Ever bought a game you never heard of and end up with a new favourite game

Yeah Saint's Row 2 That game is FUCKING AWESOME! Seriously I had so much fun with it I was thinking it was illegal. I'm at 93% and have played for 40 hours! The variety, colour, humour is fantastic! I loved every second of it and is now on my top five of 5 games of all time I strongly recommend SR2 to anyone who's looking for a game that's FUN. Remember fun? Ah yeah SR2 ftw!

Saints Row 1. I thought "Great. Grand theft auto made by Red Faction creators, meaning we will have some deep message about how the black thug lifers are opressed by the white cops or some shit" I play it, and "ZOMFG! Characters I like! characters I feel bad seeing go! Writing! HONEST TO GOD WRITING! And god awesome gameplay!"

Morrowind. I was looking for an RPG (Back in my 9- early 12 year old stage where Final Fantasy was the greatest thing on earth) I saw some nothing game (To me) called "Morrowind" I played it... And 7 years later I put it down, because I got ahold of oblivion: goty.

Yep. I picked up Bullet Witch out of a bargain bin at Gamestop, bought it, and loved it since, despite the shortness of the game.

About 8 years ago I found a game going cheap that caught my eye, I didn't really read reviews or anything back then so I just heard about games via word of mouth. No-one had told me about it but it turned out to be rather good... it was called Deus Ex.

epic game I usually never bother with side missions but spraying turd on people come on if that's not entertaining what is?

Fucking awesome Oh and come on, you have to admit that the insurance fraud side mission is hilarious. Seing your ragdoll flying through the air, bumping your way along the freeway on cars, getting squashed by a mega truck, aaah! First time I actually understood the point of the mission, I was laughing. Laughing! When was the last time I laughed at a game? So often today games feel that they have to be serious. A shame really, since I love to laugh

I spent a majority of them missions flying through the air then hitting another car and flying again priceless

Saints Row also showed us that, to be "Next Gen" you don't need to make everything bland and colorless (Save for shades of brown)

I forgot to add that to my list. But what showed me Deus Ex was Deus Ex: Invisible War (Which, despite criticism, I have to say, was a pretty inventive game, was so fun playing a game where I could go through and not kill anyone (Save for maybe the final baddy)

 

[Milkatron]

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. A favorite among me and my friends.

Even after having played Deus Ex I didn't find Invisible War very dissapointing... I can understand where the criticism came from, but judging it by itself I agree with you, it was a pretty good game. Be interesting when the 3rd one comes out.

SSX Tricky, god damn i loved that game. I went around looking for my first game to get with my new PS2 as a 5 year old ( i think, im 14 now so you can figure it out), I found and 'E' game called SSX Tricky. It looked cool so i got it, I swear I got almost as much hours out of that then with TF2, of course this is when i combine SSX Tricky with SSX 3, my favorite ps2 game.

Pikmin was a game I did that with, it was my very first gamecube game and I never really read up on games until after I played it. Then the first game I ever pre-ordered was Pikmin 2 and I now eagerly await pikmin 3.

Unfortunately... MapleStory... but it was free so I don't think that counts.

Deus Ex: (Porn Name) Do Sex
Deus Ex: Invisible War (For solo fetishist's) Do Sex: Inviisble Whore

And coming soon (Alone)

Deus Ex: The Trap (Porn Name) Deus Ex: The Trap

but yeah, that aside. It was neat ofr the time to see such graphics quality, such level design, and a psuedo open world (At least open levels) AND it was AWESOME that I could kill that bitchy brittaney spears clone XD

Wild aRMs 3, picked it up at a game crazy bargin in for 5 bucks and while not my favorite game it's definitly up there.

I had never heard of a little game called Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I wasn't even really into for the first couple of hours. I was still fixated on Rainbow Six: Vegas. But after having played for a day or two, I was hooked. I have now logged almost 50 days total over the almost three years that the game has been out.

 

[E-mantheseeker]

Zone of the Enders: 2nd Runner, for the PS2. I bought it at a flea market for about $10 not knowing what to expect, I popped it into my PS2 and OH MY GOD was that game awesome, the game defines the word epic. I recently bought bought a PS2 and went out buying all my old favorites, and apparently Amazon.com knows how much I need to replay the game because they are charging $144.94 for it.

Also, the theme song is among my favorite songs.
