NBA 2K11, read the IGN review, and they are right. Sports game of this gen IMHO.
What about the opposite? I passed on Assassin's Creed after reading IGN's review, and I borrowed it from a friend, had fun for maybe a hour, then got bored. So good decision there :)
The worst thing is when you read an extrapolated review and you decide to go out on a limb and buy the game. I regret buying Braid based on the 9.5 GameSpot review. I thought it was a decent platformer, but more like an 8 vs. a 9.5.
Usually, I buy sequels to my favorite series (MGS, FF, GT, Uncharted, R&C, Mario, Metroid) and sometimes on hype/demos/friends opinions. But i am really cautious about buying new IPs normally.
Human contact, the final frontier.
