Shadow the Hedgehog. The only game I ever bought that I regret. There are plenty of games I regret playing, but other people usually bought them, and I just went to play the game at their place.

You're trolling, right? RIGHT???

Probably not. Bioshock got overhyped to shit and back in the wake of its release. Remember, when the game came out about the only negative reveiw it got was from a PS3 fansite, that claimed that it suffered (among other (similar) things) from texture compression, which could easily be fixed when it got released to a blu-ray disk for the PS3. Now, overall it's a good game, but really? That good? No.
Sorry this quoting got a little messed up, but down to business. I'm confused by your statements. You claim it is "a good game" but then you also seem to support Archvile93 in claiming it isn't even worth $5. I would personally say these two statements are mutually exclusive.

BlazBlue Continuum Shift, the worst game for someone who has never played 2D fighting games before. Rectified the situation with Super Street Fighter IV.

God of War 3, it just paled in comparison to the first 2 games.

And my number 1 regret... Aion: Tower of Eternity, I bought it day one just to find out that my college decided to block MMO's from connecting to the internet.

The Burger King games. They can get old and boring really fast.

On the bright side they were pretty cheap.
Just wait, those should be super rare someday.

OT: Darksiders. Damn it why didn't I listen!

MW2 - PC
So many damn hackers, completely ruined the game experience for me, it was fun with a few friends though. But could've had as much fun buying a few pizzas and movies.

You're mostly right. I should clarify:

I find it entertaining, and calling it "a good game" was personal unchecked bias on my part. Overall the game seems to be slightly above average. The raw shooter mechanics are sub-par. The RPG mechanics don't work (for many). The narrative kinda works the first time, and has some interesting details after the reveal, but as Spoiler Warning season 3 has been showing, without knowing about the reveal, your character behaves like a moron repeatedly.

Now, for a player coming to the game, who's been told it's the second coming, it's pretty easy to play for a couple hours and come to the conclusion that "this is raw shit".

Bioshock (Meh, just meh. Gameplay was boring and clunky and I found nothing in the atmosphere/story.)

Biggest recent regret? Hmmm I'd have to say Grand Theft Auto 3 for the PS2. The controls just make me want to strangle a baby. (plus the first GTA game I played was San Andreas and that's probably the best one)

18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul

I don't know what came over me.
That's the Absinthe talking.

Come to think of it, I've got a copy of Neverend around here somewhere.

Operation Flashpoint 2. I assumed that it would be better than the first one (which was great). Oh how i was wrong...

AND NO MAP EDITOR? that was the best part, you bastards.

Wow now im embarrassed I think i am the only idiot that actually bought Sonic The Hedgehog for xbox360. Worst 10 bucks ever spent. I dont even have to rant about how bad it is because i think everyone knows. I have officially been marked the Fool.

Fucking Left 4 Dead 2.

I honestly don't understand why others find it so fun, me it always frustrates me to the point where I loathe hearing the soundtrack or popping in just to keep other friends entertained.

It's really odd because I had lots of fun playing the first one, so I don't know why I hate this one.

There is one. It's in a separate ap, and handles like shit.

The Witcher (May not have given this one the chance it deserves judging by other people's opinions of it, but the 1 hour I did try it out bored the tears out of me.)
The Witcher's kinda a bastard. On one hand there's some really brilliant material there. On the other hand it drags out the choice ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- consequence time to ridiculous extremes.

I've never gotten past ch4 because of this, actually.

There's also some structural weirdness in the narrative.

Valhalla. Seemed to be a typical rpg, except they kinda left out the button for the character screen, so it's impossible to level up, or increase your skills, and there's no patches for it.
