Bioshock.

I really, really wish I did not spend $60 in that game.
Same here, though it was worth it for me since I found it for five dollars. Would it really have killed them to give me enough ammo so I didn't have to, literally, beat an elite bouncer to death with a wrench since I had no ammo whatsoerver (I died alot if you're wondering how I did it)? This wouldn't have bothered me though if plasmids were even slightly useful. I can't believe there was a civil war over those useless things. I'm sorry, all you fans of the game, but when you get past the story and scenery, the game was poorly designed at best, and I don't think bad mechanics should get a free ride just because the story was nice.

My thoughts exactly.

That one part of the game, where you lose all your weapons and have to use plasmids only. That was one of the worst levels in any game I've played.

u racist bastard. OT: Charlie and the chocolate factory NOT WORTH $40!! And on top of that my parents wouldn't give me it until I read at least 10 more books!
1. You need to look up the word racist, because it doesn't mean what you think it means.
2. You actually wanted Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
3. What, mommy and daddy don't love you enough to buy you a crappy game?

Get a dictionary, get some taste, and get a job.

I watched the Context Sensitive review of that once.

I was never the same after seeing the gameplay.
It beats all the other games here by being rubbish and about 40 minutes long.

World of Warcraft.

Because it consumes and destroys free time like I consume Cheeseburgers... And I love me some cheeseburgers. Because if you want to have the best stuff you have to spend hours and hours grinding yourself silly to the point where the game isn't even fun any more and you find yourself doing it more out of habit than anything else. What makes it worse is the fact that if you want to continue playing, you have to keep forking over your hard-earned cash to Blizzard. And if that wasn't enough, every so often (If the trend is to be believed thus far, about once a year or so) Blizzard will release an expansion pack in an appallingly whoreish attempt to create more money out of less value. They will ask around $50 for it and not even give you a free month of playtime for your contribution to their gigantic pile of money.

I have never had a game, at least from my standpoint, devalue as quickly as WoW. Portal was 2 hours long, and when I got to the end of it I found myself asking if that was it, but I still feel that Valve wasn't picking my pocket. Even though they were just bits of code they had laying around the office, they did manage to keep me VERY entertained for those 2 hours. WoW started off being fun, but that died at about level 15 where I realized that it was an MMO and that I wasn't going to get very far on my own and every one around me was a complete twat.

It's been said (mostly by me, in overly loud tones to anyone who will listen) that an MMO is only as good as it's player base. I am not going to pay $15 a month plus $50 once a year to have a 12 year old kid from East Bumblefuck, Wyoming tell me what a noob I am and then proceed to go on an hour long tear of Chuck Norris jokes. And if that is your idea of fun, then I would suggest going to seek professional help. I hear Dr. Jack Kevorkian can do wonders for problems like that.

Any FPS. A shallow game mechanic repeated for ten hours in single player, and tens of hours online? No thanks, not for $80.

I mean, except for Zelda
I agree heartily!
But other than that:
Modern -Fucking- Warfare 2
I played MW2 yesterday.

It was poor. Oh well! back to tf2!

Edit: Gah. Forgotten the on topic.

Bioshock wasn't worth it's weight in gold. Oblivion was, though.

Its kind of ironic that your Avatar is of the Darkness; an FPS
Also: ODST to short, too easy, too much money.

You're right, except I bought The Darkness for $7, perfect price for a great game that doesn't overstay its welcome.

Any game at just released, brand new price.

I usually wait for them to hit the bargain bin.

Fallout 3. Although I got it used, it was NOT worth the $40 I paid for it. Walking around for 4 hours just to die from lack of ammo? No thanks.

Mirrors Edge, I spent £35 on it :(

But in all fairness I traded it with my mate for Assassins Creed (the first one) which was immensely ossum

Understandable...
