Apocalypse (PS)

Bruce Willis with a square head. Genius!
Hey, I remember that. Twas awesome. Took me a few minutes to work out how the shooting worked, though.

Definitely Demon's Souls.

Beyond that, maybe the original Lego Star Wars when it came out. Otherwise, mostly it's a big list of let downs.

From what I've seen a lot of people say, I guess this was unexpected.

Dante's Inferno. I really enjoyed it.

Mirror's Edge was a decent enough game. It was definetely better to me then most reviews suggested it would be. I actually enjoyed the campaign, but the speed runs and time trials frustrated me to no end.

Oblivion for me. I know how popular and well-reviewed it is, but it remains the only first-person game (because 3rd person is barely usable in it) I've ever enjoyed playing.
totally agree with this guy, I bought this game some months ago and, despite it's oldness, it's still entretaining and far better than some recent games

Demon's Souls.

I thought the combat looked like garbage through videos, but then I got my hands on it and played it like 4 times in a row. Partly for trophies, and partly because it was so damn fun.
Amazingly, me too.

The combat looked terrible, the enemies looked slow and sluggish and it made me feel like it would be a survival horror game with fucked up controls.

It then turned out to be my runner up for game of the year.

and it has no confirmed european release T_T....and i'm not using a credit/debit card to get it >_>...

and, i never thought second sight would be so good..*nerdgasm* ok back :3

Quite a few for me:
Deus Ex: Invisible War - My brother bought it on a whim because it was sci-fi, turned out to be really enjoyable, despite the hate it gets

Quantum of Solace - Got it in a multi-buy because I needed one more game to take advantage of the offer, short, but good fun none the less

Emperors: Rise of the Middle Kingdom - Again, my brother bought this one, because I was buying a game that was buy one get one free, god the hours I've logged trying to build my perfect city is crazy

1nsane - Came free with my copy of Operation Flashpoint, still in my top 3 favourite racing games (not that I play many)

Plants vs Zombies - I always dismissed it as looking silly, but then a friend convinced to try it and I was hooked. Yes it's silly, but it's awesome silly

Colony Wars - Came free with G-Police, and was probably one of my favourite Playstation games ever

Dungeons of Daggorath - I found it whilst I was researching early RPGs for my course, and decided to play it on an emulator, expecting it to be horrible. It's actually really fun and addictive, even if I fail miserably at it.

Two Worlds - I decided to try the demo, even after hearing all the bile spewed at it. I was shocked at the fact that I actually had quite a bit of fun playing it (I actually played the demo for 4 hours in one sitting), and the voice acting's always good for a giggle

Umm, that's all I can think of for now

Hm...since I don't live on Europe and it's available in Japan, China, Korea and America, I just assumed it was in Europe.

Get an import if you can.

What a prick :p

I can't help you though. Though I know that my Gamestop here will order imports for me.

I got the European import of Heavy Rain there because I hate the American box art.

Well that was interesting.

This [http://images.lazygamer.co.za/2009/12/HeavyRainBoxArt.jpg] is the awesome European box art and this [http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID6894/images/Heavy_Rain_box_art.jpg] is the dumbass American box art.

Mirrors edge. Though frustration nibbled at my heels due to its clunky free running system, it defnetly was fun and different.
Yup, I checked it out because it was cheap, and it looked different to all the other cookie-cut games so i said to hell with reviews and got it; didn't expect such an enjoyable game. The first person camera may be restrictive, and the level design a bit clunky, but damn it was fun! And i hadn't such good platforming comboing experience since Sands of time. Time trial is great aswell.
