Only one I can think of was a few weeks ago. I went to Gamecrazy to buy Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, they didn't have it. So I bought Borderlands used for 45$. I had no intention of ever buying it either, I just saw it and bought.

Oh, I didn't regret it. I still want Ratchet and Clank though...

Plenty. Especially when I was younger.

I would see something and the back of the box would look cool and I would buy it. Worked out great 90% of the time, but I bought these in the 90s and early 00s, so that's probably why.

The last impulse buy I made was King's Bounty, and it was pretty awesome.

My friends harass me because I work for my dad and make decent money... I normally have bit of loose change but I hate spending it. Although once in a while I will give in and buy a game on a whim... also Black Friday shopping tends to bring out the worst in me.

This year I got 4 games for 100 bucks.

Only every time Steam has a sale on anything, ever.

I got STALKER : Clear Sky, which I never played, and the entire Hitman series, which I found out I have a horrible dislike of.

Talk about buyers remorse.

The last game I bought on impulse was Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica. Best impulse buy of the year. :) The same can't be said for Samurai Legend Musashi though. :(

I bought L4D after watching 28 Days Later.

I often do that, I get into something and buy games associated with that.
I did the same thing. After watching LOtR trilogy I bought LOtR conquest. I personally enojoyed it.

Risen. Only impulse purchase ive ever done, never heard of it before.

I sold it two days later, pissed off with myself for throwing away money like that.

Brutal Legend. I was picking up my copy of uncharted 2 and I saw that brutal legend had come out on the same day, so my inner metalhead got the best of me. It was an awesome fucking game though. I was honestly expecting myself to regret buying it but it turned out to be one of the better games this year.

No. I carefully research my games before I buy them. Impulse buys are the work of the devil!
And that's how I ended up with a $5 copy of demigod....I'm sure I'll play it someday :S

I bought Bioshock on impulse - it was only 13 dollars and the kickarse guy at the store just let me give him a ten. I had seen the commercials for it and thought it looked really cool, but never really got the opportunity to buy it (aka: I was a dumbass). Turned out to be one of the greatest games I've ever played, and the plot twist was absolutely fantastic, or at least it would have been had my friend not told me.

I plan on buying things and hype them up in my head, later getting a bit of disappointment at the results...

I've purchased quite a few games on impulse. On rare occasions I find a gem. Most of the time I am somewhat less satisfied.
