When I first heard about Dante's Inferno, I thought it was pointless. Then I saw some gameplay footage, and I thought it might be OK. Now I've played the demo, and I know that it is stupid.

Filled with shouting, gratuitous nudity, and violence that is senseless even by video-game standards, the demo for Dante's Inferno is similar to watching the trailer for Smokin' Aces several times in a row, but it's worse because you're actually inflicting the stupidity upon yourself. None of it makes any sense; my theory is that when they tried to introduce Logic to the game, all the boobs distracted it. And then Dante stabbed it in the face.

Runner-up: Resident Evil 5.

I'm with you on both counts. The Dante demo struck me as immediately pointless which is pretty amazing considering you get to slay Death himself. And the RE5 demo all but turned me off to the game. It wasn't until I borrowed the real thing and played it with a friend that I discovered it's actually really fun.
