2004 is a beautiful year for videogames. The most anticipated titles are released throughout the year. The graphics and AI look and act better. That great ole game convention E3 had great (and not so great) new titles that you can't wait to slap your cash on the counter for, or in some cases your parents cash. So you really want that game. How do you know its the right game? You ask me? Well, I play the demos before I choose a game. Occassionally, I do all above, but I buy demos because I have to play the game before I purchase it.

I just buy what sounds good. It usually works. Or what my mates say is good.

That's what I do too. My uncle and I trade games, but he wants me to stop buying demos because I'm just "wasting" money. It comes with the mag. If it wasn't for the demo I wouldn't have bought Crimson Skies.

I wait for games whose reviews sound interesting to drop in price.
