    It depends who wrote the user review.

    If the guy can't even spell review, I usually ignore it.

    Edit: lol, you had a mod fix it.

    User Reviews (basically forum discussion) was my choice.

    Having a big name site review a game is great to get a game in front of my face. Maybe something I hadn't heard of before or something I may have not even made an effort to research. But if it makes a front page, with graphics, it has a potential to make me stop and say, "Hey! This sounds interesting. Let me read the reviews and find out more in the forums."

    Instead of User Reviews it should just be BA reviews.:)

    User reviews and Youtube reviews. I also pay particular attention to certain users because I think they have the same taste as me when it comes to games.
