Yeah....there have been several things in the past I regret buying. That's why now I'm in a constant debate in head when I see something I want....

Do I really need this?
How often am I really going to watch/play this?
Should I wait and ask for it as a Christmas/Birthday gift and save my money?

Those sort of questions go through my head....

it's a good habit to get ito - esp with games.
My sister bought the newest spyro games - they ended up having about 2/4 hours gameplay in it and just repeating teh same thing over and over. and NOT FINSIHING because they were a narrative thing. blerg.

Recently? Left for dead 1.
I bought it at Walmart b/c I was there and thought 'well... since I'm here why not buy it from them instead of game stop? I'll save myself a trip!"
Well I went home and played it with my sister and it was terrible! Repetitive and no storyline. Same goal each campaign and we finished one campaign in 1 hour. o_o

So the next day I took it to game stop to trade it in (If you open a video game you can't return it). The guy there happens to know me and wanted to know if I wanted to pre-order the next one so we started to chat and we told him and the other guys how I just bought it yesterday and our thoughts on it. The guy was like "Aw! Now see if you bought it from us I could have returned it to you for full price b/c I know you. But since you bought it from the 'enemy' I can only give you half back as trade in." lol

And we got store credit back. ^_^ So in the end I bought a game and lost some money when I was trying to save by not driving to anther store...but I learned that the guy I know at game stop will give me a full return even if I open a video game since he knows me! ^_^ So I learned something new!
((The guys (and one girl) at our local game stop are really nice. ^_^ SO I know now to only buy my games there from now on.))

The only bad thing is that some reviews are bad. >_< So you can sometimes get thrown off when a game is actually pretty amazing.

I kind of regret buying Scribblenauts. Don't get me wrong, it's nifty and fun to play around with, but I think I should have waited for it to go down in price.

Oh, and the DLC for "My Life As a King." First you have to pay for it, then you need to do a mission to UNLOCK THE THING YOU PAID FOR. I have some things I didn't even bother to unlock.

And, of course, My Life As a King itself. As someone stated, it's "A Final Fantasy game where you send people off to play Final Fantasy." You don't even get to watch any battles if you want to.

I found "Left 4 Dead" fun, but I agree on the repetition. I would never pay full price for it. One of my friends bought it. I would have regretted the purchase.

Demos can give you a nice feel for a game. Look on the Xbox Live Marketplace for demos of games you're interested in.

Sometimes you can't even rely on that. One of my favorite Xbox games, Sonic Unleashed (Shut up!), was bashed to death by critics and fans of the series, but I loved it. Except for the constant quick time events. I didn't like those.

We tried a bit of Left for dead 2 as a demo and it was fun. But we didn't play it for so long and decided to go out and just buy the first one. >_< Bad idea.
I LOVE how the 360 allows you to try demos by just downloading it so conveniently. ^_^

I heard about the Sonic Unleashed thing.
Critics hated it, but Fans liked it.

I know, right? I remember when one would have to go all the way to a store that might have a demo disc that had a game he or she was interested in. Then you had to pay for it.

Really? Maybe I've only seen the whiny fans.

Here are things I read and my counters:

"WAAAAAH! Sonic turns into a werewolf and he's slow!"
Hold down the right trigger and he runs on all fours. He's not as fast as regular Sonic, but he's still faster than Mario.

And let's not forget the battlemech levels in Sonic Adventure 2. Fans seem to forget about how slow those levels were.

"Sometimes I die because I didn't know what was up ahead."
That happened all the time in the old games.

"THE MEDALS! U NEED MEDALS 2 MOVE ON!"
I actually never had a problem with having enough medals. All you need to do is explore the levels.

"SONIC IS TOO FAST!"
Wait . . . what?

After I played through Sonic Unleashed, I came to the conclusion that a lot of people are just whiners.
