some of you guys seem to really lack the ability to identify a game you like/hate without buying it, although there are so many tools that can make the decision quite easy
previews, reviews, user reviews, demos - just check through them thoroughly and without being blinded by the hype
I admit I didn't follow this routine well enough with Oblivion and H-L2 (I got this one for free and I actually liked CSS that came with it, so it's not much of an issue to me), but after I got burned by too much hype with these I realized my personal taste in games.
