I tend to try different genres of games but I am not a fan of JRPGs, and work simulator games (but I really want to get into the ones where you drive farming equipment)
I ask people what they think about games, screen shots, and I am influenced by price. At this point I'm not going to jump on a new release because it's $60 dollars. I see that price and I think I could buy a bunch of older $10-15 console games or buy a couple of bundles and try a bunch of different games.
I tend to stick to genres that I know I will enjoy like sports, platform, sand box, shooters to an extent, and of course racing. I don't care about the age of the game, but if a game is short it better be cheap. If a game is on the expensive side it better be a long game. I want as much bang for my buck.
