Too Human for me. Played the demo and did not like it at first, got the game cheap and it turned out to be my game of the year

Epic game, what reviewers seemed to not understand was that godhand is a game about punching people. That's it, nothing more, nothing less.

Eternal Sonata, had heard many things labelling it as poor/ordinary. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Crackdown, just WoW, loved every minute of it.

Valkyria Chronicles for the PS3 for me. I had heard it was meant to be good but after 8 chapters in I am hooked!

Fallout 3, I knew it would be good but not that good.

Strife212 · 6 Mar 2009 at 20:03

Honestly, nothing :/

Killzone 2. Got this expecting it to be quite average but the online play has kept me off the main game, which is rare for me!

Fallout 3. Hated Oblivion but fell in love with Fallout 3 and can't get enough of it.

Waiting eagerly for The Pitt DLC

I'd agree, I'm on a bit of an off period from it at the moment as I've got loads of other stuff I've been waiting to play.

It's just got better and better so far, and I can't wait to get back into it.

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction. thought it would be a bit too kiddy for me, but was very pleasantly surprised - it's an excellent game, one of the better ones on the PS3.

The lost booty DLC for Ratchet and Clank from PSN is great too
