Games you should regret buying.
You know it's true. There's that one game glaring in your collection that you sort of put in the corner of the closet when your friends come over to play. These are the games that I wish never entered my collection.

I purchased this game after the demo sparked my interest. When I finally got around to buying it, I found the super-kiddy version cheaper than the regular version. Being the cheap ass gamer that I am, I bought this shameful version. When I presented it to the cashier at gamestop he showed his co-worker the case and they both smirked. Apparently the $5 I was saving in money was costing me in dignity.

Do you see that title? It was preceded by an anime name. Tell me you didnt go through a phase that involved buying a game based on a popular anime(or cartoon) franchise. I would tell my friends that watched the show that I had the game and I would get a blank stare back. That blank stare was equated to shame.

"But Mom it's an educational game that will teach me about Geography!". This sad attempt in telling my mom I wasnt adding another videogame to one of my Christmas lists turned out to be a bad decision. The only thing mario-ish about it is boss fights in which you jump on some koopas head 3 times, who if I remember right, cant even hurt you. I learned nothing from this game other than that educational games suck ass.

Know how you see a dog standing on the other side of the glass at the store and you really want it but you know your mother will make x number of excuses to keep you from getting it? Well what if that dog cost $35 and wouldnt spark your allergies, or leave hair or excrement around the house? Oh boy is that a dealbreaker. So you buy nintendogs and realize after a week that the best part about dogs is their fur. So the only way nintendogs can become what it claims to be is to get a fur cover for your DS, which could be disturbing to some.

(xbox 360 arcade)
Okay, it doesnt have a case I can hide, but I really wish it wasnt on my played games list on my xbox account. My roomate asked "Are you playing bejeweled with a wolf?" and it hit me how sadly you really can boil that game down to. Essentially, it IS bejeweled. Despite this, the game is still as addictive as crack.

Before Farmville was the cool thing to do, I was playing Harvest moon games. I was running around a virtual town, wooing women, loving my animals, harvesting my plants, fishing and chopping wood. This sounds productive yes? This shit made me want to become a farmer for a period of my life. Needless to say, reality hit one day told me to be ashamed of wasting so many days on this franchise.

It may be the highest rated MMO of all-time. It may have more players than Greenland has people. And it may make more money weekly than I'll make in my life, but that doesnt stop it from being a burden on your image. When people walk into your room and see this, their image of you changes. I don't even play it, but have a copy from when I was trying to get into it and my friends said "Ohhhh so I see you have World of Warcraft. You damn loser. Your virginity is so much more feasible with me seeing this".

Anyone who's played it knows it was one of the most entertaining games on the PS1, more importantly it made the Dualshock controller feel like a tool of God. However, showing this to someone who doesnt know what going on? "Well a whole lot of smart monkeys are released and you have to round them all up so they don't take over the world"....It sounds like I just explained the plot of a Saturday morning cartoon on Fox, which is canceled after season 2.

"Yeah, I own pokemon snap!" "Woah...seriously? I didnt know you were into pokemon that much". No my good sir, I am not that into pokemon. I was part of the 90's generation in which all my relatives who didnt understand me and assumed I loved pokemon. I recieved this as a gift without really asking for it, little did I know the photography in here was much more stimulating that Dead or Alive Paradise.

The ultimatum. The game that I got because I thought this could be the greatest thing ever made. This was beyond nintendogs(before that came out). I could own my own pokemon, needless to say the one bastardized by the series to be the cutest thing ever made. So I got it for a birthday, played it, and realized voice recognition was not coming to videogames anytime soon. I didnt even play, I told Pikachu to do things and hoped that I could be on the productive side on 50% it would understand me. This hides in a back corner as one of the games I never wanr my friends to know I own.
