ArsTechnica tends to have very good reviews and I get the vast majority of my gaming news from them (the rest is from friends I know in person.) But that works for me because I am a long time reader and know that their tastes in game are similar to mine. If your tastes skew far differently they may not be a good source. Also, it helps that I read their technical content anyway so I see the gaming news in the course of what I am doing anyway.
In general, the best place to possibly get good reviews is to have friends with similar tastes as you and ask them what they like. Not only will you get recommendations you know are good, you will have someone to talk about the games with/play multiplayer with.
And despite the fact they will be dated, don't forget some of the classics. Planescape Torment and Quest for Glory V were fantastic. Even with dated graphics they stand up well to many modern games, at least to someone with my taste in RPG games.
