Hmm, let me think...

Oh yeah, Saints Row 2, Guitar Hero 5, Beowulf and Beverly Hills Cop. And Shadow of the Colossus.

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!
Jupp, I'm going with this.

I thought it would be fun considering that I loved the sands of time trilogy, but god damn was it bad. And boooooring.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
I did? Sorry, let me put them back *Glues words on your tongue* There, all better.

Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood
I bought it because of good reviews and upon playing it I immediately realized that I am fucking tired of WW2 games/films/books/stories. Except for Inglourious Basterds of course.
Also the gameplay was repetitive and shitty and the controls felt sloppy.

I always do my research before I buy games. I guess I got Project Gotham Racing 3 for free without even thinking and I have played it at most twice. It was on a buy two get one free weekend at GameStop and I had gotten two $15 games and your free game had to be cheaper so I just grabbed the first game on the shelf for under 15 dollars. I mean it was pretty fun, it's just that I don't really care for racing games that much. Doesn't make much since why I bought a racing game but still...

You're just trying to start something, aren't you?

Painkiller: Overdose - Apparently it is very hard to just copy the original and add new levels/enemies.

Necrovision - Boring and buggy as hell, Yup I liked original Painkiller this much to buy two bad games just in hopes to play something like the original again.

Alone in the Dark(2008) - I was hoping it would be as good as the old titles, but apparently ancient solid color animated pyramidocirclesquares are much more scarier and fun than this one. I never learn...

Borderlands - I have a rule to never pay any real attention to any hype and never listen to anything what developers say about their upcoming games in their preview trailers, this game reminded me why. Single player was amazingly boring, Multiplayer did last a little longer but I ended up going back to L4D/UT2004/Quake3 in less than a day or two.

Bioshock! - This one is tricky, first day I had it I was furious, it refused to activate on me because of the authentication server issues. Game itself was good, but that day I will not forget, ever.

Space Siege - This one I cannot explain, something possessed me perhaps, I just can't remember how I bought it nor can I remember a single reason why I bought it.

Neverwinter Nights 2 - Don't ask me why, I just didn't like it, I'm glad I kept it though so I could enjoy the awesome Mask of the Betrayer addon.

Yes yes yes I have.

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.
Wow, your off. D:
That was a great game. Try getting the big boss emblem if you are complaining about not being forced to use stealth. There is so much to accomplish on that game and the difficulty goes up dramatically on the hardest option. And the gameplay itself is great. If your a fan of the series then its even better. It has a great story and although it takes up a lot of time watching cutscene after cutscene, its all great and you dont have to pay any attention if you dont want to. Matter of fact im pretty sure that even the first time through you can skip all of the cutscenes. And the online wasnt bad at all.
I mean, you are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but if that was the only problem with the game, then you really missed out.

Lego Indy. And get this: I had to choose between it and Crisis Core (Egads!). :eek: Now, before I get a bunch of FF VII fanboy/girls on my case, the store clerk told me that it was well worth my time, more than CC. Thanks a lot, ya' tasteless, manipulative jerk. :mad:

Section 8. Found it massively unsatisfying.


Thankfully I got it during Toys R Us' "Buy 2 Get 1 Free Sale" so I didn't actually lose any money on it.
What was the other game though?

Star Wars: Droidworks [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Droid_Works] was an educational game I bought on impulse. I looked at it through these catalogs we received frequently in school from Scholastic/Troll called book Orders. Back then it was a status symbol to buy, and wait for the day when the teacher passes out the sweet swag so you can brag about it. I picked it and bought it solely because it was a Star Wars game and because I could afford it.

After I got past the fact that the graphics sucked even for the time, and there was no direct combat, I actually had a little fun. I actually learned some things. Then it got impossibly hard and frustrating. The droids I built ran on batteries or power sources that slowed me down. The missions got ridiculously long, and none of them had save-points and all of them had unskippable cutscenes. My droids would die out from running out of power solely on the length and I had to start all over.

i think you have to explain the SR2 hate to people, including mr. Yahtzee. SR2 was unrealistic, colorful and full of adult humor.
