Mine was Haze, I didn't think the demo was that bad and was prepared to try the game out, it still looked cool and I had wanted to play it for ages. I bought it and I tried to like it, I tried really but in the end I couldn't help but hate it.

I have to say.. mine has to be Okami on the Wii. The beginning got me really hyped for the game, but nearlly three hours in and it is a bore-fest. I was hoping for a Zelda-esque experience, but haven't seen it at all so far. And on a tangent, the IGN on the boxart is extremely obvious. I could barely see it in pictures, but wow is it obvious on the box!

What about you people?

You have to give Okami longer than three hours, trust me. Back when I started playing it I really didn't like it for like the first 6 or 8 hours, but once you really get into it it'll have you hooked.It's an amazing game, easily comparable to the Zelda titles IMO.

Anyway, back on topic, I'd have to say my most disappointing purchase of this generation would be... I don't know actually it's tough because I'vebeen more careful with my purchases this gen. My friend, on the other hand, made the grave mistake of buying My Sims on Wii.... silly fool! I sat there for all of 20 minutes watching it and I'd had enough.

The Wii, as a whole, was a disappointing game purchase. I wish i'd never bothered.

On the 360, i'm a huge perfect dark fan, so PDZ was like getting kicked in the crotch repeatedly from level to level.

On the PS3, Resistance. It seems to be heralded as an awesome game, yet i found it to be incredibly run of the mill.

On PC.... i dont think i've bought a disappointing game yet this year.

Dragonball Z: Burst Limit. They skipped the majority of the fights in DBZ and then didn't even bother to do the Buu saga at all.

Most disappointing game purchase this gen for me would be Harry Potter: OotP. I was hoping it was going to improve the series and also being the best HP game with the sandbox type gameplay, but boy was I wrong.

I agree with you. I couldn't get into Okami. Too much reading and slow gameplay. I was really hoping for something special.

Playstation 3 Computer Entertainment System.

The graphics are bad, the games are worse.

I can sniff something... oh a fanboy... and a bad one...

Oblivion was very disappointing after playing Morrowind (I played Oblivion then morrowind, and I though Oblivion was good, but not for long lol)

Mass Effect. It was ok for an hour but after that it was so bad that I returned it. The endless frame-rate issues, constant menu navigation and confusing story just ruined any possible enjoyment for me.

Easy...Haze. I still feel dirty for having bought that game. So much hype for a second rate shooter.

Forza 2. Even when you're in a supercar pushing 200mph, it still feels like you're going 10 miles per hour. Add onto that the fact that there are very few tracks and you get a really boring game.

Blue Dragon was also awful, but then we all know that.

Rockstar's Table Tennis. I never got into it at all. Wasn't that I was bad, I just didn't have any fun.

Thankfully, that one set me back only $15.

not so much a game purchase as a game machine purchase. the wii was the most dissapointing thing i bought this generation. the motion controls were neat and everything, just the severe lack of quality games really hurt it for me

Pokemon Battle Revolution, my god, what an awful game - then they kick you while you down by removing the only half-decent part of the entire series - the minigames.

Devil May Cry 4. I thought that I better give a DMC game a shot since I read such great things about the franchise. It was so horrible. I don't know if I've ever played a game in the last few years that is THIS linear and had this many invisible walls. The music, voice acting, Nero's "holier than thou, I think I'm such a badass" attitude made me cringe.

BioShock PC Collector's Edition. Easily the most regretful $80 I have or will ever spend in my life. I don't get the game I was promised AND I wasted tons of money on it.

Sonic and the Secret Rings and Crackdown

Even though I did have fun with the mini games on Sonic. Just the main game sucked worse that I had hoped.

Mario Kart Wii. I wish I could get my money back on this game. I despise it now. Not only am I laying off the series, but I've sworn off all Mario sport spinoff games.

I haven't regretted any pc games I bought thus far for this generation so I'm pleased as punch however my Wii is getting a couple evil eyes. 1) Zelda TP: The end of that game sucked. The story sucked, the dungeons sucked, and the bosses sucked. I had to drag myself kicking and screaming to the end. 2) Medal of Honor Heroes: 2 I hate this game I really do. 3) Glory Days 2 for the amount of reviewer love chowder this game gets it's really no better than 7.0 It's not choplifter enough to be action packed, but it not tactical enough to be truly engaging.

I don't know if can call these two let down:

Guitar Hero 3 - People think this is fun?
Ninja Gaiden Sigma - Why so hard? :P

But if I had to pick a game from this gen, it would have to be Assassin's Creed. Seriously, WHERE IS THE STEALTH!?

Bioshock. From all the OMG GOTY reviews it got, it was disgustingly overrated. I mean sure storywise it was pretty good, but the gameplay was way shallower than advertised and it had it's share of annoying bugs.

Assasins Creed or blacksite, both where pretty much garbage imo (AC a 9??? and games like Lost Odyssey, Ratchet and Clank and Too Human get much lower?? gimme a break).

Only bad pc game ive bought in along time was Manhunt, which i never got to play much of.
