I really wish I hadn't bought Infinite Undiscovery. It's a couple of years now since I bought it, and I've played it for a total of about three hours. I can't bring myself to care, it's really not what I'm looking for in an RPG at the moment.
Games you wish you hadn't spent the money on

Star Wars The Force Unleashed, especially after I traded it in and got butt pumped on the price.
Tom Clancy's EndWar.
The damn voice recognition hardly ever recognised my accent lol. Though it wasn't just that, the gameplay was just simple 'rock-paper-scissors' skirmishes and I found the AI to be quite dull for the most part. The online was pretty fun, though only for a short time. It had some good reviews but for me, it was dissapointing.

Prototype. Or [PROTOTYPE] if you prefer... reasonably fun on the first playthrough apart from the mission you have to kill yourself about 3 times to complete, and no replay value whatsoever.
BattleField 1943.
Dont get me wrong, i love it. but the problem is that EA more or less killed the servers already and now everytime I try to join a game it just says "THE GAME APPEARS TO BE UNAVAILABLE, PLEASE TRY AGAIN" it does this no matter how many times I try. waste of 14.99. then the ticker tape at the main menu has the gull to ask me to vote BF1943 as DL Game of the year!..... Fuck you.

Ganes I regret spending money on:
FFX
Vagrant Story
Borderlands
Spore
Dominion: Intrigue
Bohnanza
There's probably quite a few more but I can't think of them. Now I mostly stick to steam sales for my gaming needs, as even if the game is not awesome, I only paid 5-10 dollars for it so its not a big deal.
Also I won't make the mistake of spending full price on RPGs anymore, they're very hit or miss... even when critics give them high scores

Sacred 2.
What?! you can help Hansi and the rest of Blind Guardian find their instruments, and then attend an in game concert for a song written specifically for the game, and OH they wont release it on another media form, so whoopidy do lets go buy it and see whats up????
Yea. Eff that. i bought, i found, i attended, i enjoyed. and then i cried, because NOTHING ELSE was even slightly appealing. Whats up with the NPC's of quests past continuing to follow you around, and NOT doing battle with baddies? i had literally 15 or so NPCs ranging from children to elf warriors NOT helping me survive, but insisting on standing directly on top of NPCs i DID want to talk to, and then acting like i wanted to talk to them still when id click frantically on the quest giver, or quest turner inner.
However in a very close second place, and probably likely first place, TWO WORLDS!!
I got half way through the tutorial before I returned it. Gamecube graphics? no thnak you. Horrible voice acting. meh, nah. Terrible control scheme, not so into it.
The people at game stop said that in just under two hours, theyd never seen a game returned so fast. the back of the box says for fans of oblivion. Why do they lie?!

Mirror's Edge (Just not worth the $30. Possibly if it had been $20, I'd be fine)
GTA IV
Chaos Legion PS2 (This was before I could find the DMC trilogy pack and the box proudly stated that it was like DMC, a game I wanted to play to find out what the big deal was. The cutscenes make no sense, you have to choose 2 monsters to accompany you, but you really don't have a choice because enemies are immune to all but one of your many monsters so unless you have precognition, you're going to be failing due to not knowing what enemies are on the map. The combat was the most repetitive thing around. If your monsters died you had to run around to wait for them to respawn because your sword is as weak as DMC's guns. I could go on... trust me)
CoD4: Modern Warfare (I don't get Live anymore so this basically gathers dust)
Fallout 3 (it starts out really strong, but then all sense of urgency and drive to continue your quest just dies and you get stuck with chores, like genocide of a species in a sewer, negotiations, and gathering something from a building infested with supermutants)
Several fighting games (no one else I know really likes them so I have no one else to play with)
Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy (The gameplay was average, the story got stupider, all the interesting charaters, the villains, were killed off, the final boss had a stupid plot twist that made me have to fight against someone else, I wanted to fight that guy who basically hijack all television channels to say every way he was going to kill all who stood in his path not some idiot from the first game who appeared in so many flashbacks I knew he had to make an appearance.)
Crystal Chronicles (Besides basically eating a whole memory card, all your saves were connected. That means if you want to start over from scratch, fight the first boss and get your first upgrade in the easy dungeon, sucks to be you! The story didn't even touch me, much less grab me.)
Enchanted Arms (The premise: Pokemon mixed with Final Fantasy, sort of like what Shin Megami Tensei tries sometimes. That's not the bad part. In fact, that's the one thing I like about the game. The story's standard, the voice acting's awful, the battle system isn't really unique, there is no recap nor journal so if you forget what you need to do because you took a mandatory two weeks off so that your ears could recover you were screwed, it felt like it was going through motions if not stealing from certain things. For example, It STOLE, and I rarely say that about anything, an entire city from a manga known as O-Parts Hunter or 666 Satan, down to it's description of being a desert town underneath an ancient artifact that specilizes in selling the unique ancient technology of the world because it is nearby to a dig site)
ALL ARCADE GAMES THAT I DIDN'T PLAY FOR FREE (I'm pretty sure I'd have some extra cash that could have been spent elsewhere if not for my foolish child self.
