DO You use IGN or GS for Game Ratings?

topic

IGN definetly rates games higher, atleast by a margin of a point or two ussually

I use Game Informer

I use the most reliable source.

Myself :)

I try to read from a number of sites, but between the 2 I trust ign for a better overall review. GS is catching up though. They've had some pretty good reviews lately.

ign is better because it just is

Neither. I go to GameRankings so I can get a better idea of what the overall opinion of a game is.WiseOldUnicorn

I dont use any. Friends and the media ususally lets me know what games are must-play, and I buy those games used a year or so later. I just finished Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 a few weeks ago.

I go to both to see the differing opinions.

IGN is rather easy on games, while GSpot is a little hard on titles.

Primarily though, I'll go here to see what a game that I wanted got and if it got a bad score, I'll go over to IGN to see what they gave the game.

GS is only hard on Wii games, they are extremely leniant on 360 and ps3 games, which is why i dont use this site for reviews anymore, i find them extremely biased.

Game Rankings after checking both.

But for a while I just buy what I like. (When I have money)

I make sure I buy really good games, since I really don't like wasting loads of money over games I'm not sure good......

The first game I bought was War Craft 3 and I loved it.But the second,The Legacy of Kain:defiance and the third, Shade:Wrath of Angels, really wasted my time and money.

So when I finally found out about GS' and IGN's reviews, I kept using these to better assure I'm not wasting my time and get the best gaming experience as I did with BioShock, The Elder Scrolls 4:Oblivion, Crysis and Call of Duty 4 in some internet cafe, all ratings were 9.

Here's my personal and effective procedure for choosing games:

First, look at rating in Gamespot, IGN etc. Has to be atleast 8/10(make sure Genre suits you)

Second, read Gamespot's, IGN's, Game Revolution's useful reviews.

Third, look at average in Gamerankings, has to be atleast 79%(found out that most 80% games are read as 79% when using Gamerankings search engine). Look at average of player reviews at GS, has to be atleast 8/10.

Fourth, add to wishlist and prepare money

Fifth, BUY WITH NO REGRET AND HAVE FUN!!!
