    When was that

    Because they like, shut down the servers a year or so ago

    Which sucks because that was one of those games that made me want a 360

    Closer to it's release date, actually.

    Believe it or not Uncharted 2. The game just did not click with me. I'm mostly a online FPSer, and it just wasnt that great. Sold it off to a friend who absolutely loved it though so both of us were happy I suppose.

    That and my Wii and everything I ever bought and wasted money on for it. Its like the ultimate "that looks like it will be great!" system, but then when I actually get a game or peripheral for it, I just dont use it. I always slide back to the PC or Ps3. So yea, F the Wii.

    My friend rented Quest 64 and he hated it. I went over his house and beat it in one sitting in an all-nighter.

    What the fuck.

    The only game I regret buying was Halo 2. Halo 1 and 3 I enjoyed but I knew I wouldn't like Halo 2, and bought it anyways :(

    EDIT:

    The second only game I regret buying was Prince of Persia, so repetitive.

    Second'd, and I'd also like to throw in The Forgotten Sands as well.

    For one Christmas I was given the terrible Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue N64 game as a kid.

    It was a bland action game where you didn't even actually fight enemies, you just punched energy balls forward and back.

    The Megazord battles were just the same but with missles, and if you got close enough to knock someone down (which was automatic), you could just stand there and continue knocking them down until you won.

    Starfox Adventures. I'd been pretty much fed up with Rare's shit since Donkey Kong 64 almost crushed my soul, and I held out hope that it wouldn't be another collection of fetch quests but, lo and behold, it was. I think I made it 2 hours in before I just turned it off forever. \

    Blue Stinger. Boy, was that a horrible disappointment on the Dreamcast launch day. Plus, it was one of the initial pressings which were faulty and took at least 5 tries to boot up.

    Champions Online. Played the hell out of the open beta, picked up my pre-ordered copy day of launch, haven't played it since. It was a prettied-up City of Heroes, which I played for a good two years. But at its core, it's incredibly shallow and offers absolutely nothing new.

    After playing and loving the PSone port of Final Fantasy VI - my first game in the series - I went out of my way to track down and buy every other game in the series (Final Fantasy X had recently been released at this time).

    Apart from VI and IX they were all terrible.

    Edit: Oh, and Rise of the Robots. That one still stings.

    I had Rise of the Robots for 3D0

    Wasn't that the 2D fighting game where you couldn't even jump over your opponent? I remember playing that. It wasn't the pinnacle of horrible, but was surely one of the nearby peaks.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I shouldnt have to pay full price for what is essentially MW1.5. The story is a rehash of the first game and the online is v1.5. No thanks.

    I can't remember if you could or not. I no on the 1 player game you couldn't pick a character. You had to play as the blue.

    There was also an Ultraman fighting game for SNES that was set up like that. Had that as well.
