Have you ever bought a game, then played it and wondered, then realized that buying it was a waste of time? What games have you bought that you thought was a total waste of money?

I don't buy crap, I just rent it.

I rented Pirates Of The Caribbean: At Worlds End because I thought it might have some decent Co-Op play (the last one had Co-Op play). The game sucked and it had a very, very small portion of Co-Op. So that was a waste.

I rented Medal Of Honor: Vanguard the same night hoping for Co-Op and it only had split-screen multiplayer (which wasn't that great). The game doesn't even support online play.

I've blown a lot of money on game rentals, most of them being crap when I want to play a game with more than one person. "1-2" players should be exactly that! But games like Rainbow Six force you to beat a level first before letting you play with a friend. That's a load of crap.

Oops, now I'm ranting. Read the labels and read reviews before you buy or rent your games, kiddies.

Too many to remember. Mostly console games, as I try out PC games before considering. Or I try to try.

I don't tend tend to buy many games, I obtain them from alternate sources. Though, I remember once a game called Conflict: Desert Storm. Waste of money IMO, only played it once.

I think only game original I ever bought was San Andreas. For fifty bucks when my grandparents visited usa. That was total waste of money as my friend brought me the same game pirate version which I still have today. Don't really know where original is.

Besides that I never buy original games. Ocassionaly I order a few games from local pirate. Or download them from the net.

For those of you who purchase from the "local pirate" (lol), doesn't it suck to have a blank disc with a clear case for a game? My Final Fantasy games, for example, are ones I always purchase. Just for the sake of collection, and the authentic case and disk always looks better than the burned disks you get.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, ha ha ha.

I probably wasted countless amounts of money on World of Warcraft.
