It's a tie between Devil May Cry 4 which replaced DMC3's cool and fun with stupidity and repetition, respectively; playing the first half of the game backwards was criminally uninteresting and it just didn't go anywhere (what really stings is that I bought the collector's edition for an additional ten dollars because I was a huge fan of the series, which means I paid more than full price). The other one is [Prototype] which, in addition to being unimmersive to the point that I felt like I was watching someone else play, was also host to some of the most unfair and cheap enemies I've ever faced (I just stopped playing entirely when I had to face two hunter primes at once, and haven't touched it since).
That game taught me the valuable lesson try before you buy. That was the last game I bought at full price without having seen the game first, and only having read that it was good.
Maybe I'm stomping on your nostalgia with that one, but man I disliked that game.
Worst game i bought at full price was Wolverines Revenge 
I was like 12 or something though!

Ditto. PC servers are just horrendous. I blow the recommended specs out of the water and it is still choppy.AlternatePFG said:
I rarely buy games as soon as they're released unless I'm sure as hell I'm going to like them. This usually only applies to sequels of other games I loved.
But, I've been trying to force myself into the stealth game genre for ages and I just couldn't seem to like any I played. I tried every MGS game except 4, I tried Thief, Hitman, etc. I just didn't like them.
Then Splinter Cell: Conviction came out and I read a few reviews. They all said it was a great game with a unique take on stealth, wherein the game would reward me for patiently slipping by enemies, setting up careful traps etc, but where it would almost always be possible to shoot my way out if caught. I thought this would be a great place to start, so I went to the store and put down full price for it.
Turns out I was right: it was a great place to start. I loved the game, I enjoyed the plot and had fun experimenting with various stealth techniques. But the single player was just over too soon, and still managed to repeat itself a bit. The multiplayer wasn't much good, and it died off very quickly. All in all, I wouldn't have regretted buying it at all if I'd paid $30 or less for it, but at $60 I was quite disappointed.

Final Fantasy XIII.
Makes things worse when you find it in bargain bins just a few months later.

Fallout 3. I sincerely tried to complete it. But between the bad writing, the broken quests, and the increasingly lengthening loading-times.. until the gamesave became corrupt, and I had to restart again..
I watched the ending on youtube, nodded in confirmation, and never played it again.

I never buy them at full price. I always get them on sale. My best friend did by me Brotherhood at full price, (I wouldn't have...I got a TON of gameplay from it, but the story and new info wasn't worth THAT price) for Christmas.
