    Games you regretted buying

    Come on, let's hear 'em.

    The games you regretted buying.

    Mine has to be Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising. Didn't like it at all and I didn't know it was basically just a multiplayer game!

    Let's hear 'em

    I dont regret any of my purchases, becuase I always do a bit of research into the game I buy.

    However, I was dissapointed with Max Payne 2, it was a great game, beautiful, but too short.

    I have to say that I think I'm pretty good at choosing games, I always read loads of reviews, try demos, etc before picking games. I suppose one game I didn't like was Settlers IV, but I got a refund anyway. Command and Conquer Generals is probably the closest to a bad game I've picked - it's so-so, but I prefer Red Alert 2.

    Deus Ex 2

    A huge letdown, considering the absolute genius of the original.

    Crazy Taxi or Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction.

    Crazy Taxi should stay in the arcades and Robot Wars should stay on Channel 5

    Dont really regret any of them as I collect games, even the bad ones =0

    Only ones I regretted were Deux Ex 2 and Theif 3 as both were shocking games built on a shocking engine. really let down by them as their predacessors were so good. Both went straight back to game.

    Yeah, The Sims was amusing for all of about 2 minutes.

    I used to buy games from Game and just return them under the 10 Day No Fuss policy, but they've stopped doing that now
