There are few games that i played when i was younger that i liked verry much.but now i probably wouldnt enjoy them

There is lot more games but im little tired and cant remember them right now,ill mybe add tham later(if i remember :D )

Suprise: Stalker

Let Down: Oblivion (constantly crashes and blue screen random times, none of patches help. Looks like a great game, but i can't play more that 5 minutes without problems.

Satisfaction: Company of Heroes

Surprise: Prey. I was expecting a fairly standard FPS game (which it was) but some real unique graphical twists make it worth the purchase and play. Definitely worth checking out just for those moments.

Let Down: None, really. The KOTOR2 ending, or lack thereof. I just got around to playing it this year so it counts! Quake War doesn't look like it'll amount to much too which is disappointing.

Satisfaction: Dark Crusade. Quite easily the best expansion I've ever played still delivers for me.

[QUOTE="firefly026"]I'm surprised to see BioShock as so many let downs.Smaug84

I suspect System Shock 2 has some responsibility to play in that. Also while I know many people will disagree with my opinion on this I honestly feel from playing the demo that I would get bored of Bioshock real fast.

And if only SS2 had some updated graphics I might be tempted to play it to discover how such an event occured..........

I just think it has so many let downs because it's not the 10/10 game that sooo many reviews claim.

Surprise: WORLD IN CONFLICT

Letdown: SUPREME COMMANDER (turtlers kindom, stupid AI even with patches, optimization still could be better even with patches, everything looks sooooo blocky, worst multiplayer EVER!)

Satisfaction: Age of Empires 3 (plus expansion)

Surprise: Call of duty 2

Let down: WoW

Most satisfaction: BF2142(With all the unlocks and stuff)

Surprise: My only surprise is a non-PC game... The Darkness

Let Down: STALKER

Satisfaction: KOTOR 2, Medieval 2 Total War, Rainbow Six Vegas

Surprise: Advent Rising, this game is really good and underrated, too bad its sequals were canceled

Let Down: STALKER

Satisfaction: KOTOR- wow, just wow. this is my most favourite game ever, i love every part of it.

Biggest Surprise: Dark Cloud 1 & 2 (although not my favourite games of all time, I wasn't expecting them to be as fun as they were)

Let Down: Halo 2 (I liked it still, but theres a lot of little things in the single player that I really hated, including story and gameplay). Also FF12 was a huge let down & Viva Pinata - I wish I could have liked it.

Most Satisfaction: Halo, Ultima 7, C&C series, FF4, Chrono Cross/Trigger, Jagged Alliance 1&2

Surprise

STARCRAFT 2 anounced

DIABLO 3 anounced

(omg im so happy)

has diablo 3 really been announced?!

In the past year:

Surprise - MOH:Airborne Demo. I hope the retail version is as good.

Satisfaction - Hitman Blood Money. The best Hitman yet by far. Missions were cleverly designed and very replayable.

Let Down - Splinter Cell Double Agent. Another boring splinter cell story. Not much different than we were first told.

Surprise

DIABLO 3 anounced

Just so you know lol Diablo 3 was NOT announced, if its not on the official blizzard website, its bullcrap, sorry lol.

Suprise: FFXI, Company of Heroes

Letdown; C&c3, Heroes V, LotRO,

Satisfaction: Warcraft 3 - Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne, World of Warcraft, Battle for Middle Earth II, Starcraft, NWN.

surprise-company of heroes, its a really fun rts

let down- cant think of one

satisfaction-halo pc, im still playing it almost all the time on multiplayer!!!

Great topic. Not clear if you mean recent games, or all time, so Ill list both.

Surprise - current: Company of Heroes (oh the micro) lifetime: Battlefield 1942

Letdown - current: Oblivion Vanilla (OOO makes it fabulous) lifetime: Everquest 2 (I was sooo excited...)

Satisfaction - current: Bioshock. (level design and interaction A+) lifetime: Everquest 1 (I have never enjoyed a game more.)

Just in the last year or so? OK...

Suprise: Call of Juarez - I can see why people dislike the game, but I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as good as it turned out to be. I thought it was really well done.

Let Down: Oblivion - 'nuff said.

Satisfaction: Sam and Max: Season 1 - I haven't enjoyed a game (series) this much in a long time. The first episodes were a bit slow, but Episodes 4 and 5 are two of the funniest games I can think of.
