when i first got my ps2, i went crazy getting games i thought i'd never see again. two of them were Fear Effect 2 and RPG Maker
Fear Effect 2 was ok. i dunno why i thought it'd disappear if i didn't get my hands on it immediately. i just wish i hadn't bought it at the time. for one, the price tag fell to $20 pretty quickly. second, i had fun when i played it but i lost interest after just a few hours. i dunno why exactly. i think i'm too stupid for the puzzles in that game or something. i remember half the time i didn't know what the hell i was doing. maybe i'll give it a go this winter break, but that's a big maybe
trying to create even a small game in the playstation RPG Maker is a pretty big job. there's so much you've gotta go through just to get the simplest tasks done. i bought it because i thought i'd never see it again (which was true), but i never thought that an RPG Maker would exist for the pc. other than ease of use, the pc RPG Makers provides a lot more options for your games. speaking of which, i might get that RPG Maker 2 one day. i dunno how much i'd put it to use, but it looks so sweet, i've just gotta try it
EDIT:
oh ya, my dad got me Aladdin for Genesis when i was a kid. man, that game sucked. but i played the hell out of it because i had nothing better to do. hours and hours and hours of apple-throwing

You'll get a real kick out of this story, but don't hurl tomatoes until you read the end of it.
Anyway, my 'sour' game was Dragon Warrior for NES. I bought on a whim. I had no idea what the game was about, and I thought the cover art was cool and the title was awesome. This was in the day, when games were behind glass shelves, so I couldn't see the screenshots in the back. Anyway, I took it home and I was like WTF! What is this sh-t!? I had never played an RPG. Anyway, kept playing it. I think I even had to read Nintendo Power to beat it. Anyway, Dragon Warrior hooked me into RPGs. Dragon Warrior 1 was never my favorite RPG, not by a long shot. But I will always remember it. Sigh sigh sigh.
So, I guess this post is OT cause it didn't turn sour afterall.
Well, I thought Gladius for the GC sucked. But it was used, so I returned it.
I haven't had any real 'gaming lemons'. I have played a ton of bad games, but most of the time, I know the game is gonna be terrible, but I'm still gonna play it.
Bored? "160"

I felt the same way about that game... it certainly got pretty good reviews, but after a few hours I just had trouble picking it up again. Some of the puzzles were too obscure, for sure. I don't mind thinking, but it's nice when things make some goddamn sense.
And oh yeah, I was just thinking back to my NES days... I actually bought the game 'Airwolf' based on the TV show, so young and foolish I was, on the plus side I traded it to this guy for Contra and then kept forgetting to give it back for about a month. Heh.
More recently, Devil May Cry 2... which actually insulted me.
