Games you tried that were suprisingly fun

Fallout 3, L4D and AoC. I got the first 2 because I was terribly bored, without any pretenses. I knew that Fallout 3 was much like Oblivion, wich I never really gotten into, and I thought L4D would get boring quick with it's véry limited amount of levels. O boy how was I wrong with both games. I bought AoC because I wanted to check out if it was réally that bad, and it was just 15 euro's anyway. And I ended up liking it a lot, I was playing a HoX and the melee system was really fun to play. I haven't subbed though, I couldn't get into it for too long. That's not AoC's fault though, I just can't get into MMO's anymore (though I see myself playing EVE).
L4D was quite the surprise. I thought it looked lame and was not interested, but got it because it had split-screen and I figured my roommate and I could play together. It's one of my favorites now.Assassinator said:
The Force unleashed got a lot of bad press but I didn't mind it probably because I expected a hack and slash and that's what I got. Also I thought it had a decent story better then 1, 2 and 3
I was expecting God of War to be a mediocre hack-'n'-slash and was pleasantly surprised at how much effort went into the game.
LEGO Star Wars was another game that I'm not ashamed to say I enjoyed massively, despite having reservations about it.

I concur, I got Crackdown as a tester for a friends chinese Xbox i was fixing, and I must say, it was an incredibly fun ride.llewgriff said:
edit, i got it for free off a friend, and he decided to give it to me indefinitly.
Yeah. People went in expecting a KotOR or Republic Commando quality game, but it's unfair to expect every game to be that stellar. I felt it did what it set out to do, and it did so well.Chief565 said:
Anyway, I have to say Dark Sector. I got that game because I was bored, and I was fully expecting it to suck, but it ended up being fun. Really fun.
Fate Stay Night turned out to be amazingly good despite my expecting it to be hokey and chock full of awkward translations. Warcraft 3 was better than I initially gave it credit for once I had some idea how to use a hero character effectively. L4D I wasn't really sure about but once I tried it I loved it. The Monkey Island games are pleasantly surprising as well considering they come from a pretty bad genre.
Morrowind. I bought it pretty much blind, it just looked like a fun game and was cheap ($8). I played it for a bit and completely loved it. Hell, I still play it from time to time, and I bought it 4-5 years ago. In fact, I think I'm going to go play it right now.
