... post your shame here. Mine are:
Route 66, the Playstation Mini that said nowhere in the description that it was a FUCKING IMAGE HUNT. Bought it for review. I reviewed it in song. I wrote the song myself and composed the music in Beaterator. It was terrible. Just like the game. One day I will write a proper review so I can warn you all, just as I did with Crimson Room Reverse.
Runescape, back when it was still a 2D Java joint. I never paid for a subscription, and I exhausted the free quests pretty quickly. However, I poured so many hours into it to try and increase my skills, spending dozens of sessions repeating the same mundane tasks over and over again. One day I just sort of noticed that I wasn't having fun anymore and I quit playing.
I probably have more, but I should really get some sleep.
Games you are embarrassed to have bought/played...
This random SpongeBob game :I
Beat this: Outlaw Volleyball Remix. That game is sexist, racist, stupid, insulting to one's intelligence, and on top of all that, it's garbage.
Goddammit.
Hmm... I know I've gotta have at least one...
Anyway, my brother always gives me flak for playing games like Animal Crossing, Beautiful Katamari, and Mario Galaxy 2. He doesn't know what he's missing. I am not ashamed to play any of those, and Animal Crossing is one of my all-time favorite games.
I'm gonna say Viva Pinata. Rare, I love you, and took a chance for you, but unfortunately this game really didn't impress me as much as reviewers. I can't say I'm totally ashamed of owning the game, but I'm always extra reluctant to play it.
Arcana Heart. I don't remember why I bought it, maybe a laugh or something, but I do remember feeling like an idiot even just bringing it up to the counter. I was glad to be rid of it later that week.
I played Yaris full knowing it was awful. Even more dreadful was that I found someone on LIve playing it. I was pretty drunk or on something at the time and I'm sure I ended up laughing and swearing at him for a while.
Even funnier was, I got 2 achievements in it. The beauty, it wasn't my Gamertag so, no proof I ever played the horrid thing.
Except for this post.
Fuck.
Hannah Montana: the movie: the game for xbox 360 because i knew it waqs an easy s-rank and I was paying halfs to get it with a bunch of other score whores.
Still a shit game no matter how you slice it.
Turns out I don't.
I was embarrassed to buy Killzone 2. When I brought it up to the counter, I'm sure I verified numerous stereotypes for the lady who checked me out. I mean, it's called Killzone 2, for crissakes. I worked retail once, and you better believe that I had unkind thoughts regarding people buying stuff like People Magazine and crappy pop music. Game wasn't the greatest either.
I can't really think of any.

Not too many since I routinely mention DOAXBV. I didn't care for the second too much but I got hooked on the first. I had forgotten that I used to play Outlaw Golf until ZanzabarBreeze mentioned the volleyball spin-off. I miss the Outlaw series. I'd like to see them bring it back, but I'm sure it'd get a lot of flak from the pretentious games-as-art crowd.
At this point the only thing I'd be terribly embarrassed to admit having played would be one of those cheap achievement points games like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Madden 2006.

Chrono Trigger for the DS. First off my friends started talking loudly in the middle of the EB about how I never give games a chance unless they get good reviews. Then the clerk told me that my friends were fucking retards for not reading reviews, while my friends were still within earshot. Ye gods...
I made a video a few months ago that makes a fairly good answer.
I was always pretty cautious about new Sonic games, but I had literally just bought my Xbox 360 two weeks before this game came out and I wanted something - anything - to play on it. So while everybody else dropped $60 on Gears of War, I dropped $60 on Sonic the Hedgehog.
At least I got a funny video out of it... four years later.

I'm probably a little embarrassed of buying Rock Revolution myself. (though keep in mind that it was $5 brand new)
