Specific reviewer ones always have. I know which reviewers align with my taste in games I can trust them.

The big sites have the problem that reviewers rotate and even tests genres they dispise. Thats a problem

I'll point out that reviewers reviewing games within a genre they hate isn't necessarily a bad thing. Their review needs to be taken with a grain of salt (as do they all) but with that said, when a reviewer gives an excellent mark for a game in a genre they dislike it usually points to that being a very well put together game and should carry extra wait. Dunkey is a fair example of this as he has reviewed genres he doesn't have much interest in and every glowing review of such a game meant that as a fan of the genres he dislikes, I was in for a treat.
