Games That I Have had Spoiled as a Result of Being a Mod on GB

I'm truly honored being a member of the Giant Bomb mod community however it has come with its fair share of expected consequences. One of the most prevalent consequences is that wiki editing can spoil some big titles before I buy them. I'll try not to spoil anything for you guys here but it's best to be careful with this list:

1. Halo: Reach

Read the character bios when people made edits. Found out who makes it and who doesn't. Not exactly happy with this one and I definitely would have preferred that that information remain a surprise for when I play the game.

2. Halo 3: ODST

Pretty much the same thing.

3. Red Dead Redemption

Read the ending while looking over some edits on the wiki page for the game...Almost threw my mouse against the wall when this happened. This was a game I absolutely did not want having spoiled...This one sucks the most of all the games on my list I mean I was PISSED when this happened.

4. Heavy Rain

Read the character bios when a user made edits to them. Found out who the Origami Killer was as a result. Again not a happy moment when this happened.

5. BioShock 2

Deleted a thread that spoiled the ending/surprise but most importantly the motivations and motives of the various characters in the game.

6. Metroid: Other M

Samus has a back-story, and an interesting one at that. Noticed that there was a wiki entry titled MB. Read that and ruined the game for myself. Don't do that

7. Resident Evil 5

Not much there but the big reveal got ruined for me.

8. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

I was so careful as to not watch the later episodes until well over 5 months after they were published. Then I looked over some wiki edits and found out who the killer was...probably one of my angrier spoiler moments next to Red Dead Redemption.

9. Mirror's Edge

While reading over edits didn't realize that Mirror's Edge actually has an involving story. So much so that I got too involved in reading the wiki entry when someone edited the wiki page....

10. Deadly Premonition

Read some edits when the Deadly Premonition Endurance Run was still fresh in everyone's minds. The freshness came back to bite me in the ass (FK). I had no intention of playing Deadly Premonition anyways.

11. Tales of Vesperia

I might as well put every game in the Tales of series on this list but Vesperia gets the nod for being a game I actually wanted to buy but didn't after reading some tidying up edits the first month I was a mod.

12. Modern Warfare 2

Bought the game late and I was real careful until I first god my modship. Not a game noted for its story but knowing who the real bad guy was would have been best left to being a genuine surprise.

13. Valkyria Chronicles

Reading over wiki edits (it should be noted this wiki is AWESOME!) and spoiled the ending. Ehh I can't play the game due to a severe lack of Sony products in my home. No biggie.

14. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Wiki edits for this one. I have read about every character and relationship and even every betrayal. Not that big of an issue for me.

15. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Read the wiki while looking over wiki edits. Didn't really have any desire to play this game after watching it in motion and hearing the primary complaints by reviewers and gamers alike. In my book it was unfortunate but no biggie.

16. inFamous

The climax for the story was spoiled but similar to Valkyria Chronicles in that I can't play this game so whatever.
