    Gamespot

    For a time they did charge for reviews that were over a week old, thankfully all reviews are free again. That's pretty much the only free part though

      I was going to say, I'm sure Gamespot doesn't charge. I guess from some comments here they used to. And I only started looking at Gamespot.com in the recent past, because up until quite recently we had (a completely free) Gamespot.co.uk.

      Still, they are worth a look, as well as some non-commercial fan review sites. But check out the fan forums.......that way you'll see how buggy a release is, and whether people are happy with it.

        As long as you keep in mind that some people will complain no matter what, generally because they are too stupid to figure out how to use the game themselves nor how to read the manual or even to do the tutorial before they vent their spleen online. But the overall feel of the forums will be able to tell you if the game has potential or not.

          Previews mostly don't work. I got suckered into buying Star Fleet Command, which to me was a total lemon.

            wargamers.com whenever they actually do reviews.

              Here is a site worth book marking. Just about any game you want to know about is/has been reviewed by gamers who have actually played the game.

              Overall, most comments are spot on:

                They may not get paid, but... MOO3 is an "excellent game"? Gameplay 5/5 stars? Ok.

                  Hehe no pay could mean independence, or imply unemployability.

                      It's worse. Trust me, I have played it.
