Bought a game for its BAD reviews?

Lost Via Domus! Waste of 35 dirhams and about as bad as the TV show it's based on. Which is quite a lot.

I already bought it ages ago. It was crap, a complete waste of my time and I wasted $15.

Witcher, because Yahtzee said it was so boring it made him do his laundry. I wanted a game I wouldn't be tempted to play except when I could afford to.

Sometimes I'll buy games that have had poor reviews despite them, not often because of them.

This. If I had passed on getting games because of bad reviews, I wouldn't have bought games that I ended up having a lot of fun with, reviews be damned.

However, I recently did consider buying Vampire Rain solely because of the bashing it was submited to, and the fact that it was really cheap, but sanity prevailed in the end.

I found Superman 64 for $2 at a used game shop. It was...interesting.

While not a purchase (good luck finding it anywhere), I did download a copy of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. Hilarity ensued for a few minutes. It's winner!

I saw that superman game on AVGN and i bought it to try it lol it was soooooooo funny XD

I bought Shaq Fu for £15 on eBay out of curiosity, played it once then put it back in the box and it hasn't been played since.
