Comments
When it comes to reading reviews, the first thing I do is look who is writing the review. If I don't recognize the name I really don't put much stock in the review. I listen to various podcast from different gaming sites. This is how I get to know the mind set of the person giving the review. Knowing this I can make a better informed decision if I should pick this game up.
I don't necessarily think review scores are bad. I've been influenced to buy a game and not to buy a game based on a number. I read ign, I saw they game Deus Ex: Human Revolution something like a8 or 9. I had no interest in that game but after reading the review I bought it and loved it.
Papo & Yo was a game I was somewhat interested in playing. When I saw the review score of a 4 out of 10. My desire to play that game was gone. Whether is right or wrong, I don't know. Since then I have gone a read the review. It scored so low for numerous game breaking bugs. I think there are so many opinions on what a review should or shouldn't be you'll never please everybody.
