Red Red Redemption - personally, I think Grand Theft Auto is the most overrated franchise of the past two console generations. I try and try to like those games, but I just can't get into them. As a result, I almost didn't play this masterpiece. Practically everything I don't like about GTA was fixed in this game. A great story, fun missions, a likeable protagonist, a regenerating health system, a decent shooting system, etc.

Dead Space - this game was released during a time when I thought the Resident Evil franchise was the be-all-and-end-all of survival horror. After Resident Evil 5 turned out to be a complete piece of crap, I decided to give this game a chance. I'm glad I did. And because I loved this game so much, I didn't hesitate to buy Dead Space 2 on day one.

Forza Motorsport 4 - I gave up on the racing genre long before I played this game. I took a leap of faith and bought it, only to end up becoming obsessed with it. This year, this game has spent more time in my disc drive than anything else.

Same thing with me.  Had no desire to play RDR.  I traded in Killzone 3 and needed to by something with the $30 store credit so I reluctantly grabbed Red Dead Redemption and played almost nothing but that game for almost a month.  It was so bad that I'd be riding down the highway, see an animal, and an "X" would appear over them.  I'm not kidding!  Anyway, I loved that game.

Dead Space, I got for $9 from a video store going out of business.  Didn't even play it for a year after I'd bought it.  When I did, I was most impressed. 

Makes me think I should give Forza 4 a go.
