As per the title suggests, which site/You Tube channel or other source provide a fair review of games? Where do you go when you need a helping hand/opinion before buying a game?

In terms of review sites, I typically read/watch Gamespot reviews, sometimes GT. I'll look at GI reviews, too, although I know they often tend to go easy on games. I'll usually try to read/watch three of them, to get a decent picture of what the reviewers are saying. Sometimes there is a random Youtube reviewer in there, but I don't like/follow any one in particular.
I watch gameplay videos, streams, and read impressions, too. It's not an either/or thing for me. I've found Twitch streams really helpful in some cases. A game can sound great on paper, get good reviews and a lot of positive impressions, but if I watch 10 minutes of a stream and feel bored, that will often end it for me.

I just don't trust reviews anymore. I will watch multiple reviews, but I usually go with my gut on what I see from game-play vids. I haven't let myself down yet. They almost always turn out at least as good as I think (I will sometimes even get what looks average, but expect it to be), and I've been pleasantly surprised a few times.
I find it strange that people swear by some outlets when more often than not, they all have a variety of writers, who come and go throughout the years.
When I read a review I don't think "Oh God, Gamespot really nailed this one." I think "Peter Brown seems to have some talent."
