90% of my wii games. Shovelware I couldn't stand one or two days after purchasing.
Coming to think of it, I have few good memories related to the wii. I won't touch the wii-U, that's for sure.

Exceptions: zelda, mario kart, no more heroes, house of the dead: overkill... guess that's that.

American McGee's Alice - It's way too difficult for me. It makes me frustrated rather than happy. Besides, fans of this particular Alice like to trash Tim Burton's Alice movie, which I loved so much that it was the reason I decided to get the American McGee games in the first place. Confused

Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition

Not only did they ruin the series for me but bioware's behavior toward the community guaranteed I would never buy another of their products again. David Gaider sucks too and I hope Dragon Age 3 is a disaster.

Skyrim - Got sooo boring found the journey between places dull and unbearable, scenery felt too copy paste tho nice at first, the caves all looked like they'd been mass produced and botched together by the crappy-cave-company's oldest machine, they didn't feel claustrophobic enough and the texturing inside was awful. Enemies in general fought and looked as clunky as you did. Dragons became way to predictable after the 3rd one. could go on forever....

Fallout: New Vegas - Was really looking forward to this after spending stupid amounts of time on 3, got the big ass £95 (I think) preorder mega box thingy, and everything started off well did everything that needed to be done in Goodsprings had a massive detour, got owned by radscorpions and deathclaws for going the wrong way etc etc. So felt I'd do the Story quests for a bit then it hit me... Where the hell are all the enemies ?? It' seemed daft that you had to go out of your way to get even a tickle off something, except for the obvious check point of enemies on the main road which you could snipe off easy enough... Then more and more things started bugging me, the Mojave desert is boring as hell visually, yes it's a desert but still nothing to look at + no enemies... I ran through it in no time tho and returned it and got my money back. Tho it redeemed itself by releasing what I personally think is the best add on ever in the world of add ons... Old World Blues dont think I've laughed so much playing a game ever XD

I could probably write a book on poor purchases when it comes to games, especially the newer ones. Can't think of any bad SNES purchases I made when I was younger

Warhammer Online. Too much hype, not enough payoff.

THQ Pack, because I got a bunch of games with it that I never even considered playing. It was a good value but not worth the OCD I suffer from the purchase.

Duke Nukem Forever: Balls of Steel edition.
I speak as someone who waited for the game ever since it was announced well over a decade ago.

I'm starting to worry about GW2, I excitedly put down money for the awesome CE but after playing the beta so far it runs horribly and its just not as fun as Diablo 3. Granted I only saw a little bit of content and both are different games, GW2 being more like an mmo (but not in the WoW vein) and D3 is a hack'n slash.
