Games you anticipated but never bought when it came out.

Okami.

Not excited for it anymore since finding out about the gibberish voices, the fetch quests, the lack of challenge.
I can see myself picking it up later on when it's $19.99

Finally a multiplayer mode in TR I thought. Pity it's a shitty port.

Outrun 2006
Not sure why. I loved Outrun 2, I guess I just couldn't be bothered doing it all again.

D2
I thought it would be the second DC game I'd play, but it didn't even get a damn EU release!

i was pumped for Resident Evil 4, then well, it was for gamecube, and i simply couldn't face looking at it anymore, so i just thought meh, all i play is ds right now, preordered a wii, hopefully that'll get me back into the home console flow of things

Okami is a big one for me right now

In the past, Paper Mario was one, didn't buy it until last year, and enjoyed the hell out of it

exosquad- I used to LOVE this show back in the day. When I first read in gamepro (yes I know that mag sucks and no i don't read it anymore) that a game based on the cartoon was coming out i was super excited. Unfortunately, when it did come out I was broke (not unusual considering i was in my early teens) and my parents refused to buy it for me, so I was forced to rent it instead...

thank god.
I was reading this post and knew it was a game that you should just rent. awesome show but man was that game uneventful. I think I only played the first few levels.

Loco Roco and Cooking Mama. I had been anticipating them for a long time, but ended up getting other console games. They just happened to come out at the worst time since there were so many releases the past few months. I will get them eventually. Hopefully before the year's end.
 
Battlefield 2
Tekken 5
SoulCalibur 3
GTA Liberty City Stories
GRAW
Halo 2
Grandia III
Daxter
Syphon Filter Dark Mirror


Lack of $$$ sucks

Lionheart (PC): the idea of Diablo 2 set in an alternate history universe during the Crusades, using the Fallout character creation system, sounded awesome. Then I played the demo they released and wow, horrible game.

Dead Rising. Really looked forward to this but I can't be bothered with the save system. Definte get when the price drops.

Conker: Live & Reloaded
Metal Gear Solid 2
Okami
Killer 7
Fable
Brute Force
Shadow of the Colossus
Jade Empire
Perfect Dark Zero
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Spikeout: Battle Street


Typically, when a game suffers more than one delay in release I lose all interest in the game.

I anticipate a lot of games, but I never buy them because I want to see them bomb and make you cry.
 
Tork (Xbox): I fell in love with Tiwak's little prehistoric guy, and it was terrible when Microsoft announced that they cancelled the game. I was so happy when Ubi said they picked it up alongside with Tiwak itself (they made a great work with GRAW for the X360), but when Tork finally came out there was so much other stuff to play, that I just didn't have the time to buy it.

Malice (Xbox): nearly the same here. With the exception that the game turned out to be far away from good.

Phantasy Star Universe (X360): I was really hyped for this game, but it looks and feels so 2001 that I'm going to miss the launch. There's so much good stuff coming out, that I don't have the time to play this.
 
Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams and Steambot Chronicles. I was going to pick them up at release, but I forgot, and am now waiting for massive price drops.

World of Warcraft: Didn't had the cash at the moment, now it's too late for god status (yeah I'm too competitive on MMMORPG)

Majora's Mask: suddenly lost interest

Banjo Tooie: arrived too late

Battlefield 2142: the beta sucked sooo bad, demo didn't fix anything either.
