Herrick doesn't. It's annoying when they put spoilers in previews, even if they're minor spoilers. I'm very interested in The Witcher, but the preview that came out recently said there were spoilers in it. Same thing with the Hellgate preview. Well, they said there were "slight" spoilers. I do appreciate the warnings and it isn't that big of a deal cause I can just skip the preview, but isn't it possible to preview a game without giving things away that were apparently supposed to be a surprise?

I don't read them either. That's why I skipped the last preview of The Witcher as well.

Yeah I hate any spoilers. I don't watch those making of the movie things on tv before it comes out and sometimes I don't even like watching the tv previews. Needless to say, when I see that an article is going to have spoilers I always skip it. Good thing gamespot usually doesn't have spoilers.... someone needs to talk to ign about that

Personally, I have no problem. By the time I get around to the game, I will have forgotten what I read. Yah, I'm that forgetful about some things ;)

I read them. The story in games is rarely so good that it actually spoils anything good.

I try to avoid spoilers but I often find them tucked in previews as a side-comment then I regret readingit afterwards. It sucks because a lot of the time the spoilers mention something that the developers are particularly proud of, and that is then ruined for me once I experience it in the game because it's the "Oh yea, this..." reaction.

For that reason I decided I'm not going to be reading anything on Fallout 3. I'd read the current previews and already had several spoilers. I have little hope for the game as it is soI'd like to keep those "gems" for when I experience them ingame and discover them for myself.

I contemplated not reading the latest Witcher preview, but I ended up reading it. For me, I suppose it depends on what level of spoiler it is. If the preview is going to give some major story arc away, which they very rarely do, then I'll opt out of reading it. But, like the latest Witcher review, if the preview is only going to touch on certain elements of the story then I have no problem reading it.

Yeah. I don't really mind spoilers. Never did. It's not like it's going to ruin the game for me.
