Have you ever wanted a game for your Birthday/Anniversary/Xmas and ended up with aunt Ethel getting you the wrong thing?

For example, When the Dreamcast first came around I was lucky to know I was getting one for Christmas. This was extra special because I had missed a generation of gaming, the Mega Drive (US= Genesis) being the last (and first) major console I had. After careful deliberation I decided to ask for Soul Calibur to go with it. Finally when Xmas came around I woke up the family at 6:30 in the morning, just to get to my beloved quicker. Furious unwrapping ensued. Finally when I got to the games my face dropped. I was devastated. I couldn't bare to tell my parents that they got the wrong thing. So I plastered on a shit eating grin and thanked then all the same. How could they have known better? I got Soul Fighter. The magazines said it was gash, and they where right. The demo disk that came with the console got more play that abomination.

    Back before people sucked Bethesda cock they released a game called "The Terminator", which I got for a birthday many many years ago. I was happy, at first. Then I installed and played it. The Terminator is one of the worst pieces of shit I ever had the misfortune of playing, and that is where my hate affair with Bethesda began. They still make shit, only now it's pretty shit, but they're still shit.

    It made me sad that when I asked my nephew what game he wants for Xmas he replied "Skyrim".

    "You poor innocent but soon to be violated little fucker" I thought

    Mine was kinda like this except i would ask for a present and on Christmas when we were opening present, he games i wanted were half the time addressed to my brother. On the outside was smiling but on the inside i knew i was going to murder him for that copy of Jak II or Guitar Hero.
