that is a hard question because I have a lot of games and like most of them but games I regret playing are
Borderlands:
it was very repetitive, clunky gameplay, and the story built up but had no climax it just suddenly ended without explaining anything so it has a terrible story
assassins creed 1:
also very repetitive (not bad story, the second is much better)
left 4 dead: great game but has absolutely no story.
Civilization 4:
I thought it was like your age of empires RTS game but it turned out to be a boring turn based game. if I want that I will play chess wich I find much more exiting.
Minecraft:
Never really bought it but why would I use this when I could use cryengine 2 or 3, then you say "yeah but this is a game" no it's not there is absolutely no story, no objective, the entire game is just screwing around and only becomes more enjoyable with other people but that is because of the other people and not the game. I may be the only one that dislike's it and get flamed for it but that is just my opinion.
(I like and enjoy almost all game's, like all the halo's, COD4 and the rest following so far, all the battlefield game's, Mass effect 1 and 2, Dead space 1 and 2, crysis 1 1.5 and 2, NFS MW, Burnout revenge, Geometry wars 2, CAC 3 TW, BFME 2, the orange box, Portal 2, Mirrors edge, abes odessay, amnesia the dark decent, bioshock 1 and 2. as you can see there are very few game's I dislike).

Super Monkey Ball Adventure, i thought it was going to be awesome as the first Gamecube Monkey Ball, but i hated it, maybe it was because of the controls on the PSP or something odd, or perhaps the shift of genre that felt slightly like a sandbox, but whatever it was, it doesn't work well with Monkey Ball.
The most recent one for me was the reboot of Turok. While I only paid $5 for a new copy (Gamestop couldn't get it to move) and the game itself is well worth that price, I picked up the PC version, which was terribly optimized. My PC is within the minimums, but the graphics options are barely expanded from the console version, and at absolute minimum settings -- which are pretty ridiculously high for a game from 2008 -- I still get around 20 FPS on average. The annoying part is that simply adding another step down on the resolution would fix my problem; 1024X768 is too much for my laptop, but it could probably swing 1024X600. Considering that most games still go down to 800X600, there's no excuse for a game this un-scalable. I know with a Turok game that I should expect a console port, but that doesn't mean it needs to be done badly; this was just embarrassing.
I know but I mainly bought it for the SP like Yahtzee said:"a game should be able to stand on its SP alone"(I know it,s not 100% and he HATES MP games but you get the idea) don,t get me wrong the SP was good but too short to justify the price tag.haddaway234 said:
hmmm...
Probably Brutal Legend and Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts
but I got them both for half price so im not that peeved off about them.

For the record, its not all that hard to counter, build a turret, trust me *cough* top brute player three months in a row *cough*MetallicaRulez0 said:
Fallout 3: It would be a great game, if it wasn't for all the bugs.
Black Ops: The story was meh, the multiplayer (which everyone told me would be better than sliced bread and the end of all religion) was boring shit for people who take amphetamine and breathe pure oxygen.

You just stated 2 games I enjoy verily so.
Mentioning, Majesty 2, Call of failthulu, and Dungeons (Steam exclusive version)
They were all just awful.
GTAIV - my graphics card is just a bit too old. It runs everything else fine... I see other people regret playing it, but I would have liked to have got even that far.
Sim City 4 - Each city zone feels too small, and the game completely lost the charm of sc3k. And instead of fixing the problems of sc4, they then bring out Societies, which misses the whole point of Sim City. I still think Sim City 3000 is the most important game anyone can play if they want to get into politics...
Red Alert 3 - It should work. It really should. But it fell really flat, in my opinion. I mean, it's Red Alert, so it's supposed to be an high camp rpg, but the humour was contrived, and the 'co-op' single player idea was a total clusterfuck in that it was completely unnecessary, as the opponents were never difficult enough that it required an assistant. Plus the special abilities were too fiddly to use properly.

Got more games I regret buying:
Dead Space 1 (PC) - Worst. Console. Port. Ever. The game heats up my GPU something fierce, the mouse sensitivity is difficult to balance, as it's either so sensitive the cursor moves from one side to the other with just a flick, or I have to move my arm to move the cursor. Then aiming, oh god, the aiming. I literally have to move my entire arm to properly look in any direction while aiming... forget it, the console port is shit on toast.
Hydrophobia: Prophecy - This was my very first pre-order, ever, and on day one, the game was nearly unplayable. Thankfully, the devs are doing their damnedest to quell the angry players by patching the game and talking to players on an individual level.

Metroid: Other M. The teasers for it had shown a seamless blend of FPS and third person, the graphics were great for a Wii game, and it had bloody Samus in it.
And then I put the game in ._.
I think I managed three hours of gameplay, enduring the terrible voice acting and the horrible transition between the FPS-mode used to shoot missiles and third person before I put it down. They completely murdered the powerful female lead that Samus had been up to that point, slicing my role model up to little bits ._.

Witcher - terrible combat
Kotor - terrible combat, overall boring
Pokemon - the ones that i enjoyed i got for free (silver and crystal). overall the games are pretty repetitive and boring. (i know ppl are gonna flame me for sayin that)
Far cry 2 - just never got into it
unreal tournament 3 - the took the series in the completely wrong direction (went for "realism" over the completely unrealistic awesomeness of 2004)
