Absolutely not! It would completely suck if games exposed everything to the player. The players that explore more than others need to be rewarded.
Gamers are not equal, let games demonstrate it.

Pray to the Random Number God. The Space ponies are found randomly when exploring a planet. About the only way you can come across them is to continue playing.

Despite how I believe how depthless i believe the halo games are, especially Halo 3, that's where one of my favorite secrets is. It's the conversation between the guy locked outside and the door guard at the beginning of the second level.

Also, all the secret mystery eggs and the Ice Key from Banjo-Kazooie.

nobody mention the mods in halo 3 :S... im the only one? the no suit and the giant mode... no one? :S

Last secret I remember discovering for myself was In Deus EX: Invisible War on xbox. The bit where you use the toilet and end up at a party. Those things usually happen the other way round!

I don't think those would count as secrets... they are just well... Mods you add to the game. Secrets are something you more or less stumble upon

actually they dont exist i was just fooling around and trying to see if someone said "yeaahh i had those two" XD

Hitting all Kerotan frogs in MGS3 and finally snagging the stealth camo. The best is of course when you have to hit the frog on top of the sign on the runway from the back of a moving Jeep about 100yds out. You can't even really see the frog without the sniper scope, and you can only barely hear the "waddle-waddle" sound that meant you'd hit it.

Spierek:
The moment, when I found a secret room in factory in Rayman 3. Full of frozen RoboPirates (from Rayman 2 ;) ).

Yeah that was awesome.

Also, in fur fighters, when I found the hidden dinosaur world ("world" meaning a hub with 3 levels and a boss battle). There are only five worlds in the game and it was incredible to find that world inside another level I was playing. You find it by making a machine drill a hole into the ground and then go in a crack it made in the ground. What was more amazing was that it was that it included some of the best levels in the game, where you have to make your way around as an ant in a normal house (the dinosaurs are giant and of course apartments etc were giant too). You had to make sure not to get killed by vacum cleaners, navigate inside dishwashers etc.

The halo series had also many cool secrets, especially halo 2, but those were mostly more kind of glitches that was fun to try out.

One word...

Dopefish.

"Giant Suit" was an actual glitch in Halo 2; on one map (I'm blanking on the name; it was the one set on a moon among wreckage of the first Halo) it was possible for the collision system to push a dead body through the "world" and end up in the skybox, thus appearing huge to players until the engine removed it.

I guess the secret that blew me away the most was unlocking the story terminals in Halo 3, but since I'm a card-carrying Halo geek and those terminals answered questions I'd been asking since the first game I guess that's a personal thing.

They did? It was all just random text to me (yeah someone activated the ring because of the flood but what more did we get to know?). But that body glitch was awesome.

My top secrets are weird and cool
1.In halo 3 the monkey family with the teddy bear on the legde :D
2.In Half life 2 episode 2 i think or maybe it was half life 2 i cant remember but anyway the one where if you jump in the tunnel and dash through the poisonus glop after the chopper flight and you meet the coughing vortigaunt.... or the gnome under the cart in the one building i cant remember its near start of game i think and you have to take it to the end of the game and put it in the rocket.
3. ooh another one the one where in Elis junk yard where you first get the grav gun the old recharger plate....
4.Oh yeah i love this one when i was playing the simpsons game on the first bart man level theres a secret room with a duff cap and a ancient door and its got a skeletons arm trapped under reaching for a door. when i foung that i exclaimed:INDY!
EDIT.5 the conversation with the guys outside of door in halo 3 with the guys from RVB
6.If you stare at the big laptops in halo 3 long enough one of the pictures will flash as cortanas face it really creeped me out....... O:

When you click a coupla times on a critter in Warcraft II/III and it explodes. As soon as I discovered it I started roaming the map looking for every one I could find.

Any of X's ultimate armours
Shin Akuma
Getting stupidly overpowered weapons in chapters 3 and 4 of Valkyrie Profile 2
The extra-bounce cheat in DOA:Volleyball - Who does that? really?
Tales of Symphonia - all the costumes and joke weapons

Sometime go back and play MGS3 and at the part with Eva in the woods where she's injured shoot her with a tranq dart, you'll hear different things depending on if she's hungry or not.

Simski:
I will never forget the first time I pressed the buttons on the microwave in black mesa.

Magnusson didn't either, apparently.

Quake 2's secret grenade stash's on the first area. Ahhh, the good ol' days.

Not sure if it's too much of a secret, but i kind of enjoyed Snakes nightmare in MGS3, mostly because it just surprised the hell out of me.

I seem to remember a crazy Remedy room in Max Payne... Can't remember how to get it but it was pretty interesting...

Nothing will ever beat the dead Doom marine in Duke Nukem though... ever

Also all of Shadow's dreams in FFVI were great.... spent 4 hours trying to figure out what the hell was going on there.

Unlocking Banjo in Diddy Kong Racing by running over the frog with something special about him...Someone want to help me remember what was distinctive about that frog?

The food nipple grunt in Halo amused the crap out of me.

I also like how in WoW there are literally hundreds if not thousands of little easter eggs hidden throughout the game.

-Culex in Super Mario RPG
-The Secret Garden on top of the temple in Shadow of the Colossus
-Justin Bailey code in Metroid (if you consider that a secret)

You would be happy not knowing, so they only increase your happiness when you find them by accident.

All of the vehicles in Halo 3's last level.

Choppers carve through flood much better than that freaking warthog.

there's a chopper in the last level..?

Yup, 2 in fact and 4 ghosts and a mongoose. Depending on the difficulty level you play on it will effect the spawns.

Haha, I found a note in Oblivion about a suicidal troll, that lived under a bridge. It was poorly spelt and absolutely hilarious. I don't know if it was a secret but I laughed my arse off. The "secret" rooms in Portal are pretty sweet too..

My favourite secret to date is the dead "Doom" Marine in Duke Nukem 3D.

Wraithsight:

Also im suprised noone mentioned the "hidden" areas in Portal, where the guy there before you has done stuff like sticky tape a picture of the conpanion cube over some model's face.

he's known as the Ratman, internet speculation state he got away, and he might be Adrian Sheppard of "opposing force" fame

ASHPD < Apperture Science Handheld Portal Device, spells out his name, although any link can be found if you look hard enough at anything.

I just remembered the infinite candy cheat in the original pokemon. It also gave you the ability to catch Safari Zone pokemon with regular pokeballs

Being able to go back to Expel in Star Ocean: The Second Story was so cool, especially because of the hidden bonus dungeon.
