READ VIDEOGAME REVIEWS. These people are not paid to lie. They are not fanboys like your cousin. They are not opinionated. They are trained to notice and point out aspects of games that gamers want to know about. Read the reviews and buy the games that get good reviews. It's really not hard!
And Vivendi is probably spending all of their money on WoW.

Not all magazines are worth listening to as reviewers. Game Informer is a publication from GameStop, they have an interest in selling games and collecting money from advertising in that magazine.
One of the problems of all reviewers from cars to games is that the industry advertises inside of them, so there's potential for bias. If they say a game sucks.. then the company pulls advertising for a few months to teach them a lesson. That's one of the reasons true shovelware still gets a 4-6 rating in many magazines. To me I've learned that 4-6 is really the same as 0-3 in a 1-5 rating system, which as far as I'm concerned doesn't warrant my $$$.
