When I was young and a tad dumb I let scores pretty much dictate what I bought and not. I could read up on a game for a year only to decide not to get it when it released because some magazine gave it a low score.
Pathetic, really, and I know that now. Nowadays I usually get disappointed when I get games that scored highly, they're almost always a letdown.
The last time a game delivered on my expectations was probably either Oblivion or Half-Life 2 (the latter was even bette than I thought even with me thinking it'd be stellar!).
