Another video game I was skeptical, over is Paper Mario 2...I didn't think it would be a good, video game but I saw GameSpot's video review, and that convinced me to buy it. I loaded the tiny disc, into my GameCube, I started play it and I had a smurfing blast! Paper Mario : The Thousand Year Door was fun! A lot of people out there say that Paper Mario 2 sucks, and they're right; it does suck...It sucks so much that I couldn't stop playing, it until I defeated, the final boss.

I never expect ff games to suck, I assume they're awesome, so none of those have positively surprised me. I did misjudge World of Warcraft, though. I didn't think I'd like it much, but I gave the trial version a shot. Then it ate me. It's the most addictive game I've ever played, and pretty fun too. Thanks to it, I still haven't finished ff9 . Though I'm working to amend that, cause ff9 is fun.

Red Faction. Greatest FPS EVER!

That was the opposite to me. I didn't like the look of Half Life (I played the demo and found it scary), so I played Red Faction instead. What a steaming pile of smelly turd. It was bloody awful. The multiplayer mode was alright though, as long you played lobby.

And now, I love Half Life.
