what game did you decide to give a second chance on?

when I first bought Halo 3 about a year ago, I didn't think much of it. I played it for awhile and nothing changed. but just yesterday me and 3 of my friends played some local multiplayer, and it was amazing! I'm not even sure what it was. but it was exhilirating! we played a match that went up to 150 kills, and I placed in second with 130 kills. I thought I would suck, but I ended up not being bad at all, and I completely owned two of my friends quite often. I'm actually looking forward to getting ODST more now!

so that's my story. what game did you not think much of at first, but once you played it again it totally blew you away?

Dead space, when I first played it I thought "meh, another horror game" 2 months later I wanted to see why everybody was so hyped with the game, played it again and couldn't stop till I was done with it.

Amazing game, but I tried it for the first time at a bad moment in my life... that's why I didn't like it at first.

None yet... Kinda giving up on Assassin's Creed though...

Bully: Scholarship edition

I played one chapter hated it, then I borrowed it to try and get 1000G, well i beat it and i dont wanna get the 1000G cause it will spoil the fun i had in the game for the last 2 weeks.

GTA4, I got it at launch, played it for a week, then put it down for a year.

Picked it up again recently and completed it along with TLAD.

assassins creed; i played it for maybe 10 minutes way back when it first arrived and promptly pushed it aside until a few months ago when i guess i went through achievement puberty and started becoming a full fledged achievement whore (still not gonna do the sports games where you just sim for achievements though) so i plugged it in again and it took me about 3 days to beat the story then went back and whored a few more achievements and i must say, crazy fantastic game, super good visuals, the combat system is utterly fantastic and the creativity of the story is enthralling in even it's worst moments, can't wait for AC:2

the online of gears of war 2

• Dead Rising
• Call of duty 3
• Condemned

I gave up on all three of these games at first but then I went back to them later.

I want to give Mass Effect a second chance... depends if I get ODST or not... I'm having fun enough with Halo 3 but my friend is getting ODST(we we're playing the metagame til 8am this morning to get the first level achievement) and he wants me to get it as well. So it depends, because I want to get into ME2 but I hear it's going to have a feature where your previous saves affect the new game or give some bonus items, IIRC...

Deadrising.. :D..

I just rebought Halo 3. Never finished the campaign, so I'd like to see how the story ends. Even though I don't really remember what happened in the 2nd one.

Oblivion, just couldn't get into it for some reason. Then one day decided to try it again and got hooked.

Viva Pinata I played it for a little bit and thought it was fun but after around three hours of playing it I stopped because I had a lot of other games. After I beat those I came back to it and I must say it's a great game to just relax with.

I think I'll give Assassin's Creed and Gears of War 1 both another chance in the future. Always got distracted by other releases which interested me more (i.e. RPGs).

for me it was godfather 2

i played it for a day or so and didnt really like it i then went back 2 or 3 weeks later and played it all the way through and got 1000G

Condemened. I bought this game like 3 years ago and put it down a couple of times. Suddenly tore through one night last week. Not a favorite or anything though. I wish the same could be said for Mass Effect, GTA IV, and Assassin's Creed. I just can't get in these games no matter how many times I try them.

The Orange Box. I rented it awhile back and played a little bit of Half-Life 2 and a little bit of Team Fortress 2. I thought Half-Life was boring and Team Fortress wasn't anything special, but my friend bought the other day and let me play a game of Team Fortress and for some reason it completely blew me away. I don't know if it was the fact that I played Call of Duty too much, but it was just amazing to me! To make a long story short, I bought The Orange Box back and i'm completely addicted to it!

Dead space, when I first played it I thought "meh, another horror game" 2 months later I wanted to see why everybody was so hyped with the game, played it again and couldn't stop till I was done with it.

Amazing game, but I tried it for the first time at a bad moment in my life... that's why I didn't like it at first.

Bioshock. I really didnt get the hype when it first came out so I waited a long while before I ever bought it. When I first played it I was like "meh" and didnt even finish the first level but recently I picked it up again and I'm like loving it. Weird huh?

frontlines- fuel of war. played for a minute, then put it down for a few months. recently picked it up again and now i cannot stop playing.

i think i actually prefer it over call of duty.

COD 4, thought it was just OK about a year ago. Played it again recently and I see why it is such a great game.

Mass Effect

Far Cry 2. Bought it on realease, played 2 hours then didnt pick it up again for 6months becasause i didnt like the pace. I picked it up again and completed it in 2 weeks (ish). Great game.

I see Mass Effect cropping up in here a bit...I guess I should pick it back up again lol. Along with Lost Planet, I thought it was crap when I first got it.

fallout 3 and mass effect. just picked up mass effect today, spent 4 hours on it. gonna pick up fallout goty, i sold it before any of the dlc came out. i might get that instead of borderlands...

I stopped plying Fallout 3 for awhile because I kept on getting killed. I picked it back up and beat it.

Crackdown. A demo came out before the game was released, and I didn't like it (can't remember why). Because of the fact that I wanted to play the Halo 3 beta, I bought the game and decided to give the game a second try just for the hell of it. I ended up liking it because of the rooftop climbing.
