    Which game or games live up to the Hype!!!!

    Since we have a thread for biggest dissapointment. I figured why not have a thread for games that lived up to the hype by meeting or exceeding your expectations.

    Now it does not have to be a game that scored a 9 for a review. It is for games that you you were hyped for and it meet your expectaiotns, and you can also list games that you thought not much of , but you gave the game a run. It surpassed your expectations.

    Dead Space 2: Not as chilling as the 1st D.S, but it was a fun game to play, and it meet my expectations.

    Mortal Kombat: This game here really surpassed my expectations

    Warhammer: Knew nothing about this title. Played the demo and enjoyed it. Purchased the retail version and really enjoyed this game. Since I had now kowledge of this game I ahve to say it was more of a surprise game. Surpassed my expectations.

    Captain America: I though this game would be garbage, but played it on the hardest level, and the game is very fun to play. It passed my expectations.

    Rage: Im really enojying this game. Playing on the hard level, and love how the enemies really move around in a fight. Nice and Challenging. Meet my expectaions to the hype this game was receiving.

    Batman Arkham City: This game really is a great game. Honestly surpassed my expectations.

    Assassins's Creed brotherhood: Exceeded my expectations

    Dead island: I really thought this games was going to be nothing but hype and hope. Not really much of anything being said or shown with this title other than a really cool trailer. I have to say this game was fun and exceeded my expectations.

    Earth Defense Armageddon: Not this this title is revoutionary or anything like that, but I really wasn't expecting nothing at all with this title. gave it a shot and the game turned out to be fun. My son and I get a kick out of this game. Tons of action. Exceeded my expectations.

    Deus Ex: This game by far exceeded my expectations. Amazing Game!

        L.A. Noire for me!
        I assume Arkham City does though still waiting on that PC version.
        I can tell just from the videos Saints Row the 3rd does.
        Catherine was great. Still meaning to get the rest of the endings.
        Driver SF didn't have any hype for me but it was a great game anyway.
        Crysis 2 once they got the DX11 in there.
        Finally Dirt 3.

          I'll throw a vote down for LA Noire, big surprise here.

          Apart from the technology hype, I never got caught up in the sand-box world hype that seemed to take hold of a lot of people.


          Arkham City is a definite hype beater. You can read all the impressions and reviews you want to, but you have no idea how great of a game it is or how much of an improvement over Arkham Asylum (which itself was a great game) without playing it for yourself.

              I've played quite a few good games this year.

              Three stand out for me so far though. All three are just amazing and in my top 5 for this gen without having finished the latter 2 yet.

              Deus Ex: HR
              Dark Souls
              Batman Arkham City

              Deus Ex probably surpassed expectations the most for me though, because it was the first I'd played of the series.

                  Arkham City so far. Arkham Asylum was one of my favorite games, so I was obviously very excited for AC. But my goodness did they do even better with the game than I could have ever imagined.

                    Any GTA game, Red Dead Redemption, Saints Row 1 and 2, Deus Ex, and I'm pretty sure Battlefield 3 will too.

                      Deus Ex and Arkham City are the only two recent ones for me.

                        Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

                        Read about it in Nintendo Power; they really hyped the game up. I saved my money and it was the first SNES game I bought for myself. It's still my favorite to this day, too.

                        Final Fantasy VII

                        The hype surrounding FF VII was enormous. I still remember seeing all the shots in magazines and what have you. Got it when it came out and hot damn - one of the best games I've played to this day.

                              Deus Ex for me. I think I am a lot like goh. I just don't get impressed easily by games now days. But Deus Ex was phenomenal. One of the first games I have finished in a long time.

                              Another one would be FIFA 12. Not a soccer fan, but this game really pulled me in. I only rented it, but I am gonna snag it when the price drops.

                              I have high expectation for BF3, WWE'12 and Skyrim. So we will see if they live up to the hype.
