Everyone makes threads about game dissapointments and biggest let downs...so I figured Id turn this the other way around.

What are few games that you purchased/rented/borrowed...that you thought will completely suck, yet they shockingly blew your mind and made you in to a fan of the series?

Few I can think of for me would be -

1. Resident Evil 1(saturn) - I really hated most 3d games when they got popular in late 90s and I thought this would be no different but boy was I in for a shock. It was my favourite game for quite a while after...and I bought a PS1 in a month as resident Evil 2 was coming out.

2. Tomb Raider Legend (Xbox360) - I hated the old tomb raider games cause of controls but this one was very enjoyable and I am looking forward to Underworld.

3. Mario Strikers (Wii) - It was the most fun I had with my wii and I got the game by accident. Rented Super Mario Galaxy and got this instead by mistake...

4. Headhunter (Dreamcast) - i figured Dreamcast was over and dead by late 2001 so it was in complete shock to find out the quality and production values as well as the variety of gamplay for this game. Too bad the sequel sucked... 

What are some of yours?
