Alpha protocol , i bought it at a futur shop because the price was wrong , it was 9 $ instead of 29$ . Anyways i bought it and didn't play it right away , it just sat there . Then one day months later , i decided to try and i loved it . The first game in years that i played gwice back to back.
Nier. I picked it up on a whim, wanting something half-decent and cheap (it was pre-owned) that'd last me till Deus Ex came out. I've enjoyed it and played it much more then Deus Ex, which is also a very fun game.
back in early 2010 my friends asked me to get Oblivion because they said it was $15 and extremely fun. When i got to gamestop looking on the back I said "This doesn't look to good" And hour later I was glad I bought it, seriously one of the best games ever and didn't hear about it till 2010!
Defense Grid: The awakening
I'm not much of a fan of tower defense, and I got it in the potato sack, but the game turned out to be awesome

I don't have a link but I remember reading that Alpha Protocol had REALLY underperformed sales wise and that they wouldn't make a sequel.GoldenRaz said:
Vanquish. I went in expecting a pretty shitty b-movie type game to kill a few hours, and came out with a surprisingly funny, purposely camp little gem that completely dug a hole under the radar.
OMFG, I thought I was the only one who loved that game xD I didn't buy it myself cuz I was a kid at the time, so I didn't choose games based on the reviews, I bought it based on whether it sounded/looked cool or not. Well, needless to say, I got that game, and loved it. It was roller coaster tycoon if it was awesome and had dinosaurs.Fenra said:
Lol, one time, I let all my carnivores out during a rainstorm and when I tried to get in the helicopter to tranq them, I found out you can't fly in the rain and my t-rex ate all my customers xDLuke3184 said:
Fallout 3, been playing 1 and 2 for years but considering the massive change in gameplay and stuff i wasnt sure, but i was happily proved wrong
Oh and spiderman 2 and scarface the world is yours, possibly the only 2 games based off films that were worth anything as far as im aware

Fallout 3, funnily enough. It looked like another first/third person shooter with rpg elements and an aesthetic that didn't really resonate with me at the time.
Now i own all the fallout games, a bobblehead, a special edition Brotherhood of Steel statue and all the DLC so far (except for the New Vegas stuff, as i'm waiting for a disc collection of the lot. No idea when/if it's even coming out, but i live in hope.)

I though F.E.A.R. was going to be a steaming pile of crap but I was really good. It's one of my favorite shooters ever.
I saw my friend playing Bulletstorm and I thought, yeah its alright. But it would get pretty repetitive.
I've now beaten it about 4-5 times. Brilliant game. Really took me by surprise, and I recommend it to anyone that loves the pure fun of kicking people into cacti and removing their faces with your foot.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2.
Before I bought this game, I was unaware of the Shin Megami Tensei series/brand and it's connection to the Persona series. I picked this game up on a whim because I was going through a game dry spell and thought that this would keep me busy until the next big release title.
I couldn't stop playing this game, even when I bought two new games for the PS3. I had to finish Devil Summoner 2 first, but I had fun doing so.
