I personally don't trust the PA guys' opinion on games at all, much as I love their comic. Gabe has absolutely horrendous taste in games and Tycho likes everything. I go to gamespot to get the CNN version of a review, as they will at least sometimes post bad reviews of Triple-A games, then I'll go to Joystiq or Rock Paper Shotgun for a more real review. In the end you really have to just read a number of reviews and pay attention when they point out game features. Often times the reviewer will say "feature $x was awesome" and I'll immediately know not to get the game because it includes feature $x at all, and I hate feature $x.
