POP, the game was fun for some time, but i didn't like the fact that i have to star from wave 1 everytime... items in multiplayer are not well designed (1 clock for all the players) and it is easy.
Maybe Family Tennis but it is a good mindless time-waster

Texas Hold'em. Horrible game, just horrible. The online is buggy as hell and it feels really slow as well. Good thing it was only 500p.

There he goes, Firkraag. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. - My VGscore

Bomberman Blast, seriously a game focused on on-line play that has a sucky on-line play with the wierdest lag ever and that only works every now and then, geez, I should have bought Bomberman 93.
I actually like SatSR, imo one of the best sonic 3D games.

That is strange since i never notice any lag in any of my online matches... ¿?

Critter Round-Up was a turd through and through. shudder Pop bored the hell out of me. Plaettchen: Twist'n'Paint could have been a good puzzler, but all that extra gimmicky garbage that was increasingly piled on in later stages just ruined the whole effing game. Oh, and Alien Crush Returns is way overrated. Sure, it looks good, but the gameplay is beyond boring, especially since none of the tables are really challenging. The original was by far the better pinball game.

On another note, I didn't like Bomberman Blast in the beginning, but it grew on me and I have quite a lot of fun with occasional bouts of matches. The only thing I don't like about the game is that the power-ups aren't destroyed by the flames unlike in previous Bomberman iterations.

Well, it's more like a delay in the signal, y'know like when you see another player walking through an explosion without burning or when other players get trapped in the walls, that proofs you don't really see where the other players are but where they were, and it just doesn't feel like the offline matches.

Dr.Mario. It's a good game, but i would not buy it again for 1000points. There aren't any innovations or new things, only the online mode which isn't the best...

Yes, i have seen people trapped in walls... i thought it was some kind of glitch or something.

I forgot MaBoShi... original, nice the first few weeks... but get boring after a while.

Onslaught was way too hard for little old me. I started it on "normal" difficulty, and could get no further than the second boss. I keep meaning to restart the game on easy, but...it's just not worth it. The online mode is pretty fun though, I confess, so it's not a total loss.

Bomberman Blast was a total waste of points. The lag is SO bad it's unplayable. I had some friends over and it was embarrassing, they thought I had the worst connection on earth! I had to put Mario Kart Wii in instead to prove that it wasn't my fault.

Toki Tori is actually a bit of a disappointment for me, too. It doesn't give you much room to "figure" puzzles out...just just keep dying or getting trapped, without the luxury of being able to shuffle things around. That's a personal preference, and I realize other people love it and I respect that, but for me, there's nothing fun about staring at your screen for 10 minutes trying to figure out what's going to work.

I regret buying Bomberman Blast.
The game does not have a story mode as i thought it would have, the story of bomberman games is the only thing thats fun for me.

I agree about Bomberman Blast (no story mode and lag comments) , but I still don't regret buying it, since it's a heap of multiplayer fun at £23 less than the DS equivalents.

I've just realized that I hardly ever play MaBoShi, since that one got repetitive from the start as well. I wonder how long it's going to take Nintendo to port the DS version over to DSiWare? (Okay, nothings been announced, but it's bound to happen, right?)

I thought Family Table Tennis could of been fun, it wasn't. At the very least it was just $5.00.

Gyrostarr was an interesting case, as I was just looking at the size of the game, but instead I pressed the "Yes I want to buy this" button instead of just continue on looking for games. In the end, I kind of regret that, but it was a folly anyway. It was way too repetitive.

Alien Crush Return, and maybe a little bit of Bomberman are the titles I do regret buying. I was just disappointed with the game itself and the online service respectively of games.

@Atlantis1982: Man I was thinking of picking up Alien Crush Returns. I guees it's probably worth passing on then?

Niki - Rock 'n' Ball... I hate the controller... And I'm not talking about the motion sensitivity/retro control setup. I'm talking about the way Niki behaves on screen. Way too much time is spent struggling with an uncooperative ball...

Super Smash Bros Brawl! I'm not trollin here, I really thought it was terrible. It only got about 5-6 hours play and I had to switch it off and put the disc back in its box. Never to be touched again. That sub-space thing was just such an effort and punishment, all I wanted to do was unlock sonic, and when I did, I couldnt control him! Shame too, because I was really looking forward to it, I was even down at gamestop 08:00 in the morning when they opened to collect it. At least I still have Melee which is brilliant.

I don't think there is a worse Bomberman player than myself. I used to suck at it back in the day but I decided to give it another go when I downloaded Bomberman Blast. I'm even worse than before. I can't go 60 seconds before I'm dead. I still don't regret buying it though. I usually don't regret purchases because I figure there will come a day I'll be bored enough to go back and play games I have saved on my sd card. That being said, there is that one dark day in my life I didn't want to relive but I will do so. SPOGS freakin' racing!!! THE WORST GAME EVER!!! That was the first time I've ever purchased a game and immediately regretted it. I still can't get over it which is why I will say nothing more about it.

As for Alien Crush Returns, there isn't much depth but I still love throwing it on for quick plays. Those quick plays usually don't end up being quick at all. It's just mindless fun.

@Will: It's definitely not a WiiWare game, but I am curious - I mean really? You think Melee is better than Brawl? Really? I mean, you're fine for thinking that, I'm just amazed. Sub-space Emissary isn't the highlight of the game, by far.

@SilentJ: You're rekindling my desire to check out Alien Crush.

@Anthonyb + @VenomTheEvil, Ah, sorry bout that. I didnt know what was going on there for a moment when you both responded WiWare. I just read the header "Games you regretted buying" and I got a little confused about where I was with the new site layout Ok, so it's not WiWare, but yeah, I got weeks/months of enjoyment out of Melee but nothing from Brawl. Go figure.
I'v never downloaded a WiWare title, so I cant even add to this this thread properly now lol!
