Not really a twist, but Enslaved had more of a WTF ending. I guess that's a twist in a way. mrmusicman247

boy that game, I liked the demo but could not get into the full game,so I threw it in the trash.

Bioshock comes to mind very quickly. It was a genuinely unexpected and well executed twist. Also, KotOR has a great one, though it was spoiled for me. Persona 4 also had many awesome twists, though again, it was spoiled for me. I just can't go to the internet for any of the popular twist-games :P

Infamous. I think the people who played it know what I mean from the end of the game.

Heavy Rain. Normally I'm pretty good at guessing the twist ending in films and stuff but I just didn't see that coming at all.

inFamous- the ending. It's the only game I can think of that had a legitimately surprising twist. Others like Vanquish, AC2, and even Portal 2 I saw them all coming.

Deadly Premonition. Took me a while to wrap my head around that one. Bioshock. Didn't see that one coming.

No, but the "plot twist I was referring to was

-

-

***SPOILERS***

All of your companions being assassin's. I saw that coming long before it happened. I'll admit, I didn't see the ending coming, but I would really consider that a twist.

The problem with Bioshock is that it was the exact same as System Shock 2. I played SS2 after Bioshock and I knew what was going to happen so I suppose the same applies if you played SS2 before Bioshock, the only difference is that Bioshock is richer with literary artifacts.

I would say kotor, but I figured it out just before they reveal it to you completely. I can't really think of anything else that had a good plot twist.

Team Fortress 2. Still probably the under rated single player game of the generation, I hardly ever see people talk about it. [spoiler] "That engineers' a spah!" I never saw it coming [/spoiler]

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Normally storyline twists don't surprise me,but this one did. I thought it was pretty clever storyline writing on the part of BioWare.

This gen it's easily silent hill: shattered memories. That game's ending just gets in your head for days.

Wind waker was a bit surprising too when you found out what was below the sea.

Silent Hill Shattered Memories. I think anyone who has played that game would agree.

I've had a lot of twists ruined for me before I got to play them myself sadly. However the best one that comes to mind is probably Shattered Memories' twist at the end. I had no idea that would be the ending.

I'm torn between MGS3 and Bioshock.

Both were great, but MGS3 was my first experience with twist endings in games. It was just amazing, sad and emotional. Great ending and what really made it stand out is how it didn't rely heavily on a cliffhanger or knowledge of previous games to be appreciated (though it helps).

SS2
Everything from MGS2, 1 and 3's ending.
Bioshock (it's unfortunate that after the reveal it all went downhill from there)
FFX

MGS3 - The Boss turning on you / you having to kill the greatest hero at the time

FFX - Auron being dead / jecht being sin

Bioshock - Atlas turning against you

MGS4 - Liquid Ocelot... Was Ocelot the whole time???

Yeah i gotta go with this, it was also one of the most badass twists.

Without a doubt, still the most legendary plot twist in all of gamedom.

Knights of the Old Republic, or Bioshock. These, especially the latter, have got to be the best executed twists in all of gaming history, not the most famous, that goes to finding out Samus is a lady.
