The video game that "finally" won you over. (56k warning)

Call of Duty 4.

STALKER, Empire: Total War (Thanks Darthmod), both Chronicles of Riddick games.

System Shock 2

I tried playing it like 3 times (the first time in 2007) before I finally was able to get into it.

Once I finally did, I loved it

For RTS games i remember when i played the original Empire Earth when i was younger, That game just soaked me in and it was my favorite for years, i loved that there was like 17 ages from stone to spacial. And recently i finished crysis 1 couple of months ago when i finaly got my gtx 460 and i didn't expect it to be great due to the "mixed" reviews and that it was just graphics but that wasn'st the case. The game and the levels completely blew me out. Started playing crysis 2 now, im just in the first levels which are ok, but i read it kicks in after so im looking forward the same experience i got from crysis 1

However, before that there was a little F1 car racing game that was popular on arcade machines at gaming shops, then on the Nintendo Game Boy, but I saw it on my first PC, an old PC that was gonna be thrown in the garbage, but I begged for it, I can't remember the name of the game, maybe it was F1 Race, it was on a MS DOS 386 machine a long time ago.

I remember my parents getting me that f1 racing game for game boy, I hated it. I was like 5 at the time and had never played a racing game before, so I won maybe 2 races ever.

Fable 2, Fallout 3. I must have started each one 2-3 times and then something just clicked and made me realize how awesome they both were.

Currently, I am trying my hardest to get back into Mass Effect (yes, the original). It's one of those games I had no interest in until the sequel came out and was universally praised, and I have this thing where I can't play a sequel if I don't beat the original. I just feel like it's not quite a shooter, not quite an rpg. I'll get there. Oh I will get there 8)

Also, I really feel like I want to like Assassin's Creed (yes, the original, see above) but, I mean, I just don't *get* it. Climb a tower, find a Flag, kill a dude X10. I really feel like this whole series is going to be cut off for me because I can't bring myself to get into it.

Neverwinter Nights 2

I found the gameplay a little boring and barely played it a first, but eventually the story had me hooked.

Most recently, Champions Online, after a bunch of friends started playing it. I always disliked super hero themed games and movies, but I really enjoy this little game.

Also I'll give a nod to Warhammer 40k: DoW 1. Didnt know a thing about WH, didnt care....until my friend forced me into his office and made me try DoW1. I now own all the WH games

It took me a while to get into CS as well, the learning curve when it was at it's prime was very intimidating! I also thought I was the only person who got turned off by boring/annoying environments! I think Bulletstorm is calling to me because it's so colorfol and vibrant.

I used to be a big PC gamer a long time ago (10 yrs ago) and it wasnt until Starcraft 2 came out that I really got back into PC gaming.

I finally thought of one. Dawn of War 2. I thought Dawn of War 2 was a big mistake and a step in the wrong direction, but after playing it for awhile I think the game was pretty good. KHAndAnime
