I just couldn't get into the huge hype over the Halo series. To me, it was shit in every way. To others though, they bragged it off as though it was game-of-the-year material.

Swallow your sugar pills, inject your saline, breath in some hydroxide mist and have a nice day.

I couldn't get into GTA IV, everyone was shitting pancakes, while I was speeding through the campaign, after that, I just didn't know what to do with the fucking thing.

Now it's collecting dust.

Gears of War 1 and 2, almost all sports games (Madden, FIFA, MLB etc.), Wii Sports (and all the other "Wii: whatever" games), Forza 2, and the Metal Gear series.

The Metroid Prime Series.

I've heard a lot about the series, about it's puzzles and cool gameplay, but I just couldn't get into it. It just felt like a crappy Halo Ripoff with ball segments. Sorry Nintendo.

assassin's creed on the pc, i played it for about two days and the controls were stiff, i couldn't perform some actions without suiciding (for example, wallrunning leads to me jumping into some black abyss and shit.)

far cry 2, played the multiplayer which was pretty fun until you can get past the weapon orientated maps (for example, maps are sometimes so big that the encounter on enemies at mid-close range is like 1/100, sniper rifles are a virtue at that point). couldn't get into SP because the malaria shit gets in the way of the freeroaming aspect of the game.

bully:TSE, played the first few missions, wasn't that enjoyable since the controls were shit. besides the main character is a complete idiot and he's not enjoyable to play with; weeh look at me, my mom is a slut and i hate school and authority.

metal gear solid after i used some explosives to blow up walls with concrete i lost all respect for the whole stealth factor.

I also didn't get into ocarina of time or majoras mask until i was 13. I got both when they were new which means it took me three years to get into ocarina of time.

The original Gears of War. I don't know what it is with me, but I seemed to like Gears 2 much better.

I really couldn't get into GTA San Andreas. I just couldn't see what the fuss was about, with it scoring near perfect scores everywhere, but to me it was just an average game, with very little focus.

The Halo games. I found them to be boring.

There is no such thing as someone who doesn't like the PS3, there is only poor people who can't afford one. PS3 owners pity you and hope you can one day get out of poverty.

The Guitar Hero series is overrated. It's pretty boring, just pressing buttons in time with colorful moving crap on a screen. I don't like it. I'm also really bad at it, but that has nothing to do with me not liking it.

One of the few Wii games worth playing. I just haven't really played into it that much. I should do though.

The same goes for No More Heroes... but that might be due to me having the UK version?

Prepare for unforeseen consequences.

Ocarina of Time.

I'm sorry, but I played this after Twilight Princess and I can safely say it's VASTLY overrated. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game in its own right, but the dungeons ranged from confusing challenging to confusing stupid (Except for the first, because it's almost completely linear).

Half-Life 2. sorry, but for a shooter i want to, you know? shoot something, not 30 minutes of stacking boxes and turning valves before one firefight. it was just boring. Episode Two was much better though, lots of action.

It's not the post counts,
It's the posts that count...

Most EA Sports games are annoying. Especially Fifa. Pretty weird of me to hate it, all my friends play it. I think that's what pisses me off about it.

In ancient days, men looked into the stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.

Any Zelda for a handheld, which is odd because I loved the original Zelda which followed a similar format.

I never found myself interested in the HALO series. I never even completed the first one if you can believe it. I just never found it facinating
