hey guys, just wondering. where do you guys get your games reviews from? online i mean.
plus, how would those reviews affect your decision in buying the games? coz some reviews (like the GTA4) seems to be exaggerated and almost unreliable. (that game was good, but not a 10 like what IGN gave it IMHO)
and lastly, would a localized gaming review site entice you guys? not in malay of coz, just localized for ppl like us here in malaysia.

On the side note, I dont trust console gamer wannabe from PC gamers review. i agree on this. nothing beats a console reviewer who reviews his game from a PC version. blasphemy! i always buy egm and gamepro. i'd buy psm every now and then. for news i think gamespot writes less bias than ign. but yeah, GT reviews are great.

well my best case scenario is still GTA4 (i'm playing it every second now). IGN gave it a 10 and i got sucked into the hype having played every GTA in the series (including 1 and 2 for the PC).
when i got the game, it surprised me how that game can manage to get that 10 score. there's a lot of screen tearing, pop ins and bug that simply makes the game crash.
it's a solid 8 to me, not 10.
i dunno how many times i threw the 360 controller in disgust thanks to the pop ins during chase mission.
another game in particular is Halo 3. thank god i didn't bought to the hype. the graphics looks like it was ported from the original xbox with a few shine here and there. the multiplayer sucks (compared to COD4) and the community is simply made up by a lot of weird ppl who take things very seriously.
