Price; while the typical $20 to $30 price tag most Adventure games have isn't strenuous for "my" wallet, the costs of S&H plus possible taxation (60% of total cost) means I very rarely import any game over $10 or $15, not just Adventures. Games above $20 I attempt to purchase when I travel.
System Reqs.; this one's a no-brainer (sp: brainier?!), I won't buy a game I know I can't run. I refuse to upgrade, so pretty much any graphics heavy game will be avoided.
Game style; I try to avoid judging books by their covers, but I often disregard Adventure games in first person perspective or that I know are heavy in puzzles. They're just not my cup of tea.
