Forums - Gaming Discussion - What was your worst gaming purchase and why?

Can be anything gaming related.  A console or handheld, a game that you pre-ordered or bought for full price that was crap, a peripheral that you never used etc 

Mine is the PSP.  I played a few hours on the games I got with it, one was Miami Vice which was ok and I can't remember the other.  After that, I played a fair amount of Football Manager portable but it's nowhere near as good as the PC version.  Looking back the PSP had a good library but I didn't follow gaming enough to realise it at the time.

What is yours?

El Shaddai. Paid 25 euros for it. I've never finished it.



Considering I usually sell games I don't enjoy, I'll go with the one I kept.

Wind Waker. Awful game.



"You should be banned. Youre clearly flaming the president and even his brother who you know nothing about. Dont be such a partisan hack"

Ultraman: Towards the Future for SNES. When I was a kid I had a choice between that and Joe & Mac, and for some unknown reason I picked the former. I've never forgiven myself.



Infinite Undiscovery. I bought it at full price and I played it for 1 hour and then never played it again.

Pocket Dogs for the GBA... I was 9, and thought "wouldn't it be cool to have my dog in my game boy?"



Current Consoles: Gaming PC, Wii U, 3DS

I got bored of that game after about three hours and sold it.  Very pretty though

Yes, but that's the only virtue the game has. Extremely boring, in my opinion.



probably CoD Ghosts.
