Resident Evil 4. Heard a lot about it for the longest time, only managed to snag a copy recently.

I had played Bioshock 2 when it came out a bit, but got bored and put it away.

I dusted it off and beat it a few weeks back, and thank god. It was awesome.

So, not quite on topic but close enough.

I just got the Wallace And Gromit games from Telltale during the autumn steam sale. I'd heard that they were surprisingly good, and now that I've finally played them, they really are! A must have for any Wallace And Gromit fan!

Fallout 3. I had it a while before I actually started to play it. The reason it sat on my shelf? Simply because I thought it was going to be as bad as the first two games, which I had bought and never completed because they bored the teeth off me.

Oops. Hundred-odd hours later, it has become one of my favourite WRP Gs of all time.

Quite a few actually:

I owned the original System Shock for years, but didn't play it until a summer or two ago, and it was such an absolute blast that I immediately got on eBay and ordered the second one (sadly I didn't like it quite as much).

Thief the Dark Project is also in that camp.

Metal Gear Solid I had heard about for over a decade but only got to play just this year.

Same for Shadow of the Colossus.

And now I'm playing Resident Evil 2 and Dino Crisis. I had watched other people play RE 2 but never played it myself. As for Dino Crisis, I became an overnight fan.

A friend of mine is trying to get me into Deus Ex, and I've told him I would as soon as money permits and there are no other projects on the table.

Aquaria. I'd heard about it several months ago on this site, but didn't play it until recently. It was awesome, and I found myself wondering why I didn't try it earlier.

I first heard about Deus Ex a few years after it came out, at a summer camp I think. I was mildly interested, but was young and glued to my thirteenth or so playthrough of Baldurs Gate, or maybe it was Icewind Dale at that point. Eh.

Anyway, I tried playing it last year but didn't take the time to adjust the settings and/or learn the keybindings. I was very frustrated and gave up partly through the Statue of Liberty. I started playing again two days ago and am now in Hong Kong. This game is amazing, despite the awful graphics, difficult controls, stilted dialogue and voice acting. It's easy to see why it's so often voted best game of all time.
