I worked in a game shop for a couple of years (Virtual Reality - they are long gone now) We had an unwritten policy to tell people to nob off if they came in saying 'I brought this game and my mate / mum / uncle brought it for me too. It's the weakest excuse ever and no one believes it, even if it is true. It was always the same shit games that got brought back so you knew full well when someonw was lying. The way to take a game back is be genuine. Say 'look I brought this game and it really is terrible, can I exchange it' and they will invariably be so happy that you didn't try the 'my mate brought me this' bullshit they will offer you a full refund. It has worked every time for me in Game and Gamestation.

I never really tried that, as I have pretty much tolerated every game I have purchased. Though there was once a time when I brought this game called Bard's Tale Two and it was packaged with one of the essential gameing disk that was intended for the the first game in the series. This meant that I could create of party of adventurers and have them walk around the town of Skara Brae, but they could never actualley start the quest because I was given the wrong dungeon disk.

Though I never took the game back.

In those gays I wouldn't have dared or bothered.

Now I was suspicous that the store clerk might have been intenionally forcing goods from a inferior a shipment on me or this might be surprise to both of us.

Anyway, how does the expression worded in Latin go?

You know Buyer Beware.

I've generally been quite lucky with buying games. The last stinker I can remember was this.

It may be older than some boarders, though...

On the other hand I'm glad I didn't get this though

It was fun but I remember completing it at the first attempt.

i was bitterly dissapointed with call of jaurez,
bound in blood.

i really was looking forward to a great current gen upgrade of GUN, cowboys, horses and on.
what i got was a waste of my money. very slow, generic, i should trade it in really. but it irks me to not even have finished the game.
I AM VERY BUSY!
PJ Maybe and I use the same dictionary, live with it.
