Worst: Star Fox Adventures (ewww...) Mario Party 8 (I hated the others, so I don't know what made me think this would be better) Killer7 (sure, it was hella unique but the gameplay was terrible)

Best: ExciteTruck - At first I thought it way overpriced, but I just kept coming back to it and came to love it Tatsunoko vs. Capcom - I wanted to relive SF2 in the arcades from when I was in High School, and bought this with trepidation about how fighers have changed. I was quickly in over my head, but have pulled myself up to the surface of the deep gameplay and adore the game
Worst: Tetris Party - Nothing wrong with the game, but I always think I should get Tetris, then do and never play it as I've played it for umpteen years already Legacy of Y's - Again nothing wrong with the game, but the price was cut in half within weeks making me wish I'd waited Andre Panza Kick-Boxing - Too old a game for most to remember, but I was desperate for fighting action on the TG-16, and this was the best I could find...it was better left undiscovered FF7 (PC) - I started to play it, but then realized why I'd stopped playing RPGs, I just don't have the time...it sits on a shelf w/less than an hour played KOTOR (PC) - Ditto above

Best: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX I didn't have any idea what the Zelda franchise was about, I didn't even know it was a franchise, I just liked the box art.
Worst: Pop Just wanted to get something the day WiiWare launched. Broken gameplay.

@Roo: What, the Sega Saturn is fantastic! I... kinda impulse bought mine, back when it was still in the swing of things. I actually asked for a Game Gear and my parents brought back a Saturn. No biggie. Games are hard to find now, but there are loads of classic titles. NiGHTS Into Dreams, Guardian Heroes, Panzer Dragon/Zwei/Saga, Grandia, Sonic 3D Blast (better than anything out now certainly!), Sonic Jam (probably the best Sonic collection out there), Saturn Bomberman, Mega Man 8, House of the Dead, Albert Odyssey, Blazing Dragons, Burning Rangers, D, Daytona USA, Sega Rally Championship, Dragon Force, Radiant Silvergun, Enemy Zero, Shining Force III, Shining Wisdom, Shining the Holy Ark, Virtual On, Virtua Cop 2... Darn, too many to list.
Best: My PS1 which I got for $25 on ebay and it came bundled with Chrono Cross. Used FFIX Black Label copy that I found for $25 in near mint condition Used Metal Gear Solid Black Label that I found for $20 in neat mint condition Brand new copy of Final Fantasy Anthology that I got on ebay for $20. I think I have been lucky when it comes to my PS1 and finding good games available for reasonable prices when I wasn't even looking for that game at the time. (granted all the games were on my eventual to get list, but I wasn't planning on purchasing any of them at the time I actually did, hence the impulse part. Hard to pass up a good deal.)
Worst: Madden 10 Wii. Not a bad football game actually... But I played it for about a week then haven't touched it since... I'm not really into sports games so I have no idea what I was thinking buying it at full retail. And it didn't help that the mode where you play through the career of a single player has a broken camera.
Worst purchase ever: Shadow the Hedgehog. Need I say any more? Paid $80 for it, and maybe played it for 30 minutes before deciding it was not worthy of my time...
I never buy things by impulse anymore, I got so many crap games. But anyway, sorting through it all, the worst may have been... Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (DS), Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (DS) or Uno 52 (DS). Best: Possibly King Kong (thank god I got the GC version instead of DS), Star Wars: Episode III (DS), or WarioLand: Shake It.

Best: Harvest Moon 64 (i actually didnt wanted it cuz it looked girly, but my mom insisted for some reason! i ended up loving it!) Worst: The sims 3 (my computer cant play it FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-)
