Mine, without a doubt, was Alone in the Dark for the 360. I kept hearing it was horrible, and the constant price drops reinforced it. Still, at $5 brand new, I could not resist. I reasoned that it could not possibly be a waste a $5. Well, long story short, I would have been better off buying a foot-long sub for said $5. There is a special, I am a complete dumb****, feeling you get when a game you know is bad turns out to be, surprise, bad, yet you bought it anyways.

I have to disagree. Alone in the dark may not have been anything special but in the end imo it was decent and you can do far worse. Also i dont play games that i know are going to be bad so i cant really offer up one of my own.

Halo: Reach. In my defense, I played it at a friend's house, and thought it was horrible. I later got it as a gift per say, and I still think it's bad.

Yeah, this one too. Again, it was only $10, but I still couldnt make myself play more than a hour. Maybe if I had not played Oblivion before it, but still, probably not.

Either Two Worlds, Enchanted Arms, or Final Fantasy XIII... FFXIII probably hurt the most because I ignored all the rage from fans, bought it, loved the first half and then HATED everything after Chapter 10... so yeah.... that one stung...

Two Worlds. I also couldn't say no to $5 Two Worlds. If the visuals weren't so broken, it might have been better.

Enchanted Arms.

my friend who loves JRPG's hated it so much, he just gave it to me. I don't really care for the genre, but I'll still play one if im really really bored of everything else.

nope, not that one. after 10 minutes of hearing that one character go "OHHHHH TORAH!!" over and over again I was ready to dispose of the game with a shotgun. I restrained, and traded it the next day lol

Deadly Premonition. I'd heard some terrible things about its controls, its dated graphics etc, but I'd also heard some positive things about its story and its general b-movie, arcadey feel. I'm a big survival-horror fan so I thought what the hell, I'll go for it. It's cheap, how bad can it be?

Yes, I'm that dedicated to looking cool that I lie about the games I like. I'm fully dedicated to the lie. So dedicated that I didn't buy Black Ops, even though I secretly love the Call of Duty games. Seriously though, people have different taste. I hated MW2 with a passion. I returned it a few days after buying it. MW2 was so bad, it kinda ruined my enjoyment of the whole FPS genre. I've hardly played any FPS's since I finished MW2. I have to force myself to play them now. Thanks MW2. I like a whole genre a lot less because of you. Damn, you sucked so bad. I know a lot of people like them, but that isn't the case for everyone. And I'm sure there's worse games out there than MW2, I just haven't played them.

Do you honestly think everyone loves pile of duty? Just because he said it was his choice of worse game doesn't mean he's jumped on the hate bandwagon. You have to admit MW2 wasn't the best game.

I went for Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard thinking it would suck... and it did, but not as much as I thought it would. The game is like one of those scary movies that are so bad they actually are fun to watch.

Then there's Black Ops. I've never been a fan of Call of Duty but I wanted to see what all the fuzz was about, so I rented it (for free). I have to admit, it had its moments, but the level design was so poor it took my frustration to new levels. The campaign was uninteresting, the story telling was pathetic, and it just felt, for the most part, boring. I also have to admit I did not try the online, which is its main selling point. On a more positive note, I played Zork for hours, awesome game.

I would put Two Worlds as well, but I actually was hoping to find a good experience there, it just never happened.

DOA: Xtreme 2. Could it be the Sweet 16 song by Hillary Duff that continually plays in the backround or how dirty an wrong I felt after playing it for an hour? I dunno, I'm not a doctor. All I knew is this was so wrong, so very wrong. Glad I only borrowed it.

Bionic Commando. Once I saw how Spencer looked (with the dreadlocks), I knew the game was going to be bad. I loved BC on NES and Rearmed was amazing, but Bionic Commando on Xbox 360 was atrocious. The story was extremely weak and did not make sense and multiplayer was unnecessary. I knew it wasn't going to be great, but I didn't realize it was going to be THAT bad. It was an insult to Bionic Commando fans.

Never made it past the first 2 minutes, bought purely for the points, it was listed for sale on Ebay before I'd even received it... for me though the winner had to be "Golden Compass" another purely points based purchase.

Mine, without a doubt, was Alone in the Dark for the 360.ZeroChance79

Perhaps it's worse on the 360 than it was on the PC, but I didn't think it was all that bad.
If they had figured out the awkward controls and cut out some of the pointless collection quests, I think it would have been a pretty big success. At least it did the 'survival' part of survival horror better than many other games this gen.

And as for the people saying Deadly Premonition, how far did you get into the game? Because I'll admit that it's crap until the end of the logging section (hilariously so), but after slogging through that it quickly became one of my favourite games on the console.

Anyway, as for my answer...hm...I found Infinie Undiscovery to be pretty much unplayable, even though I bought it as a joke. Sure, I played it after an all-nighter, but I couldn't see anything appealing about it at all.
