What is it with me and wasting my money on stupid games!
I bought South Park which wasted me £40...
I bought Settlers 4 which was great at first but now is really boring, that wasted me £25...
I've just bought Worms Blast because I thought that it would be good fun compared to World Party and Armageddon, it's more like Bubble Bobble! The two player is good fun but the one player is just super boring!
That was another £20 wasted...
Must read reviews or ask people about games before I buy them...

Heh! Great!
I think that if you waste a small amount of money on a poor game, it can be quite funny. I remember buying the hobbit for £2 for the Spectrum. I also remember having alot of joyous minutes, laughing uncontrolably whenever the screen read "I do not know the word 'Kill Dragon'" or "What do you mean by 'Eat Bra'"

I remember some American Football game on the Megadrive. Saw it in EB one day (YEARS ago!) and it was 32 quid. The next week, it had gone down to 16 quid. Then it was reduced to 8 quid. The next time I saw it it was only 4 quid so I bought it (not wondering why it had been constantly reduced :-D) and I have to say that it was well worth the money!
It was a terrible game. Really terrible. But it was soooo funny. I mean, whenever the other team had the ball, you'd set up your formation so that your entire team was just in a line. Then you'd charge at them!
When you had the ball, you could run laps around the field and get the entire opposing team to chase you. They'd all be packed be together and you'd be ahead of them all just running around the pitch. They'd never catch you.
It was so complicated too that I had no idea how to play it! But it was just so funny that I'm happy I bought it.
Oh and then there was the commentary! Just before you threw the ball, the commentator would say "HE LOOKS!" and your man would (from what I could make out anyway) put his hands up to his eyes and make binoculars.
Oh those were the days. Actually, no they weren't!

That was a shocking amount of money to spend at one time!
Foolish boy!

If you like strategy, get Civ 3. It may be about half a year old now, but its still brilliant fun.
I'm writing rant/review about Worms Blast now!
It's going straight back tommorow!
Anybody know of any good games I can buy for under £30?
I'm thinking about a copy of the Sims and Sims house party at the moment for £32, could go and buy that...
P.S I may be 17 but I look about 12 so buying 18 games is a no-no...
