I was wondering what people think has been their worst video game purchase. Mine has to be Damnation. Normally I look at reviews before shelling out money for a new game but I saw it, saw that it was steampunk and went right out and bought it as soon as it was out. And it was rubbish. And they knew it when I went to trade it in. So I didn't get much. Never again will I not check reviews.
So what's been your worst purchase?

I enjoyed Darksiders, although it wasn't as good as God of War. And Bayonetta? That was supposed to be quite good by all accounts.

Seven Kingdoms Conquest, definitely.
Horrible, terrible, horriterribad game.
Call of Duty: Black Ops was also a bad purchase. I had some mindles fun with ti but it wasn't worth the 60 bucks I paid for it at the time and I wish I hadn't, same with BFBC2 really.

Most disapointing games were Spore and Brink.

I've given up on buying CoD. I rent them and then buy them when they're dirt cheap. As for Spore, I have to agree. So much potential but so dumbed down!

Spore.; massively hyped yet I have played deeper android games. Horrible DRM as well.
I tend to research the games that I buy though so on the whole I avoid excessively poor games.

The prefect example of someone missing the point.
Do not underestimate the Squats. They survived for millenia cut off from the Imperium and assailed on all sides. Their determination and resilience is an example to us all.

The gameplay wasn't the problem, Bayonetta herself was offputting. The whole "You want to touch me?" while her legs were wide open was just plain wierd......

I rather enjoyed Rage, even though the ending was crap... though, tbh I enjoy Borderlands a million times more.
Some games I really regret:
Duke Nukem Forever
Lost Planet 2
Army of 2: 40th Day (which really sucks, because I really liked the first title in the series)
Kane & Lynch 2
Eat Lead: The Return of Mat Hazard (this one was so bad, that I had to dig through the gamestop website for the name, i had purged it from memory... I thought it was so bad, that I could barely get through the tutorial)
