Any games where you started playing without a lot of expectations but ended up becoming one of your favorites?

I didn't even want to play it, actually.

Same here, but it started appearing in PSN sales for 5 bucks, so I picked it up. The entire time I couldn't believe what they managed to squeeze out of the PS3, but later I played some other later year games of the PS3 and TLoU didn't seem so impressive anymore on replay.
