    Amaze- Had some fun with it originally, but now its overly sensitive with the updates and not enjoyable.
    ATC- Its not fun. I bought it after I was enjoying Flight Control so much. I will give it a few more tries, but I dont see the entertainment...
    Enigmo- Its not fun. I just dont why everyone loves it so. Glad I got it on sale. Cool concept I guess.
    iDracula- I was really let down on this one. Everyone talks about it being one of the best iphone games. I dont think so. Its boring and repetitive and I personally think the controls are annoying. I'm glad I got it on sale.
    SoltZ- I played it non-stop when I got it. It was so much fun, but now I never open it. It gets to repetitive. I dont regret this one to much because I played it alot when I originally got it.
    Zen Bound- Uh... I got it because of the hype, but I dont like it. Its fun every once in a while I guess. I just enjoy the graphics. Props to the developer on the graphics though.
    RealMaze- Not a big fan of this one. Graphics are really great though and the sounds are sweet. Props to the developer, but this game is just not for me.
    Last but not least, my biggest regret:
    Bomber Online- Terrible game. I bought it for the online multiplayer which is bad. No moderation so there is swearing and nasty pictures in player profiles. "You got F*cked up" displays when you lose. Absolutely terrible.

    Most of those games (apart from Bomber Online) are fun at first and for some instant classics. Just not for me...

    Odd that no one has mentioned... URBAN TYCOON! That was the worst piece of garbage ever! I can't believe I actually paid money for it.

    Do you mean 5 bucks? 50 bucks seems beyond reason, both for the developer and the buyer. Why did you spend $50 on an iPhone game lol... wouldn't it be better if invested in a proper console or PC game? Hell it's more expensive than new PC games.

    Beyond reason?? At least he did not buy Jump at $999.99. Everyone regrets buying at that price. :)

    Feb 09 $999.99 -> $.99
    Feb 05 $1.99 -> $999.99

    the "game" named nano....freezes the ipod touch and you literally cant do anything, even turn it off. also the gameplay is just dumb because there isnt much of any of it. i think it was created to keep people with ADD occupied because it seriously is just bright lights and ambient music

    I regret anything that has a price drop right after I buy it =( (Glyder, Scoops!) Not that it's a bad game and I regret buying it, but at the wrong time

    Oh... I regret downloading a free version of a DS effects game (I just wanted to see how crappy their games are). Those wore the worst seconds of my life.

    S/he said "bucks" so it was assumed to be Canadian or US Dollars -.-';
    $1 or its equivalents isn't that much in any country that has iTunes, so it's not that much of a big regret =P

    Well, I try to be very careful when buying games so I haven't made many mistakes.
    Monster Truck Nitro: As soon as I saw it drop to 1 buck I bought it. Usually I look at reviews but I ignored everything and got it. Then I realized that it doesn't really offer anything and that there is a much better game out there called GI Joyride.
    Wooden Labyrinth. Now don't get me wrong I love the game, but I usually wait for games' price to drop. I freaked out when I heard the game was going to be 4 bucks and I bought it at three. My jaw dropped when I saw it was back to 99 cents. It's totally worth three but it's a steal at 1.

    ...jeeze, I've wasted like 40 bucks. I guess that's better than buying a $60 Xbox game that ends up collecting dust. I don't own any of the current-gen systems so ultimately I'm probably saving money.

    Oh man, that game looked terrible.

    I was particularly disappointed with Reign of Sword's overall presentation after I bought it. I was like... this works... but isn't fun.
