Sleeper hits

Are there any games that you saw on offer, or randomly thought I will give it a go, that turned out to be an awesome game?
I was in Game the other day and saw Mass Effect for £20 played it and absolutely love it

I got Mass Effect on release day, pretty good.
I'm not a fan of the crazy combat system, although I know KIA likes it just fine so maybe that's just me. The storyline aspect is really well done though.

I've done that sort of thing with films, but not games.
Closest i've came to that is when I first got my playstation (wow, takes me back to when I was a kipper). Anyway. My parents bought it me as a christmas present with three games.
A snowboarding game, some other which i forget, and Final Fantasy VII.

And obviously, being the geek that I tend to sometimes be, I loved it.

It's nice when you get/see/do something by chance and it turns out to be great.

P.S.
My parents didn't buy me a memory card, so for the first couple of months of playing it I would have to leave the playstation on for days.
I swear, I've played the first few hours of FF7 more than anyone else in the world.

Skies of Arcadia. Picked it up thinking it'd see me through a lazy Easter Loved it.

Defcon and Darwinia by Introversion were nice "This is cheap, I'll give it a go" games I have really enjoyed.

mass effect is a total kotor ripoff.
kotor is better even and more variation.
better puzzles too.
mass effect has like 1.

the fighting is a tiny bit better (not totally turn based). but you cant use the force so that stinks :p.

anyways, if you liked mass effect, play kotor (or kotor II).

You do know the guys who made KOTOR made Mass Effect?

I do.
No excuse to make it exactly alike and not even better =x.
