    There's always a few bad purchases, I can't remember the 99cent games that sucked, its mostly when you spend $3-10 bucks that you'll feel remorse.

    Enigmo (The idea is fine but the graphics/framerate just suck too much)
    Asphalt 4 (No gas pedal / button...fail) Ferrari GT is 10x better.
    Chronicles of Inotia (nearly unplayable due to design - control is bad, no waypoints, etc)

    oh and Reign..yawn fest compared to warfare inc and uniwars

    One that comes right on top of my head is Cro-Mag. I got it back in September and swear I didnt open the darn app no more than 5 times... I'm sure there are others but Cro-mag sticks out. Someday maybe I'll give it another shot, but I have a nice little backlog of games right now :(

    the next whiskey bar
    asphalt, line rider, spore, wings (what was I thinking...?), dr. awesome, wave blazer, tap tap dance (what was I thinking...?), lightning tap (I bought that byaccident). and the Pangea games, they all suck except enigmo which was okay. cromag is one of the worst purchases I have made

    I guess there are still some US$0.99 games I hate to admit they are bad.

    Since it is mentioned, I buy Enigmo when it was US$0.99. Deleted it after passing 2 levels, don't quite understand why it gets so many praises.

    Koi Pond, first paid app, first disaster. :)

    Too many to count. Spore (HP (highest price)), Rolando (HP), Ferrari GT (HP, worst purchase of all of them, played it for 2 minutes after paying about $7 for it), Dapple (even though I feel bad for the dev because it has an estimated cost of production of 33 grand or so, link a few posts below), just to name a few. I'm a lot more picky now!

    I don't have one...
    In AMERICA.
    Brothers in Arms was one of the worst games I've ever played on any console.

    iSperm? LOL!

    $mall regrets...

    Dead Mans Dungeon: bad framerate, not ready for release at all.

    Most of Pangea...bought em for $1 each though.

    Days of Thunder.

    iDracula: just not fun for me, played it once.

    Trapped: Undead Infection: Played it for awhile though at least.

    Even the games that I like are hardly played exceot for a few. I have Payback, Warfare, Inc, a lot of really great games, but I just never play them. I find myself playing the casual games...GL Golf, Poker Live, stuff like that. Played iMafia way too much (don't get me started on that one).

    On a side note: I'm going through my list of games in iTunes...why the HELL is iTunes SO SLOW!!! Even scrolling up and down my apps page is incredibly slow. It's not like it has to constantly read from a server for that...what the hell? Can't they speed this up?

    :)

    I have wondered this same thing. It just irritates me every time I try to go through and delete my unused games or even just look at what I have.

    super monkey balls. I bought that as my first app from the app store after getting my iphone on release day. I hated it and then i bought a nice app( Chopper) as a replacement.
