Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3, Musashi: Samurai Legend, Super Robot Wars MX are all games I knew of but didn't know alot about them at the times and when I got them all I loved each and every moment in them^^ A more modern example would be Batman Arkham Asylum. I heard about the game from my mate coming to the 360. I didn't own a 360 at the time so couldn't play it but played it at his and loved it! I've finished that game 4 times now and its definetly among my most cherished games now 
Roll on October for Arkham City!

Warhammer 40000: dawn of war
Walking through a game shop knew nothing at all of 40k just thought the cover looked cool so picked it up.
all these years later i own every DOW all the dlc for the new ones 3 different 40k armies and numerous other 40k affiliated stuff.
Safe to say what affect the game had on me

The Orange Box. I had never heard of Valve before, but thanks to my random purchase I was introduced to Steam, and had a new favourite developer.

I did this a lot when xbox games came down to $5 after the 360 came out. Picked up a lot of good stuff I wouldn't have played otherwise: Oddworld, Phantom Dust, Armed and Dangerous, Timesplitters...
Good times.

Metro 2033. I had seen it a few times before when I went to EB Games, then ended up buying it and LOVED it. Can't wait for Metro Last Light.
I got grandia out of a bargain bin at one point. Looked interesting from the box. Sat on the shelf for years. Played it eventually. Needless to say, I now own Grandia II and III and if I can ever find xtreme, its joinging the collection. Absolutely amazing battle system.
Fallout 3, hadn't been aware of it's release before I got it, but had played the old Fallout games. And by Odin's eye that game is awesome!
I did the same thing and bought it during a steam sale as an impulse buy. That game is amazing. The best way I can describe is it's like if the people from the total war series and the people from the elder scrolls series made a game minus the magic.brunothepig said:
I was at an old game shop with my friend and he went there to pick up elder scrolls morrowind and I was there to pick up jet set radio future and then there was a buy two get one free sale on xbox originals so I picked up a game called death I was expecting it to be a crappy fighting game and just picked it up for lulz and then we got to my friend's house and decided to try it out and it was pretty fun (not a fighting game but like ultimate frisbee meets football without all the quarters and downs)
Deathrow. its a pretty neat idea for a sport, i mean, either score or just murder your opponents xD
