I only dive for two things -- the quirky and the masterful. Examples -- Katamari Damacy=Quirky (Got it before all the iPod Chic Geeks did!) and Phantom Brave=Masterful. I've bought games out of sheer fandom before, though, and didn't look back -- that would be Final Fantasy X and Contra: Shattered Soldier [I'm weak!!!][on second thought, they were good games anyway]. I bought Ninja Gaiden because I beleive that it's the pinnacle of the action genre -- insanely challenging and deeply rewarding (if only for psycological reasons). I also spend my time downloading obscure 2D Japanese shooters, mostly freeware, if that gives you any idea of my gaming tastes.
