A Review will always have bias to them! and that's not a bad thing

It's dumb not to like review because you didn't agree with their opinion,If it's fair review then i can't see why you would get mad at it.A game review is just someone opinion on a video-game so of course it will have a bias to it it would dumb to think it wouldn't.

 

You should look at review not for the score but for what they liked and didn't like and then compare that to yourself,So you can get game you enjoy.

I voted for previews, but I think that it's more of a tie between that and actually trying the game first. Of course, KH and FFVII/XIII games don't count in this--I'll buy the next game in the series (and its respective console/handheld) no matter what (though I didn't initially get into the first KH or FFVII until I tried them).

If I'm really interested in a game, I'd try everything to find out how it's like. Gamer reviews or reviews at my favorite game news site (Gamesradar.com), previews, trailers, betas/demos (if there are any and i'm able to get into the beta). Or if I'm just so curious about it and see a bit of previews but the story so far catches my eye, I'll probably buy it. That's what happened with The World Ends With You. I liked the vibe of it and bought it. Best money I've ever spent on a DS game!
