"Games that completely surprised you on how good they were..."
My answers:
1. Ico - a friend recommended this game years ago when it came out on PS2. I forgot about it until I bought the Ico/SOTC remake for PS3. The game just blew me away, especially the part where you have to let go of the girl's hand - just as you are about to make it to safety.
2. Heavy Rain - the positive buzz and reviews convinced me to give this game a try. One of the best games of the last gen, no question. The multiple endings were great, and the story behind the Scott character sealed the deal.
Honorable mention (from my Sega Genesis days)
1. Toejam & Earl - so much fun with a friend
2. Rolling Thunder 2 - ditto, but also adding a shooter element
3. NHL '94 - this game single handedly caused my GPA to fall from 3.5 to 2.95. Thanks EA.
