Defiantly The Club, it was awful in every single way, I'm all up for over the top violence in an arcadey game show format but seriously, could they have missed the mark any more? I bought it because it got a good review score and yes I can see what they were going for but it fell severely short in my opinion. The only game I've ever traded in the next day, and I don't mean on my next trip into town, I made a point of going back the next day to tell them what I though of it.
The Divinci Code for the Xbox, I was 14 at the time and thought it would be great, I spent three days on the first puzzle and another week on the second, after that I gave up and hid the game where I couldn't find it, I only recently found it and I threw it away.
Bioshock 2. Honestly, it felt like lazy storytelling, with new elements just shoe-horned into the original story ("SO THAT LAMB LADY? TOTALLY HERE THE WHOLE TIME. SUPER IMPORTANT. WE JUST DIDN'T TALK ABOUT HER IN THE PREVIOUS GAME BECAUSE...UM...SO, HOW ABOUT THAT BIG SISTER?"), and with almost no change to actual gameplay. I wound up returning it for credit the same day I bought it.
first in formost i love DA2 but i have to admit bioware kinda screwed up the ending i mean it worked but it left me wanting more.(oh and to all of you who are pissed about the loss of the old stat and skills system.....did you play the same game as me?!)blizzaradragon said:

Ditto. Biggest waste of $80. I bought it to because my friend's pressured me into it.AlternatePFG said:

Bought it when I still thought old memes were funny. Realized a little while later that the game was shit. Too bad! I dunno, like... it was one of the glitchiest games I've ever played, so many letdowns for all the HYPE

Metal Gear Solid 4 the best term for it is interactive movie as there is four minutes of cutscenes to every minute of gameplay
As of about ten minutes ago, I would have to go with Homefront. What a waste of money, just over 3 hours of playtime and the campaign is done. I am so angry I don't even want to bother with the multiplayer.
If I didn't say it already, I'd also add Costume Quest to my list.
Words cannot express what a waste of fucking money this game was. I know it was PROBABLY aimed towards kids, so this is the LAST time I'm basing my purchases on reviews. "Hey," HyperCubed thought. "This game got really good reviews, and it was made by the same people who made Brutal Legend and Psychonauts (which I haven't played, please don't hurt me). So maybe this game will last me more than 5 hours of gameplay!"
But oh, how I was wrong. I was looking for a game with length. An RPG with more than 3 moves. An RPG where the sidequests took MORE than 5 minutes to beat. An RPG where collectibles weren't as easy to find as a neon-yellow searchlight in the middle of a pitch-black room. An RPG where it doesn't take me 5 hours to find every collectible, beat every enemy, and get every costume/character and, in general, beat the game with 100% completion.
15 dollars. That's 3 bucks per hour of gameplay. What a waste. And then I found DeathSpank... tons of hours of gameplay and a main character who almost left my sides splitting. For another 15 dollars. I was THRILLED!
Then both games went on sale on the PSN a few weeks later for 50% off. Fuck you, Sony.

I have a small laundry list of games that I totally regret buying.
CSI: Miami on PC; Can't place what's bad about it, it's just all bad all the time.
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on DS; I never thought I'd actually be saying that, but it's quite true. Just watch Yahtzee's review on the game and you'll get the exact truth about it.
Kya on PS2; I've conveniently forgotten the rest of the title to that game, but I don't think I've played a game that's so embarassingly bad. That's all there is to say about that.
Final Fantasy X-2 on PS2; I saw a gal friend playing it and she appeared to really enjoy the game. So when I finally picked it up for myself at GameStop, I thought I would, too. I never was more wrong and naive. I hadn't even gotten very far when I realized that it was by far the most tedious, boring, confusing and rather cliched game I'd played and I should've heeded the store clerk's warning and just stopped anf FFX. But I made my stupid, stupid decision and I have to live with it... To be honest, I don't even know where my copy even is so it's kinda win-win.

Tie between Black Ops and DA2. Neither gave me enough entertainment for what I paid for them. I never even finished Black Ops' campaign because it was so crappy, and the multiplayer is boring. DA2 has had enough said about it, so I won't go in to it, but needless to say I was one of those who disliked the game.
