I've been burned too many times by overhyped games that I now pretty much always pirate games before buying them. Demos are nice, but often games don't have one until way after release, or the demo is insufficient or even treacherous.
I had a great time with a pirated copy of Xenonauts (my first game of this kind) and that's what made me buy it.
