What I've started doing is waiting a month or so to buy a game after it comes out (I know it takes will power but...) and then reading message from actual players. A month gives enough time for people to get through most games and enough people before you to buy it to get a consensus.
I just don't trust commercial reviewers anymore. Have you noticed now adays that A LOT of reviews sound a lot alike and mention the same things... take a look at press releases from the game producers and you'll find an outline for most reviewers. They just go through the press release, reword it, and slap it on up.
