It sucked, is what I'm trying to say.

Or from the seventh generation, whichever you prefer.

Surprising obviously means games that exceed expectations, while disappointing means games that fall short of expectations. They don't necessarily have to be favorites or least favorites. A lot of the most disappointing games I've played were actually still great.

Most Surprising

10. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (A huge step-up from the original, though I still expected great things from it.)

9. Mortal Kombat (2011) (Originally thought it was all flash and no substance.)

8. Motorstorm: Apocalypse (Didn't think much of the first two, but this one was a real surprise.)

7. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (The first one wasn't so great, so I wasn't expecting much from the sequel.)

6. Kid Icarus: Uprising (Didn't know what to expect, but I loved it, even the on-rail sections.)

5. Mega Man 9 (The first Mega Man game I played more than 15 minutes.)

4. Final Fantasy X (I didn't like Final Fantasy III or XII, but this ended up being my favorite PlayStation 2 title.)

3. Rayman Origins (Didn't expect this to be on the same level as Mario, Donkey Kong, and Mega Man.)

2. Demon's Souls (I knew the online play was going to be awesome, but not everything else too.)

1. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (My very first Fire Emblem game!)

Most Disappointing

10. Red Steel (But you could turn the gun sideways!)

9. Dead Space (Predictable jump-scares, insultingly easy puzzles, repetitive environment, among other things.)

8. Half-Life 2 (For the "best game ever," it certainly had a lot of problems. The only thing worse were the expansions that followed.)

7. BioShock (Should've just been a movie.)

6. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (Should've just removed the first half of the game.)

5. Final Fantasy XIII (Extremely linear and tedious, and that's not to mention the cringe-worthy dialogue.)

4. Scribblenauts (I fell for the hype courtesy of System Wars.)

3. Resident Evil 6 (I don't even care it wasn't a horror title, the action was bad too!)

2. Paper Mario: Sticker Star (Just make Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door 2 already!)

1. Super Mario Sunshine (Seven main worlds with little variety between them, blue coins making up 1/5 of the Shine Sprites, cumbersome camera, etc. Super Mario Galaxy more than made up for it, however.)

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (Game of the Generation, in my opinion) and The Last Story (also excellent).

That is the most depressing thing I have ever read.

This guy is going to grow up and kill at least six hookers.

Yes, I have the 3D slider up all the way at all times. No exceptions.

It's part of the experience. It'd be the equivalent of playing with the volume off (I always have it set at maximum).

I definitely have to go with Rayman Origins. It's right up there with Donkey Kong, Mario, and Mega Man in terms of 2D platforming quality. The older games don't hold up so well.

...I haven't finished The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds yet. The reason being that I usually play handheld games when I'm at college and console games when I'm at home. I just got to school and have so far finished the first temple and am liking it a lot so far! It'll probably be in the top three by the time I finish it.I will not being counting The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D since it is a remake. I'll do a top 5:

5. New Super Mario Bros. 2

4. Kid Icarus: Uprising

3. Pokemon X/Y

2. Super Mario 3D Land

1. Fire Emblem: Awakening

Paper Mario: Sticker Star is the most disappointing game I've played on the 3DS, and Kid Icarus: Uprising is the most surprising game I've played on it.

I doubt anything on the system will ever replace my number one choice... except for maybe another Fire Emblem game. I'm really hoping for another Advance Wars game, but that is unlikely to ever happen.

Super Mario Galaxy 3. I'm still keeping the hope alive.

GameSpot's old reviews were particularly terrible. Some were only three-four paragraphs long and hardly told anything about the game.

Also, the Wii Remote and (3)DS touchpad are great for first person shooters.

And to think people thought it might end up that way... I was disappointed with Final Fantasy XIII, but I will still give Final Fantasy XV a try.
