Chris Buffa (Modojo): In my younger years, I made some bizarre and borderline ridiculous shopping decisions. Things were so bad that I literally could not go to a store without leaving with some game and/or peripheral. This was made worse during my import phase, when, like many hardcore players, I was obsessed with things from Japan.
The result? Maxed out credit cards and piles of unused plastic. These weren't necessarily bad products per se. I'm sure you or someone else can make the argument why something like a Wonderswan Color is cool, but it didn't belong in my collection.
On that note, here are a few of the worst purchases in my shopping history. I no longer own any of these things.
In an age where most video games tend to get ported or remastered at some point, there’s a dizzying array of PS2 games that still haven’t been released on modern platforms, even if they were released on other platforms at the time.
The gaming industry has enjoyed a slew of samurai video games that do justice to the ancient samurai period. Here's a list covering them.
This article is a complete failure. Samurai Shodown is the most famous 'samuai video game series of all time. Samurai Shodown should have been at the beginning of article
I know right. How about Lords of the Rising Sun by Cinemaware on the Amiga.
Maybe by the author is too young to remember those masterpieces, or I'm too old and have experienced them!
The fondest feudal japan game experiences i had were Samurai Shodown and Onimusha, especially Onimusha 1 and 2, they were the best of the best.
Cultured Vultures: "Long considered to be the coolest warriors in history, society has a fascination with samurai culture and folklore that has remained unabated for generations, and that’s great. Samurais are rad, end of story."
Loung counsiderd to be the cooulest warriours in histoury. Why are Brit’s always adding u’s into everything lol?
American English is the only English that actually takes it out. UK, Canada and Australia all use it. You can thank Noah Webster for that. It was his attempt to "modernize" English.
Hopefully, Trek to Yomi gets added to the list.

I don't really have any regrets as of late. I typically wait for reviews before purchasing these days to avoid buyers remorse.
Couple of mistakes he made was just being sucked into hype and importing stuff at massive mark ups. We've all been there so know shame in that ;).
Generally i don't regret my purchases. But looking back at the amount of money i've spent on gaming over the years does make me wince every now and then
Yeah, the GameCube for me too. I initially bought it at that time for all intents and purposes of playing the "next gen" Perfect Dark....only to eventually find out that M$ had acquired Rare. Ironically, I hate that I got rid of my GC due to the fact that Eternal Darkness happened to be a personal fav of mine.
Gran Turismo 5, a G27 wheel and a wheelstandpro stand for the wheel.
not that any of those are bad, mind you, but i'm NOT a racing game fan at all. it's one of my least favorite genres. i spent all that money as an impulse buy, though, and ended up selling it all about a month later on ebay.
COD Black Ops. I bought it after having played BFBC 2 for a long time. Didn't expect it to be as good but at least some decent fun. Sold it after 4 days.
