Never pre-ordered anything, but I considered ordering Golden Sun DS.

I believe I made the right choice in backing down at the last moment.

Brink, biggest mistake i made since 'Wild 9' on the Psone and the only time since then i've let hype lead me astray. Seriously 30 seconds of gameplay was enough to see just that 'seamlessly blended single and multiplayer' really meant 'multiplayer missions with bots with a singleplayer logo stamped on it'

At least i got a trade in on it and only lost £10

Call Of Duty 3, Yeah, I hated that thing, what they did to the controls and the damage ratios and the weapons and the stupid smoke that didn't cover shite, Don't get me wrong, probably a good shooter, if I hadn't just finished playing CoD2: Big Red One, which remains my favourite game in the series.

Not to hop on the bandwagon or anything, but I have to agree on FF13.
And I see it all the way through though. Just to see if it would pick up.
and it didn't. It was moderately entertaining at best, but that's just deadly for an FF game.
Same here. I didn't pre-order it, but I did pay full price and bought it soon after release. I am not cheap or anything, but there are only a couple of games I have ever paid the full price for. And this is one sad example.

I really hope that your wrong, because this is the first game I've looked forward to in a long time.
The driving is crap. The cars all feel the same. The only good thing is the interogations ans those can be blasted with the fact that they LITERALLY give you points that reveal the answer. Its only redeeming feature is the one they keep harping on about. Everything else is total ass. You have unlimited ammo, the shooting feels unecesarry and WAY to easy. Think red dead redemption if all the enemies couldnt hit you. Did I mention the driving sucks? well its worth repeating. the facial animations are great. but hoo fucking ray thats all. Literally at the end of EVERY case you need to chase down the suspect. Usually on foot. Which is a fucking JOKE.

I dont care if I get suspended for this post. Dont buy this shit game. Save your money.

Yea the reboot was dogballs while the remake was the dog's balloks.

Mine is Fallout New Vegas: had I known it would?ve been broken, I would?ve waited the 6 months for them to fix it then buy it for $20.
Reserved it because Fallout 3 is my favorite for this gen and the pre-order bonus items were cool... They were actually the least disappointing thing about that preorder.
Mind you, I only pre-ordered that and Just Cause 2 last year, and nothing the year before that.

I rarely buy full priced games anymore..

Age of Conan is one I pre-ordered, back when I had money. Played for a month, got billed for two, never reinstalled.

You know, I've never reserved a game I didn't like, but on the scale of least good I'd probably say Fable III, but I still love that game.

Final Fantasy 13 for sure. I don't even reserve all that often (more now-a-days for bonus stuff), but FF13 is hands down the worst game I've ever reserved.

Meh, it has problems, but its not THAT bad.

I think you're being too harsh on it.

Fable 3.
Peter Molyneux is now proved to be one of the biggest liars in game development history. He shamelessly made up most of what he said would be on it. The game was a waste of money for me. And a waste of excitement. I thought it was going to be some holy grail game that I'd never ever get bored of, it turned out to be exactly the same as Fable 2 except worse.

I suppose you are right the IGN review is surprisingly accurate

I think you're being too harsh on it.

Vampire Rain. I pre-ordered it after reading the back of the promo cover, not knowing that I'd be using all of that high tech anti-vampire gear to shoot locks off doors and sneak past dozens of vampires that could kill me in three seconds flat (three and a half if they were on the other end of the area).
