Reading reviews for games is all well and good, but you really have to trust the source you read from to have similar tastes to your own. It is therefore often a good idea with titles that you're not sure about, to traverse multiple websites or read other magazines and newspapers in order to get a wider perspective on the general opinion of critics out there.
This can often be a lengthy process, but I recently discovered a website that does all the legwork for you: metacritic.com. This site provides a weighted average among many publications in order to give a fuller scope of opinion. However, because the averages are weighted, it's likely that some longer standing websites such as GameSpot.com - who gave The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess the lowest score of all currently accounted for publications - have a bigger say in the final rating. Despite this fact, I still think this is a great idea and I will certainly be using it in the future.
