Howdy,
I'm getting back into the SNES, and am looking for reviews. Are there good sites for SNES reviews other than DP and Videogame Critic?
Thanks,
Ben

I've learned from experience not to trust such a biased source of information. Ideally, reviews should be predetermined; the review should exist before the reviewing takes place. Rather, with gamefaqs, you have people who either loved a particular game enough to spew their unending praise, or hated it enough to write a heated diatribe.
As far as reviews go, I just head for a screen shot archive (http://www.vgmuseum.com/). From the ones that look interesting, I'll check out an emulated version and determine whether it's worth buying.

yeah, true with gamefaqs...but if you goto a game's review page and look at the bottom, there are usually some online magazine reviews like gamespot, etc. digitpress shows up there sometimes if there's a review for it.

I didn't know that; thanks for the tip!
Actually, most of the "serious" reviewers there are mostly in it for the KB and noteriety. If you see lots of bashing reviews, it's only because they're copying the style of people like Maddox or Seanbaby. The guys with 50+ reviews under their belt (and you're almost guaranteed to come across them) probably wouldn't play the games if they weren't writing about them.

SNES Central (http://www.snescentral.com) is alright, but it can be hard to find reviews if you haven't been to the site before.
GameFAQs? Hit or miss. A lot of the reviews I see there are written like bad book reports in an high school freshman english class. I only read them to find out what a game's about.
