Yes previews matter we are given all the nuts and bolts about a game long before a review even begins to be irrelevant. Besides reviews only matter if they're 8.5 and above at least. The only games I'd buy that aren't high scores, where bought the moment the game was announced, or directly after I read the mechanics/genre of the game added to the graphics. That's the only time a review matters, and before you cry foul think how many games per year hit that score. At least 30 games a year.
I'd say reviews lack importance because previews provide the necessary back drop for the games. All that matter from the review is the number, and the screen shots. If the score is below a 8 and you weren't planning on buying the game before that chances are most people probably won't be swayed to open they're wallet.

I don't want to know about how much there is to do in LBP, I just need to hear the jump is floaty and doesnt work well. I don't want to hear about the artful story of el shadai, I just need to hear 1 button combat repetitive. But that's just me I'm a mechanics guy if you can nail the mechanics the rest kinda falls into place. How'd I learn how to play basketball I got my dribbling down, then I worked on my shot mechanics. Same goes with my golf and baseball swing it's all in the mechanics theres very little lee way between doing things right and doing them wrong. It's all based in your mechanics!
Of course I'm talking about games that I'm on the fence about kinda interested, kinda not. Like el shadai.
