podcasts have changed how I enjoy games

Something I have noticed about gaming since I have been more active in podcasts is that it has affected my enjoyment of game. I am one of those people have about 10-15 podcasts on the docket all the time. Not all of these are about gaming, but half of then at any given time are. The thing about podcasts is that almost all of the ones I listen to are from the games press, and they all recieve early builds/review copies of games that come out. Naturally they talk about their experiences and the basic premeises of the game. I like this as it helps me discover what a game is about and if i really am interested before shelling the cash. The drawback is that sense of discovery is now gone from that game, and i find it really affects my enjoyment of the game. I find it so much more enjoying to fresh into a brand new world or story and experience every thing for the first time on my own. Given the price of games I'm not going to give up listen to reviews and I enjoy many of the personalities I follow too much to stop, so I stuck with what I do now until I come up with something better.
