Media blackout:

A media blackout is when you know you have decided that you are going to get a game that you don't want to read about the game or see any footage of it because it will spoil the game for you, much like i did with killzone2 and partially with mgs4.

Personally i am on a media blackout for uncharted 2, bayonetta, and the last gaurdian.

Games that are close to being on a media blackout:

FFXIII

FFXIII versus.

So what about you guys, what games have made you put a media blackout on them because they are so good.

And are there any game that you have media blackout because you just think that they are rubbish, like i am with Assasin's creed, and modern warfare 2.

You don't have to follow my format answer, elaborate and derail as you please.

I think the only one which i am now advoiding hearing anything because when i heard lots of the plot points was I felt it spoiled a lot of Assassin's Creed's story so any news baring what I saw at E3 any news on Assissan's Creed 2 i am advoiding like the plauge

I've been on a media blackout for months on Uncharted 2. I knew I was buying the sequel the second I played the original Uncharted, so there's been no need for me to check up on it. I want it to be as fresh to me as possible when I finally get it.

The only slip up has been the Sony press conference at E3 because they showed it off while I was watching. Beyond that, I haven't looked at it at all.

I'll be media blackouting Valkyria Chronicles 2 for the PSP. I know it's coming, but the most research I'll do on the game is to discover the release date.

As for the PS3, FFXIII. I've seen the trailer, but I have no idea what the story is about or how the battle system works.

Final Fantasy XIII (watched one trailer, and I already feel that it spoiled too much for me - so no more) Uncharted 2 (haven't even seen a single trailer) God of War III (only saw the original teaser trailer) Eventually, Final Fantasy Versus XIII will have to be on a media blackout, but not until I've at least seen enough to footage to figure out what the hell it is. :P

I don't really do media blackout either. What do do is blackout forums near and after a games release. I'll wait till after I beat the game because even if I try to just check helpful stuff about the game I know there is always a spoiler lurking in forum topics.

Uncharted 2. I want to keep well away from it, so when I get it, It will be a fresh experience.

I'm not on a media blackout for anything, but Bayonetta is my number one priority.

I just want it for her design, I'm not interested in the story or gameplay. It does look fun as hell, though, and I liked Okami, so it shouldn't disappoint. Kamiiya's a genius, as always.

I only tend to do media blackouts for games where I'm hugely anticipating a great story and I know the game will be worth buying. (I had a 2 year media blackout for MGS4. Wouldn't even look at a screenshot if I could avoid it)

Right now God of War 3 is on a partial media blackout. I still watched the E3 presentation andI like reading articles on how it's coming along.
