Okay, just want to know how you guys buy games.
do you read the review first? or go check for the ratings? or just.." wow, nice cover! ", " Nice cover art!,buy! " ___________________________________________ so, i just wanna find out how people buy games. Like me, i would go online and find the reviews and buy if the ratings if over 7.5/10. What about you?  |

It depends on the genre of the game. Sometimes, there are games that are overhyped by people, but unfortunately, if the genre doesn't suit me, I won't buy it. |

Gameplay videos on Youtube and demos.
I can't always trust reviews, I found Mercenaries 2 to be more decent than everyone said. |
