Yes.
Because there are people that I do trust with game reviews.
And bad reviews are generally reflective of the game, no matter who they come from. Kane and Lynch was 50/50 on my list, mainly because I loved Freedom Fighters, and robbing banks seems like a cool way to spend the afternoon.
If it weren't for reviews, I would have picked the game up on day one. Now I'll wait for it to hit the bargain bin.
Demos are a pretty sweet deal, though. I got into the Call of Duty 4 BETA and went out to preorder soon after. They're also not very representative of a game, either. The Jericho demo got some buzz for the game, but only because people didn't know that the entire game experience was bundled up into that sample you downloaded onto your hard drive.
So, in the end, both reviews and demos are needed for me to make decisions on my game buying.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
