I read IGN's reviews, since I'm familiar with their "editors", but trust? None. Not a one. AFAIC, IGN is full of blazing retards, and the other sites are as bad or worse. I only read IGN because of the "devil you know", and all that...
Of course, after this incident at Gamespot, I can't imagine anyone ever reading that site again. (These types of accusations have been bandied about by riled-up fans for years - interesting to see evidence of such shenanigans being quite possibly true.) Unbelievable. (Or not, actually, as I've long since contended that game "journalism" [ouch!] has been dysfunctional for a very long time.) "New Games Journalism" (from the Penny Arcade comic) indeed.
The suggestions to get multiple reviews from multiple sites is definitely the best.
