Lol this is mostly due to my laziness, but it was Army of Two. I never even got it out of the case.

Rainbow Six: Vegas. That thing was terrible. Played it for about an hour then opted to sleep instead.
OH i forgot about Driver.. That's one that i actually picked up at a Toys'R'Us "Buy 1 game, get 2 for a penny" sales... Driver was one i got for a penny, and that's about how much worth i got out of it.metalmmaniac said:
Same issue.
I rented Harvey Birdman for the PSP, and beat it within 24 hours (without even dedicating myself to playing it), but kept it for a few days before mailing it back.
For shortest rental?
Far Cry 2. Put it in my 360, and it was in the mailbox within 2 hours. Horrible game, imo.

Max Payne. For like 5 minutes.
I was a kid and I was used to violence (in games) but in the beginning of the game when he found his family murdered and he got to the baby's room...that's when I immediately returned it back to the store. I just had a problem with dead babies, especially when their blood is smeared all over the walls and it plays a creepy lullaby...sick bastards.
Years later I finally beat the game without a problem though.

None taken. I didn't know about the heavy use of the sixaxis in this game - I hadn't checked the back of the box. Had I done so, I would have steered clear... in my opinion the sixaxis is about as much use as cannonballing a bottle of bourbon to enhance your thinking capabilities.THEMILKMAN said:
I just love dragons, and I thought this game might be fun, so I rented it.
I liked Haze... :'(knight of some random number said:
It was overhyped, but it wasn't THAT bad...
For me it was Mirror's Edge. Hired it for 3 days, finished it in 2.5 hours.
To each his own opinion, I guess. Also your right about the mirrors edge game. "I paid 40 quid for the game. Which I finshed in less than a hour"Daedalus1942 said:
That's why I rent/posed the question.crazeecurt said:
As I mentioned earlier, I started renting after buying No More Heroes. Normally I don't take review/scores seriously but every critic (even Yhatzee) was saying it's amazing. I only found it amazingly tedious and vowed to never buy another game without first trying it. Other overhyped fair has cemented my dedication to renting first.
And please nobody respond with "No More Heroes Rox!" I can understand the wide personal appeal to it (especially to the gnerds who get hired to make game reviews) but it was (in a technical sense) a very poorly crafted game. It's not bad that people liked it, it's bad that people said it was good. I like Mystery Men but I know/admit it's a bad movie.
Sorry for the tangent but the same can be applied to the Haze debate above.
It has to be said that the sixaxis is one of the worst implemented ideas ever ,i remember playing heavenly sword and being unable to beat a a sixaxis heavy sniping session until i realized you just use the analogue stick ,which was far less likely to fly wide of your taget at the slightest hint of movementSonicron said:
I rented X-blades, played it for 10 mins and then went straight back to blockbuster.
Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden did it soooooooo much better.
