Sort of a poll to find out if there are any trustworthy reviews for
computer games online. So post the top sites you use most often and
find reliable.

Since the 'reviews' are just opinions and the 'choice of reviewers' is
opinion, what other people like may not be what you like.
The best advice I've seen is to read reviews of games you *have played*.
Pick 'reviewers' that are close to your own opinions. (One mans ceiling is
another mans floor)

well, we try to be unbiased, and alot of people dont agree with our
reviews...like TAK for example, but I write reviews based on what I play...I
buy my own games and if I take a bite on one I'll admit it (like Starsiege).
We are an independent site and we do all our own work.

Did we do this all ready or is this déjà vu?

The only reviews you can trust are from me. If I like a game then it's
good and if I don't like it then it sucks. Unless it's from Take 2
Interactive, then it automatically sucks.

There are a few good web sites:

Here's a tip. PC Gamer is a communist plot to ruin the gaming industry.
Don't let them get away with it! Cancel your subscription! Change your
address! Burn your old magazines! Sell the house! Sell the kids! Move
to Montana and buy a dental floss farm! But whatever you do, for God's
sake, DON'T READ PC GAMER!

Yeah! He had some great reviews. (I was very unhappy when he
gave up Game Drek--that was a hilarious site.)
