Black Ops.
I've played the first 3 single player stages and about 2 hours of multiplayer.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is just so much less bullshitty and so much more fun.
And Battlefield 3 looks just plain orgasmic.

So I really have no reason to ever play Black Ops.
Because if I want to play a silly spammy shooter, I'll play TF2 and have fun doing it.

Scribblenauts. Bored after two missions solving all my problems with tyrannosaurs. Probably a few ps2 games that I've since blocked from memory.

I bought a MTG game on steam, only to find it crashing every 3 minutes. I eventually quit trying and never played again.

Black&White. Bought it on release day. Got home and installed it. Got confronted with a horrible localized version in my own native language, the most crap voice acting you could possibly imagine.

Some genius thought that it might be a good idea to have both Belgian and Dutch people do the voice work in the same game. They have completely different pronounciation. It would be like mixed American English and regular English.

On top of that, the stupid childish statistics (how many times did your creature take a shit) and that GOD AWFUL sailor song made me take the freaking thing back right away.

It's unfortunate, but the most recent game purchase I kind of regret is Fallout:NV on PS3. I knew it was buggy, but not this buggy. Random freezes, disappearing audio, quest bugs... grrr! And to top it off, it's not even an improvement in any way over Fallout 3. I keep popping it in, in hopes there'll be an update for it to take care of at least some of the bugs, but I've really given up hope at this point. Now I can play anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes before a bug occurs and I end up shutting it off.
Ah yes, such a shame that was. I really want to love that game and see that I could love it, be it not that it's so horribly broken. And because I've apparently strayed a bit too far from the set path I've horribly broken the main quest or something. I can't even finish it the way I like now! That's not how you handle a sandbox game.
I guess the only silver lining is that I waited and didn't buy it right away. When I did actually buy it I had some unexpected extra cash so I splurged and spent $45 on a used copy at Best Buy. I'd be even more bummed if I had paid full retail for such an unpolished final product.

Sounds like something game companies do to their customers. ha

CoD WAW, PC, special edition. This was before my switch to ps3, of course; I had an aging Windows XP.

It was a truly amazing game; my computer didn't like it so much, and thus every loading screen it would crash terribly and erase all data.

My second most regretted purchase was f.e.a.r. 2. I don't think I need to say much more.

Either Dragon Age or New Vegas. I bought Dragon Age on sale, but got the collectors edition of New Vegas. New Vegas was slightly better, but still not that great, and not worth $70.

I really shouldn't have bought Bioshock (especially not at the same time as Fallout 3). I never liked it and hardly played it. Was still mighty expensive too.

Metroid Other:M, need I say more? Awful game, awful everything.

Every Final Fantasy after Tactics, 8,9,10, Tactics Advanced all of them ranging from bad to bastardization of a great series.

Oh and Kingdom Hearts, weak fanservice served with a awful story.

Has to be MW2. I'm one of the poor saps who deprived themselves of sleep just to play one of the most by the books, uninspired and downright disgusting sequels in the world. Dont get the hating on Blops though, although that's probably because of the boat level, with the Rolling Stones playing and the screams my poor, stupid victims...... Anyway, Dragon Age: Origins is a close second, it actually made me feel like vomiting, not in a joking, exaggerating way. So much brown...

Not only did I bought "Alone in the Dark" for the Wii but I bought the limited edition of it. Ok while the figure of the main character and the artbook is decent but the soundtrack isn't my taste.

Haze it did so little right, and what was good was abruptly cut short most of the time by the failing of the drugs, then completely when i had to stop...
Edit: I think right is an overstatement.

Just Cause 2.

What I was expecting: "OMG THIS GAME IS AMAZING! THE WORLD IS HUGE AND I CAN HOOK PEOPLE ONTO PLANES LMFAO!"

What I got: "Hey guys, let's have the worst voice acting ever put into a massive world with barely anything to kill and a shop system that's absolutely terrible."
