i'm kinda disappointed with this thread.

i didn't expect everyone to post so many blockbusters.
for me, the real "wow, this is much better than expected it to be" games are niche games no one knows about or games that everyone else hates, but i love.
like the baseball game mentioned before that i never heared about and will check out now!

super mario galaxy might be one of the best games this gen, but i was not at all shocked by its greatness... i kinda expected it to be brilliant anyway. other players, sales, even critics said so, why should i be shocked if its awesome?

if anything, blockbusters are usually the games i am shocked about in the opposite way because often they don't live up to the hype. and now i see all those overhyped games in this thread ;)
