<div class="IPBDescription">decent game reviews in light of Metacritic being ####</div>I've been thinking a lot about game reviews recently. Certainly I grab some games, and there's just some certain aspect that really irritates me and prevents me from really enjoying the game... most often these games are just not really in a genre I love. However, for the most part I'm a pretty patient person and I've found a lot of different games tickle me in their own way.
Basically, I'm looking for a reviewer that takes their time and does their due diligence to actually find the sweet spots of any given game they're reviewing. I'd like someone who looks into the modding scene for a game and clues me into the extended value of the game I'm buying, and someone that ultimately, rather than telling me what not to buy so I can skip from one mediocre experience to another not really finding the real gold at the heart of any given game, a reviewer that can tell me how to get the best mileage out of any given game experience.
Does anyone know of anything like that existing in gaming right now?
If that's too much to ask, what reviewers do you trust most? I feel like the reviewing landscape in gaming is really barren. I like watching Total Biscuits videos, but honestly, I just find him funny, his opinions on games in WTFis? and the other stuff he gives his opinions on are not usually worth making purchases based on. Yatzee is even worse, his videos are all comedy no substance. I watch them all, but I heartily disagree with most of the knits he picks.

Not just strictly a review site, they focus quite a bit on other content, but when they do a review it's usually decent.
