviews for money.
Here is example:
Far Cry
Review 1:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/review/R74503.html
Review 2:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/review/R75603.html
Now, based on which review would you buy this game? They are both reviews of the same game, but one marks the game as perfect and second one marks the game as not that good.
Here is another example:
Half Life 2
Review 1:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/review/R81499.html
Review 2:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/review/R82039.html
Now, based on which review would you buy this game?
Now, since I usually read only the low or lowest ranking reviews, I would buy these games based on the review number 2, because I think that Reviews should mostly point out the flaws the game has, not just how good it is.
I know that the lowest ranking reviews are not allways the best ones, but most of the time, they describe the game perfectly.

Hasta la vista, baby!
