If someone tells me to try it before judging then if the game is interesting enough and i have the cash i will purchase it. However since thats not always the case i usually try to borrow the game from a friend (which i will go out and purchase afterwards if i really enjoyed it) or wait until it goes down in price.

To answer your question about whats my method before purchasing a game.....
i watch trailers, gameplay videos and read a couple articles about the game. If i like it or sounds like it caters to my tastes then i purchase it.....all with out looking at metacritic or a single review :). (i might check the review of the game later when im done, but usually i dont because i mostly dont care what reviewers have to say about a game i enjoyed)

However there are the times when i've read reviews about games unknown or mis looked which could spark my interest.
