    you've never purchased a game an instantly taken a disliking to it then? or played a game for a matter of minutes and decided it's not for you? (question to everyone really). most have.

    Yes, I regret iNavX. It is pretty terrible. For $49.99 I expected so much more. But there is no competition, so what choice do I have? Nadda!

    that's a point really, it's only a $ or 2. and looking at the question again, do i ever regret buying an app/game?

    to be honest, even if i really hate the game, no, it doesn't bother me really. i couldn't give a t0ss in the scheme of things.

    Many times. I regretted it the most with Enigmo, Asphalt and Blue Attack.

    Oh, but as for games I have purchased; I think Armado and Krull were both equally disappointing.

    I can't think of many things in life I regretted more than buying Kroll.

    Played the lite version, liked it. I played the full version with 3 measly tracks and a weak story. Worst purchase I've made yet in the app store.

    I have a feeling that this was the first time that the dev gave away promo codes for Crazy Snowboard. It's also well worth $0.99 anyway, you should feel good that you paid for it, developers have to make some money.

    thats true but i believe that was the 2nd time since i got the game that the dev game away like 10 promo codes. Other than that fact its a good $.99 game

    Blue Attack!- Have to start over every time you lose.
    Enigmo- Just plain boring.
    iDracula- No story mode. (I know tons of people on here love this game, sorry.)
    Nanosaur- Once again, just plain boring.
    Mouse About- Meh. Once again, start all over when you lose.
    Space Monkey- Just stupid.
    Touch Sports Tennis- No career mode, unless it's recently been updated or something.
    Zombieville USA- Just pisses me off, lol. I hate games that I have to start all over when I lose, just pointless.

    Hi, I've regretted just a few purchases. Luckily I try to avoid impulse buys and make sure to read a few opinions/reviews before I do buy an app or game. So far I regret getting Moto Chaser (99 cents, whew!), Downhill Bowling (bought on a whim after playing online), Days of Thunder, SlotZ (funny, cause I grew up in the late 70s early 80s when slot racers were HUGE), WordFu (might be better if I was good at it). I think that's about it.

    Since most of the games are so darn cheap, I wouldn't go as far as saying that I truly regret purchasing any apps, but here are some that I don't like as much as I hoped I would:

    aDrummer
    airDrums
    Auto Mangle
    Brothers in Arms
    BurnBall
    Burning Tires 3d
    Days of Thunder
    Drop7
    Fast & Furious Pink Slip
    Fieldrunners (I know a lot of you like this game, but to me it's one of the most boring TD games out there.
    Frogger (bought it for my wife - not even worth a buck)
    Galactic Assassin (was expecting average, got pure crap)
    Hero of Sparta (nice graphics, boring gameplay)
    High Speed Chase
    Moto Chaser
    Paper Airplane Pilot
    South Park ImaginationLand
    Toy Tanks 3d

    There's more, but that will do.

    almost most of the games by pangea
     
  19. For me it would have to be "ATTACK FROM THE DEAD", it was the first and only game the I downloaded and deleted after about 10 minutes haha. It looks great but I just don't like playing a game where my character is trapped in an invisible column. Just not for me :p
