For me, the biggest mistake of buying a game was way back in the day, where i went out to buy a sega genesis game, and it came down to 2 choices. Sonic the HedgeHog 2, or Greendog: the beached surfer dude.

i bought greendog... as soon as i got home and put in the game i realized i had made the biggest mistake maybe of any gamer ever

I had just got paid and almost with my entire check on Resident Evil Dead Aim and a madcatz blaster. I hated that game so much, but I had to spend over $100 to figure that out.

Meh I normally track the games I want and read up alot about them before I buy em so I'm never disappointed, went blindly into H3 and I stopped playing it after I beat the single player.. over 3 days. Needless to say I didn't think it was worth 500dollars... err that's $85us

Only locally, live isn't available down here without using false info and I didn't want to go through the hassle. Plus paying for online sucks.

Mass Effect (The game is not bad, probable far from it. Its just I hate listening to characters on screen talk. I like sex and explosions and I just cant take it when all I am doing is watch my character mumble stuff on screen.), and also Area 51 for the xbox (the game just plain sucked).

battalion Wars II. Game didn't appeal to me. I was looking for something new for the Wii. Bought it. Played it for a couple days. Realized I hated the fact there was NO split screen. Sold it.

Wow, I never thought I would hear someone say that. The original MGS on psx totally blew me away. The purchase that I regretted the most would have to be Aladdin for the Genesis.

Assasine Creed. man I hated this game, not because it was bad, but because it had alot of potentials. but was clearly rushed.

and I wasnt hyped about it, infact, i only heard about it 1 month before the release. also the frequent historical misinformation was annoying to me.

i bought it instead of Warhawk and the orange box

It was a gift, and i didnt want to be mean to the person. I never played the demo but i heard people in the forums sayin how bad it was. So i played it once for 15 min and now im never gonna play again. I give it a 1/10.

1 was crap, so I skipped 2. Then figured I would give it another chance with 3 just to find out that was a mistake. I have learned my lesson and will never buy another socom game.

I am dead serious, just couldn't get in to it. I played the SNES Aladdin prior to purchasing the genesis game and thought that it was much better.

I kind of have to agree with this in a way, really not with the entire 50$ I spent on it because the game doesn't really allowed itself for much replay after the first play through. Unless of course you need to see the other ending which isn't much different then eachother sense the story doesn't pull you one way or the other as you play the game. I liked the game a lot, just not 50$ liked.

So many mistakes, they all compete for poll position. But these in particular take my cake(s).

PC - UTIII. God himself hates that game. He will punish Epic for their epic failure, pun intended.

Wii - the console itself. Amazingly underwhelming.

Handhelds - all that I have ever purchased. Handhelds have got to be the biggest waste of time, ever.

Animal crossing. I love Nintendo games and I kept hearing how awesome it was so I went out and bought it, and absolutly hated it. I tried to play it four or five times and just can't stand it.

That one's pretty high for me too. I can see why some people like it, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Sold mine, put the money towards my new surround sound. That has added more to my gaming experience than me wii did in the time I had it.

I'm also in agreement. That was a pretty intense little game there. The SNES one was also fun, but totally different.

The 360 at launch. Only because I had to get a new one after only 2 hours of playing perfect dark. Then a few months later... I don't know if it was the system, or the fact that oblivion had me playing for 14 hour sessions. Either way it sucks when s--t doesn't work. I should have waited a year and bought one at Chistmas when they had deals with Gears. So far the 3rd one seems to be working fine though.

I'd have to say FEAR for the Xbox 360. That was a huge disappointment. Oh, and I loved Alladin on the Genesis even though I didn't own the system.
