Giants Citizen Kabuto is the last game I really regret buying, because I bought into the hype. Otherwise I got the controller bundle with Nuts & Bolts and Trouble In Paradise for clearance pricing - it sucked but I was able to trade them in towards BioShock.
Mind if I ask what you didn't like about it, and also when you bought it? That is, recently or back in 2000 when it came out? It's not the best game in the worl by any means: the base-building Mech levels are damn hard without cheating, some of Delphi's levels are confusing or annoying (damn jet-ski racing), and Kabuto was often too hard to play as. But the game was funny and had a lot of good levels I thought. In the day the graphics were also better than almost anything else (bar Sacrifice) and the sound was great too. Don't remember much hype about it, although maybe you mean forum hype, as it's usually well-remembered.
OT: I buy games when cheap so I don't really regret many. I picked up Chrome on Steam for 70p and couldn't play it due to suckage (I have Chrome: Specforce waiting for me too). I guess Republic Commando is one I regret, as I just didn't like the gameplay (apart from the squad mechanics, which were great). I also bought FarCry back in 2005 and regretted it as soon as those fucking mutants appeared. Way to kill a fun game, asshats.
