The wii, and most of its games.

It can't even make my "backup" console, (it was recently my ps3, but its too expensive to get games for both 360 AND PS3, so the old Xbox is my "backup" console now, (especially as Microsoft fails at backwards compatibility)).

The only game I ever truly loved on it was Super Mario Galaxy.
Brawl was decent though!

I would sell my wii, but I will hold out, as some games might eventually come out that are great, (and as a golden rule: I NEVER SELL CONSOLES! I always regret it in the end!).

EDIT: Also Little Big Planet, which I would've played much longer if they had switches the emotions on the dpad around with the movement on the analogue stick.
(So many freakin' times I would accidentally switch layers and die due to the controls, which are soo dodgy. Don't even get me started on that fiddly level editor! >:/ )

Little Big Planet. It's a floaty, finicky platformer, and 99% of the user levels suck or are remakes of great levels from other games. Which is cute, at first, but then you realize you should just be playing the other game.

Left for Dead. It was fun for about an hour. Then it just seemed too frantic/hectic to be enjoyable. I miss you slow zombies.

Prince of Persia. Though it was about 2 hours into the game where the black goo comes in. I tried to keep on playing, but that stupid switch turning maze made me hate it. In the backlog with you, PoP!
Completely agree, it should not share the same name as the other Prince of Persia games.

Shadowrun, Naruto Rise of a Ninja, Unreal 3 (360)
Just don't play them any more.
Wait .. you are saying Shadowrun was a crap game? The one on the NES? I call B.S. on that! That game was awesome when it came out. Few games were in a cyberpunk type world, and being 8-bit it had to come up with some mechanics to make the hacking, combat, and story all mesh. Now, unless you are talking about the new one that MS put out that was an MMO? I didn't play it, but picked up the box on the store shelf to examine it a few times when it came out. But it just looked like crap, and evidently I hear it was. But also the MMO angle and MS in the same sentence made me scared, so I put it back down. So if you were talking about the new Shadowrun, sorry about chiming in there.

Quote Ghurkin:

Bought MGS4 and it was freaking awful. I played for about 2 hours without once having to use stealth, just run n gunned my way through it.

So I traded it in for £15 then saw Saints Row 2 for £15 and bought that. Another poor decision, what an absolute pile of turd that game was. I don't even need to explain why, it's just so obviously bad.

End quote (sorry it was fobar)

Um.. MGS4 was the game that made me buy my PS3, it was well worth it. THe story and single player was awesome, and the online was fun too. It is a well done game, sorry! It had some flaws as all games do, but it still plays well. And you didn't like Saints Row? I didn't buy that one, but have GTA4 and it was alright.

Maybe you would be happy with Cooking Mama instead? XD

Most definitely Red Alert 3. And on top of that, I got it for the xbox, so it was even more disappointing by a factor of almost infinity.

The Wii. It used to be fun at parties, but now everyones bored with it and it kind of just sits there collecting dust. I occasionally play brawl, Super Mario Bros.(DLC), or Mario Galaxy but thats about it.

Painkiller Ressurection. I suppose I reckoned that it wouldn't be too hard for them to make a decent painkiller game.
I wish I'd figured out that they had no clue what they were doing BEFORE handing over my money.

Silent Hill: Homecoming. I actually took it back the next day.
Brutal Legend - I love the game, but the RTS bait and switch made me rage pretty hard. That and I could have saved money by just renting it.

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I love RPGs, so I thought I would like it... but yeah, there's 20 hours of my life I'll never get back.
