[Hi]

IGN and Gamespot- the two main places for game reviews. And yet, I've never liked IGN, and have been hearing bad things about Gamespot.

Honestly, IGN couldn't even get the SMG release date right. Come on! Do you really think that a place that can't even get a date for a very big game is a trustworthy source for reviews? And Gamespot, I've heard that they don't like the wii because of it's "Bad" graphics. Once again, Come on! Game play is what matters, and if a big review site like that can't get past some okay graphics, then they can't really give me good reviews ether.

IGN and Gamespot... those are pretty much the only review sites I know of. I like big, long, detailed revews, that cover every aspect of a game, so for me, I really need a professional review site.

So where should I go to get reviews of wii games?

I think Gamespot seems almost partisan in its hate for Wii.  Their Wii reviews for me are absolute rubbish.  IGN on the other hand is a bit strange in its Wii take.  Many times I see Matt seemingly fanatical about the Wii which makes me doubt their reviews.  My opinion is that you shouldn't pin down reviews to anyone site, especially for Wii titles which end up on polarizing ends of the spectrum.  I would recommend going through multiple sources like 1up and Gamespy to augment whatever IGN blurts out.
