Too often we complain about how let down we are by games that are "overhyped".

But how about the other end of the spectrum? Which games did you not have too high hopes for but wound up totally blowing you away?

For me some games include:

Mass Effect: I knew this game would be good but DAYM the game had amazing graphics, great story, great voice acting, presentation, gameplay. And it was totaly original. I admit I wasn't expecting it to be that good. A little short but still very very good.

Dead Space: I was expecting another me too shooter with this one. Again like Mass Effect It had great voice acting cool story, great graphics, SCARY AS HELL. If you liked RE4 you will LOVE dead space.

Street Fighter 4: As a longtime streetfighter fan I thought the polygonal SF4 would be gimped. I was wrong, SF4 is fast responsive balaced and beautiful.

Super Mario Galaxy: The proof that Wii can really kick ass. I have always enjoyed Mario games but this one is to me by far the greated ever.

So how about you?
