I completely, 1000% ignore game previews, even those for games I know that I'm going to absolutely adore.
I don't want to be told of a game's incredible new stuff. It's not like I'll miss it when it comes out. And for games I know I'll like, I can't read previews because you never know when some asshole writes an inadvertent spoiler, ESPECIALLY close to release. I also do not read reviews of games I do not own for the same reason, though for some games, like platformers, that's not so important. Silent Hill 3 has a major, massive plot twist, and I read a preview in which enough information was given that I was able to figure out what happened (and I turned out to be right), and I was so pissed off I couldn't breathe. So, previews get the cold shoulder from me.
