Trust people, not critiques or reviewers.
What was that game at gamespot that received good review ratings from a few sites, yet the game was horrible. What did the reviewer do? He said it was horrible. Granted, the review was a little too harsh, but none the less, what happened for him being honest about the game? He was fired, after over 10 years of service to gamespot.
I've seen a few good movies that I really enjoyed, but later found out that they received poor reviews from critiques and reviewers. Yet, IMDB, which has a user based rating system, gives better ratings for those movies than the reviewers or critiques.
Crysis is awesome and its worth the money if you want an amazing game. How do I know this? I listen to real people who play the game just to play a game, not to review it.
