I never read reviews before playing a game, usually not even after playing the game. There is one particular guy who thinks he's the reviews god and I often see him complaiming and trashing games as if he was expecting to find the Lamborghini of adult games in that v0.01 from a random first time solo dev and he often makes absurd comment about the games as if he didn't pay any attention to the game he was playing or as if he doesn't know anything about the software (DAZ, HS, etc) being used but he still talks as if he knew about it.
Like I rarely read reviews, this guy wouldn't be the exception if it wasn't for the fact that he even comments his review as a comment together with the review so everyone else know that he was there and he reviewed the game.
Of course I won't comment who he iz, but since the OP asks about remembering names and good reviewers, and some people actually thinks this guy is good at it, I just wanted to mention it.
