Just about every modern FPS. I've learned after 3 purchases (Killzone 2, MW, Halo 3) that these games are never purchase worthy, regardless of how good they are. They are all rentals, since I'm capable of extracting every bit of enjoyment I'll ever get out of them in 7 days anyway. No point shelling out $70 when $7 can do the same.

Only one exception so far in the last 5 years or so; MAG.

Medal of Honor: Afghanistanamation. Worst 60 dollars ev........ actually no. After three days, I traded it in for Saints Row 2, Dragon Age: Origins, and 20 bucks. I think in hindsight, that purchase led to much win.

Sniper ghost warrior.. *Shivers and cries*

I know how it feels Roofstone. I to once bought that abomination, altough i got more than 50% of my money back when i traded it in at Gamestop.

With major lead - L4D1.

Payed full price after reading interviews with developers and how they are gonna support the game. My last game from Vulva for sure, because i don't take lies as likely as other people do.

 

[Flames66]

GTA4. It was brown, uninteresting, ran like shit, had useless controls and installed games for windows live without my permission. Worst £4 I ever spent.

Halo reach is above all. both modern warfares and turok.

DUDE! i preordered two worlds. nuff said.

 

[The Chad]

Fable 2, Mercenaries 2, Half-Life 2 (for xbox original), Counterstrike (for xbox original), Quake 4, Tony Hawk's Project 8, Timeshift, Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires, Rainbow Six Vegas 2. to name but a few

I have shitty luck when it comes to buying random games in a bargain bin so I just stopped and now do shitloads of research before buying a game.

For me, Folklore.
WAY too much grinding.

 

[Jacob Haggarty]

Probably HL2... that was pants

or mirrors edge, pretty and quite cool when it worked... which was fairly rare.

OOOH, and saboteur... that shit was... shit.

FF13, 4 or 5 honest reviews out of like 40 near perfect scores on metacritic. I didn't think it was possible to be any less involved with a game. It was like they let the artists have a ball for 8 years and then hoped the story would write itself.

 

[Autofaux]

Resistance 2.

 

[Xelien]

Not so much a game, but I regret buying a Wii. It's not I don't find any of the games fun, but I only play games on it with a group of friends and it's usually not even my own Wii that we're using. :/

 

[DrEmo]

Halo 3: ODST. To think I could've saved my money for Bad Company 2...

 

[Ralen-Sharr]

Supreme Commander 2 - horrible and I'm glad I only paid 5$ for it. The first was much, much better.

 

[JaysonM]

Fable 2... saw it on the cheap shelf, played it for 5 minutes, and then realized why it was on the cheap shelf..

 

[cynicalsaint1]

Fallout 3. I know most people think its a great game, I knew it probably wasn't going to be for me, but I bought it based on the hype anyways, got bored with it way early into the game, never picked it up again.

Not saying its a bad game, just that I have yet to really get into one of Betheseda's games, had no good reason to believe I would this time, but I bought it anyways.

 

[Phoenix09215]

assassins creed 1 and 2

 

[Spookimitsu]

MAG, Fable 2, Heavy Rain, MW2 (should've stuck with MW1 until BlackOps), NeoGeo Battle Coliseum, Guitar Hero's 1 & 2 (effing awesome games, but I shoulda just waited until RB3)
