As we all know, the gaming industry anymore is basically BUILT on sequels anymore.
Whether it's buying the latest version of Madden, or waiting for that new Mario game, we're all guilty of buying sequels, simply due to the fact that they're sequels to games we like.
So, what's the last game you bought, where you had NO prior experience with the series (or if it's a game with no prior game).
Reboots count as sequels (i.e., the cell-shaded Prince of Persia), but spiritual sequels... well, decide for yourself on that one.
Personally, I'm currently playing Prinny 2. Yeah, it's a sequel, but I'm never played a Disgaea game before, and I bought this because it looked funny. I'm enjoying it so far (although I had to switch the difficulty to baby mode). It feels like an old-school platformer, like something you'd play on the SNES or the like. Jumping took me alittle bit to get used to, but I'm pretty much over that hump now. Just beat the 4th level.
So, when was the last time you took a risk on a new game?
