Reviews hate it, you love it

[Vyk]

I'll have to mull on this one, but I mostly go to metacritic for user-scores rather than review scores. Not their intended use, but I find it generally a better representation. It's about the ONLY thing I trust at IGN's website as well

Though Metacritic (and probably others) are notorious for people to troll giving 1's and 0's just for games that offend them, rather than for bad games

Edit: Okay the first game I randomly decided to go search out on there (Lord of the Rings: War in the North since I just recommended it to someone, in fact I frequently recommend it to people) and it was given an aggregate score of 61, and user reviews put it at 75. Pretty severe difference
