You can post as many as you want if they all seem to rank the same but...I'll start:

Chaos Wars. If it's not on top, it's damned close.

Sonic Heroes. New. $60. . . .

I mean... It's ok... but certainly not worth that amount...

Probably Sonic and the Secret Rings. I was expecting it to be so much better than it was. Sonic Unleashed isn't too far behind . I pretty much have no hope in 3D Sonic games anymore and I think that even stores have lost hope as I have never seen Sonic and the Black Knight on store shelves .

Final Fantasy VII: ~$80.

It's... Alright, but I really could have spent that money on something (Or multiple things, for that matter) far more enjoyable.

...I suppose I should mention that thanks to a stubborn brother, we happen to have two copies of Twilight Princess (One for the GameCube, the other for the Wii) and two guides, one for each of them, wasting about $70.
I suspect he'll regret that one later, if he already hasn't.

Army of Two: Brand new.

This game is not worth two shits and a fuck. It's awful, has a terrible online, and nothing compared to what the developers claimed it would be. The main thing that drew me in is the awesome looking characters, nearly infinite customizable weapons, and 20 hours of gameplay. What I bought was a whiney bitch, and a dumbass hulk, extremely limited custom weapons (Bling weapon? Shit), and I beat the game in 1 hour.

One fucking hour. On hard. Easiest hard mode I have ever played.

And the online? Shit. Utter shit.

This was strike one for EA. Strike 2 was Orange Box for the PS3. I count off two strikes for it for two games that was utter shit. Frame rate issues for Half life 2, and no updates for Team Fortress 2. Portal was awesome though. But not worth the price I paid for Orange box.

I swore up and down I would never buy an EA published game again until I bought Red Alert 3. Good game. Great game. But Army of Two and Orange box on the PS3? Fuck those games. And fuck EA for publishing them.

Soul Nomad That's a pretty good question. Generally I only buy games I know I'm going to play (Hi TF2, Portal) but, uh... yeah.

Most recent might be Pokemon Pearl because ugh

Thank you. I am glad someone agrees with me.

But buy Red Alert 3. That game is fantastic. At least for me it is.

Nintendo Wii as a whole.

Not that it's a terrible console but I honestly did not see myself losing interest in it and then never regaining it (save for No More Heroes and Mad World I guess) only a month or two after buying it


Brawl's hype collapsed in on itself.

DSI, Ubisoft, Activision, and EA. If you see anything with this sticker on it, AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

(Some exceptions, obviously, but 99% of the games from these publishers are shit.)

Oh, how could I forget?

This, this, a thousand times this. What a worthless console. Ugh.

That implies they might actually get away from WoW long enough to care.

Brawl is not one of them. I already have a friend who is a fanatic of the game, and no offense to him, but it get's old quick for me if I play it too much. It's not deep for me. The predecessor however was amazing.

But I would like to get the Remake of Cave Story, Mario Galaxy, and Twilight princess. That is basically it.

Maybe madworld.

Super Mario Galaxy was a little bit of a let down for me. The levels were way too linear unlike in Super Mario 64 and Sunshine where you didn't even have to get the star that you selected.

Wario Land: Shake It is probably my favourite game for the Wii. I'm a huge fan of the Wario Land series .

I liked Galaxy, and a few other games on the Wii, but it does seem to have kinda fallen apart, hasn't it.

Aside from that, the thing I most regret getting would probably be Warhawk, actually. I heard it was great, so I got it, but I don't think I ever actually played it after taking out the free headset that came with it...

My most regrettable purchase would be Animal Crossing - Wild World. I played the DS one beforehand, and wasn't at the purchase to say "Animal Crossing is a shitty series, don't buy this". Never took it out of the plastic that was wrapped around the game box.

Donkey Konga.
It was fun, for about two days, then the shitty covers got annoying.
