There's been many. But two probably take the cake.

1. Star Fox Assault. Because I was sold a bullshit bill of goods from the early trailers of it being a legit (see awesome) SF64 sequel, and what it wound up being was badly made (outside of the first two levels) pile of donkey dicks. Quite possibly my single biggest gaming disappointment of all time.

2. Mario & Sonic Olympics. The first one. I just impulse bought it, because, you know, I assumed, fuck, it's the FIRST game to have Mario and Sonic together, and look at Wii Sports. It was super easy to pick up and play, very easy controls, and pretty fun to boot. I figured it was a no-brainer that Sega could just provide that kind of experience too. Nope. Not even close. The game was a fuckin chore to play, and half the events the controls just felt straight up broken. I guess I should have known better after having owned Sonic & the Secret Rings, and how wonky IT'S controls were. I didn't expect a great game by any means, but at least a novel, and decently fun one. It wasn't either. So it wound up being the first and I think only game that I've bought and returned in a 48 hour period.
