I bought this game called SOS: Final Escape (or Disaster Report in America) a few years ago for the PS2. It was pretty cheap, so I thought "why not?" and gave it a go. For starters, the controls weren't all that great, neither was the graphics. The main character isn't very speedy either. But it turned out to be an alright game when you got playing. I enjoyed it despite not really liking the first few minutes.

Dark Cloud is another, and it's now one of my favourite video games ever. Me and my brother just picked it up one day from the rental, and like... kept renting it because it was that good. Neither of us had heard anything about it before we rented it, and it was purely because of the cover (the others looked boring - the selection was limited in the game department). Also, it was a rare game to find over here.

Fallout 3. Yeah yeah. I only played it because my teacher lent the college's copy to me for a weekend. I don't quite know why, but I was the only girl gamer in the class so... yeah. I think he thought it was a joke. Then I asked for another week with it. Then another week... and before I knew it, I'd borrowed it for a month and was asking for it for Christmas. I didn't think it'd be my type of game at the time, but I just got hooked.

Nier. I've not finished much of it yet, but I honestly thought it'd be a let down. Turns out not to be as bad as I thought it would be and I was enjoying it... before Red Dead Redemption turned up. =S
