Check here if you need any kind of buying guide for a game, and really don't think the magazines know what they're talking about.
- Don't listen to mass media. If the game interests you yourself, then check it out.
- Don't believe ALL the hype unless it's confirmed. Halo LOOKED nice but it's not that original when you get down to it.
- Don't be angry because *developer* didn't include *feature*. They probably didn't include *feature* for a good reason.
- If a game is rare, and you hear people talking about it and challenging each other, it must be a good game. But this is only if it's -rare-. If it's mainstream, then it's a corporate cash cow.
- Same name as a movie? DON'T GET IT. Movies have never transitioned well into games. *shivers remember Back to the Future for the NES*
- Same name as a cartoon? Your call there. Cartoons haven't done TOO bad in transitioning to games, but to be honest Dragonball Z: Budokai 3 & Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 are VERY WELL worth it if you're a DBZ fan.
That's all for right now. Feel free to add to the list.

What about GoldenEye 007 and Chronicles of Riddick:escape from Butcher Bay? (also, this (http://www.gamesradar.com/us/pc/game/features/article.jsp?articleId=2007021291340994012§ionId=1003&releaseId=2006032219817514003)) But yeah, movie-based games usually suck. *cough*AVGN's Back to the Future review*cough*
