There are some games that you expect them to be just plain piece of sh*t, and they turn out good, or excellent. These games are usually sequels to bad games, or those are movie games. Anyways, I'm gonna list some games that I expected to be bad, but liked them:

-G-Force (It's a movie game with gophers flying on mosquitoes and hacking PC-s. What could you possibly expect? Well, the game is fine.)

-Phantasy Star Universe (I didn't even know what is this game. Had 60$ for a XBOX 360 game, and I saw this at a store shelve, it looked cool, and I bought it. Damn, I still play it today.

-Ninja Blade (Where the hell did this come from?)

Another one for me was Warcraft 3 like all of you guys said, i had my old PC and Downloaded WC2 then i saw how gory were the unit deaths and thought it would be the goriest strategy game ever in 3D like WC2, but i changed my mind even at the 1st stage of the tutorial! :D

Minesweeper. I was forced to have it when the Computer was bought, but it turned out pretty well... I could even play it when I have nothing better to do:)

I never buy games that I doubt will be entertaining, thus I'm never positively surprised.

Oh, and one note on the WC3 expectations after the demo - the demo is the sole reason I bought WC3, because the demo was absolutely excellent.
