Ever watched a video game trailer and thought "man that looks stupid" only to find yourself wasting twenty hours running around doing nothing inside that very game? Greg has, and this week he's going to break down ten of the games that surprised him the most.

Shack Staff stories are a collective effort with multiple staff members contributing. Many of our lists often involve entires from several editors, and our weekly Shack Chat is something we all contribute to as a group.

      When are you going to admit to deliberately shunning Tron 2.0 for no apparent reason?

        Pretty sure that's just building into the, sadly, oft forgotten legacy of Monolith and Tron (not to be confused with Tron Legacy).

      Transformers: War for Cybertron was another suprisingly good game, as every previous TF game before it was utter shit.

      Speaking of Wolverine, X-Men Origins: Wolverine was also surprisingly solid.
