For me it's Knights of the Old Republic. No matter how hard I try I just can't get into those games. It's weird too because I'm a huge Star Wars and RPG fan. But those games just don't do anything for me.

Madden. My job deals with football, so the usually last thing I want to do when I get home after working on football stuff all day is see more football, not to mention that it seems to be the same package every year dressed up in different wrapping. Besides, college > NFL

Other than that, I'd say Burnout, Gran Turismo and Virtua Fighter.

I could never really get into the Resident Evil series...it just always seemed too slow for my preferences. That being said, I never really gave them much of a chance, so it's possible that I would be able to get into the games if I had given them more of my time.

Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, Hitman... any stealth game... If I can't run up and stab a crowd of people in their faces... then the game isn't for me.

Star Wars series. I liked the movies 4, 5, and 6 growing up and then later on I somewhat liked 1, 2, and 3 when I was a bit older. But, no matter how hard I try, I can't get into the games for Star Wars. And I love rpg's. I'm sure there will come a time down the road when I want to revisit some classics and want it to be something I haven't played before and end up getting them and actually getting into them and playing them.

I get weird urges like that sometimes, I won't like something at first, and then later on down the road I will fall in love with it. Same thing happened with me and the Halo series. I purchased Halo 1 the day it was released, played it a few times, never really cared for it that much, even linked up xbox's on the weekends and played some 6 vs 6, but I only really did it to pass the time and hang out with my friends. Well I had put Halo away for quite some time, and then about 4 or 5 months before the release of halo 2 I picked up Halo 1 again and started playing it, and I caught Halo fever bad. I couldn't get enough of it, and I was trying to get all my friends over every night of the week to link up xbox's and get some small tournies going on.

Halo for sure. I've played plenty of better FPSes. Halo 3 just turned me off of the franchise even more after being promised the world and given Antartica.

Devil May Cry. Tried all three games and just couldn't get into any of them, no matter how much I wanted to. I'm finally learning after my third mistake though, and I'm not interested at all in DMC4...

Metal Gear Solid...I'm sorry but the whole Story is totally messed up, it just doesn't make any sense, and don't let me get started on some of the characters lol...---The music I love though, the main theme is cool!

Pretty much FPS's in general. It seems that's all most people care about anymore. And I think its pretty screwed up some of them simulate a real war that is going on right now, or ones in the past, where real people died and suffered. Fantasy is fine like Halo or whatever, but I don't see why people find a real war entertaining to play. I mean its packaged as a product and people make money off it. I like games that take me into some great world that could never exisit. I don't like games that just simulate the worst side of ourselves.. Or maybe I think too much about things.

The story DOES make sense it's just really complicated. You can't fully understand it until you play the games a few times through. One of the main reasons why I like MGS so much is because of the story and the characters.

Oh that's another one. I loved Zelda up till Wind Waker, and it's been downhill since then.

Never liked Metroid from the start.

For me it's the Battlefield series. Even though I bought quite a bit of the series, I never actually played for more than a total of.. 2 hours maybe, probably even less.

Need for Speed (they're all the same, too easy, boring, and unrealistic)

Rachet & Clank (I dunno, just never liked it, and I found the humor was anything but funny)

Jak & Daxter (Disliked it for similiar reasons as Ratchet and Clank)

Fifa (I dislike soccer as a game, and I loathe FIFA)

Tekken (Just never got into it)

Warcraft (just never got into it)

Spyro(Back in the PS1/N64 days, it just seemed like a lame version of Banjo Kazooie)

GTA (lame as hell)

mercenaries (rated 't' for teen because there no blood in it)

fable (crappy game imo)

dmc (because it is too hard, almost impossible)
