Games you'd now rate higher now, after time has passed

That's a tough one, because usually I'd rank games lower after some time has passed. Maybe Half-Life 2, because initially I thought it was just a cool shooter, now I actually find it to give things to think about and finer details to appreciate? Still overrated though, even though I've always liked it.

Whooooah. I can kinda see where you're coming from, perhaps you played it later than the 00's and the hype didn't live up? That game is was so wildly great even in 2006 when I played it first it felt revolutionary. 

I preordered the game and played it at launch back in 2004. Didn't feel revolutionary. Felt kind of similar to the first game in many ways, perhaps with less enemy variety and gravity gun as a fun gimmick. I guess the physics puzzles felt new at the time though. Like I said, I've always liked the game, but I've learned to appreciate it more after it.
