Hello, When it comes to me and game walkthroughs I listen to them both to see how others play the game and for an insite in to the game itself. Reading game descriptions and a manual is good for a game overview, but for me there's a lot more to a game than replay value. Some games I've looked at the quality of sound effects or voice overs has been a turn off, and listening to the walkthroughs gives me that information, telling me if the game is a purchase or not.
