personally i watch the videos, screen shots are nice, but only game play can show me what im in for.
 
I try to avoid videos if possible (me 56ker), and go with screenies/reviews. But if I'm considering purchasing the game, I try and download a video/demo.

eh, i dont like to bother them. unless they're hijacking a thread in 'Problems & Feedback,' then im all about it. :D
 
Has to be a demo for me. All video's look great but the actual game....well.......
 
thanks Sazar. I prefer the vidoe & reviews because then I dont have to put so much into it. Demos are usually 600mbs, or more, and reviews take 5 minutes to read, and you can download a movie in that time and watch it.
 
I'll judge a game when I get to play it. So if its on PC, then I get the demo. If its on a console, I rent it first. Reviews also help make my decision.
 
I'd have to say game demo AND review, because sometimes I'll hate a game until a reviewer opints out good things that make me look at a game in another way.
 
Normally a demo, or something I've played at a friends house (which is technically a demo)
 
All combined.

Word of mouth from customers, reviews, screens, playtest, videos

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
