I got LA Noire, and I haven't beaten it. I got it a long time ago, but I didn't beat it, so I'm dissapointed. It wasn't what I thought.

Besides that. I was kind of dissapointed with Dark Souls, not as good as Demons Souls and I still need to beat it.

Most of what I've actually bought I've enjoyed. And even the games of less greatness like Medal of Honor weren't a disappointment considering the good price I got it for. I've been kind of disappointed with my purchase, or pre-order rather, with Call of Duty Black Ops and Battlefield 3. It's mainly due to my decline in interest for online multiplayer FPS, and I gave up on BF3 much quicker than with Black Ops.

Aaaah. I will answer your question, ps3gameplayer. :P Best PS3 Purchases for the money spent (I've only had my PS3 for a year, though): Dark Souls Heavy Rain Little Big Planet Enslaved: Odyssey to the West So yeah, nothing really original. Worst: Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One X-Men Destiny Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 (I got it really cheap, and figured "Hey, any game is worth this little." I was incorrect.)

There are far too many games to list for best purchases.

For worst purchases though:

  1. Shift 2 Unleashed
  2. Haze
  3. Siren Blood Curse
  4. Shellshock 2: Blood Trails
  5. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
  6. Turok

Best: GTAIV.

Worst: '09 The Show. Only because I lost interest in it for now, it is a great game.

I have no regrets with any of the 26 titles spanning 3 consoles. I only buy the games I know I will like so there is no disappointment.

Worst would be the first set of games I bought with my first PS3. Burnout Paradise, Warhawk, and Assassin's Creed sucked ass.

I don't really have any bad purchases. I do a lot of question asking before I buy a game and I look at some reviews too. If I'm not sold on a game, I have just rented it. Especially the games that I can beat in 1 week or less. For example, I rented Uncharted 3, every Assasin's Creed game, and some others. The first 2 Uncharted's I bought...but then I realized that after I beat them I never touched them again. That's why I only rented U3. Also a lot of my games that I get are just from trading in other games. Black Ops was a disappointment, and I paid full price for that.....but I did get my money's worth of playing time with it. I could only play it with friends, and it got really boring. MW3 I traded games in for it, and I only got to LVL35 before getting bored with it. A lot of the maps feel the same. I would seriously rather be playing a re-release of MW2. That's the only CoD that I've really put tons of hours into.

Skyrim.

I don't know why i didn't listen to the internet. I did the research because i was so excited to get it, but finding out it had major problems, I went ahead and got it anyway.Once i started seeing the signs i went ahead and beat Skulldafn and got rid of it.K-mart actually decided to be cool and let me return it opened, after a brief explaination to the manager of why a brand new copy would not remedy the problem. That's the worst purchase in video games I've made in quite some time. Maybe since Final Fantasy XIII. I love the Fallout series, i pray nothing this momentous ever happens with Fallout.
