Reviews can be usefull for finding out features and gameplay when you don't know much about the game but I think it just comes down to personal preference.
I, like probably many here stopped going to big sites like Gamespy, Gamespot, IGN, etc years ago when they got so huge and commercial. When I scan a list of reviews from Gamerankings I generally ignore most of the sites and just focus on the few that seem to me to be most impartial. (Action Trip, Eurogamers maybe).
Then I come to Bluesnews and do a search on the 'Gold, Demo, and Patches' for the game.
In the end, none of it really helps. A lot of people here thought that Diablo and Oblivion were good and I thought they sucked. I like Quake 4, not great, but I enjoyed it and others thought it sucked as well. Same with Quake Wars, I think it's the cats pyjamas but most probably woudn't agree with me here.
It's really impossible to know unless you play it yourself I guess. Some things are generally agreed upon, like Bioshock, Fallout, Baldurs Gate 2, Deus X, Systemshock, etc. But in the end it's really all up in the air. Someone's trash is another mans treasure.
Unfortunatley, reviews do influence me, but I read quite a few of them before purchasing anything, and I try to get the vibe from sites like this but in the end, you just never know until you play it yourself.

Once in a blue moon I load up IE and go click every ad on this site. Not as often as I should but the thought is there.
