Stealing RtM's thread from the other day but reversing it, what game has surprised you the most? Either you missed it because of not liking the looking of it, or the reviews were bad.....
Most recently i would have to say Borderlands for me, only played the 1st one a few months ago after initially being put off by the graphics (why i didnt buy it the 1st time around) i really enjoyed it and its sense of humor and i am now really into the 2nd
Batman - before i saw any of the reviews i thought i would never play it, looked like a stupid beat em/platform high breed. Boy was i wrong, friend lent it to me and i could put it down - safe to say i bought the 2nd on release day!
So what games pleasantly surprised you?

Three that I can think of off the top of my head at the moment are Earth Defence Force, Bioshock (Thought that is was going to be all hype but loved it and will still happily replay it now) and MAG.

MAG is great when you understand its all about teamwork and not going commando style on everyone.

Black on the PS2 was great. Never expected that much enjoyment.
Deadnation on the ps3 was enjoyable too.

there's a few but the one that comes easiest to mind is Gears of War 2...never heard of it nor the first one but my 360 died....wifey got me a replacement from Argos I think and it came with a games bundle...decent story line and a good multiplayer

Another one I got recently from PSN was Tokyo Jungle. Dont know if its still discounted (Think it was a one day thing as part of their Christmas offers).
RtM, thats why I enjoy MAG. A mate of mine was raving on about the fact that it has the ability to have matches with of over 250 people online and whilst I did die a shedload of times at first I've come to understand and enjoy it.

Oh and another game worth mentioning is Deus Ex, accidentally killing characters with fire extinguishers I thought were for decorative purposes = win

I had high expectations for Deus Ex and it didn't let me down. Great game.

Found out that you can now pick it up (Deus Ex) for less than a tenner at Amazon!
Well worth it
