If it's referred to as a "Myst-like" game, I won't even give it a second look.
If it's a first-person game with a lot of action (such as Penumbra appears to be), I'm not interested.
If it's a cartoon-styled game, I need to try a demo first. I don't really like cartoons, or cartoony video games, so it has to have some exceptional gameplay and dialogue in order for me to enjoy it.
If the buzz around these parts is almost unanimously bad, I'll avoid a game. I wish I had made this decision regarding Broken Sword: The Angel of Death.
