The advantage that these personalities have is that you learn if their tastes match up with yours.
I have learned to never listen to Dunkey when he says a game is "Boring" but his idea of "Fun" matches well with me.
Also I watch some of the Angry Joe reviews because despite his tired theme of being angry all the time, he does a good job extensively covering a game from a semi objective standpoint. And I know when he is hammering home the negative points he is just hamming it up for the views so I don't take them too seriously.
Meanwhile gaming press is just a random assortment of editors with different tastes and values making it harder to discern how well the game will be for me.
That's why I like giantbomb since they are only 5 ish reviewers and you get to learn their tastes pretty easily.
