CoD--Boring, and involves boring and cheap tactics to get rewards. Poor design concept in my eyes.
Heavy Rain-Horrible Horrible looking and animated game. Liked the concept, played all scenerios, but it looked "dated". I believe development was too long.
Oblivion- not a fan of how it's played, hands in front of screen, why i didn't play Bioshock. Though I do plan i getting new Elder Scrolls game this Nov. I'll give it a shot.

What?? Did you play the final product? the graphics are stunning! :|
All in all I think we can say that pretty much every single hyped game has a lot of people who don't like it.
I try to explore a lot of different genres of gaming, and not the usual action/adventure I played a lot of when I was younger, but there still are some games which aren't appealing at all for me.
Please read this because it took an effort to write it! LOL!
Little Big Planet is a game that i do not understand. It seems to work on a different level. It encourages you, allegedly, to be more social-minded (i downloaded someone's level so now i am socialising ... yeah ok... ) AND creative. Creative by putting together (like Lego Bricks) levels that would have been that level on a Sonic game that you practised on to get a feel for the controls. Despite it's cute looks i firmly believe thatit's manipulative. And so is Modnation Racers.
The entire Final Fantasy series. Tried getting into it mutliple times, from the snes to the ps2, and never really did. I've played several FF's and haven't finished any of them. LBP = over-rated garbage. MGS series. Never tried getting into them, never will. Dragon Age. Not at all what i was expecting, way too much strategy for my taste. I wanted something similar to KotOR but DA didn't deliver.
GTA4 i reached the second island but not without days of not playing it and some days of just living up the gameplay with mindless murdering and crashing cars... But then i got bored. Assassins Creed 1 was very boring to start with but i enjoyed it in the end, always liked the historical espionage of assassins and templars so was fun to actually be one of them. Recent Cod games are just clearly moneymakers, i liked WaW way more than the others.
Basically every FPS on PS3, because I prefer Mouse/Keyboard for FPS games. I also completly ignore titles like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, simply not my type of game. The highly overrated Assassins Creed 1 kept me away from the Franchise for quite some time, but I'm glad I gave it a 2nd chance with AC2 and my next game to buy is AC: Brotherhood.
Oh and a Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe was a big personal disappointment too, but it is not really a "big-name".
god of war series: cheap hack and slash that butchered Greek mythology mass effect 2: a 3rd person shooter with light rpg elements and a ok scifi story
Final Fantasy 13 is a big for me, I've played most of the FF games but I didn't even blink an eye when 13 was released....I guess i'll throw in Fallout 3 too I picked up the GOTY edition a few weeks ago and i'm still waiting to see what all the fuss is about.
Rock Band/Guitar Hero series- They're fun. that's all. But people have made a really big deal about these games. Assasins Creed brotherhood- I think they are running out of ideas, and are just including anything that comes to they mind.
@lovetheblindone No GTA? No God of War? No Ico? No SotC? are f***** serious!? Whats your favorite game, Sly Cooper? As for me, it would have to be AC. I respect the storyline and the cinematic detail, but the gameplay is SO repetitive Also, Resistance. Never tried one, never will
The first Assassins Creed. What a steaming pile o' poo.
That game was so damned overrated it was not even funny. Tedious and repetitive certainly come to mind.
I also bought and did not enjoy Army of Two. I just didn't like the mechanics of the game at all. But my son loved it so it wasn't a total waste.

Good god was Army of Two a terrible game. I also dislike both COD WaW and BO. BO was a step back from MW2 in terms of gameplay and graphics. The only thing they did was balance the weapons better. The perks aren't balanced at all and the map design is pretty terrible.
Dragon Age. I mean, I was interested, but I played it and.... Its just not interesting. Also, Littlebigplanet. I'm intrigued by the idea, but after playing the first one I can really live without it. MrSelf-Destruct
I HATED DRAGON AGE SOOOO MUCH, so much rage when i think about that game. also Assasins Creed 2 . Fallout3, but I liked new vegas for some reason. The Newest FF THe orange box (only good for portal and Team fortress) Im sure theres more but I cant think of any
I don't like fallout much, iv been playing fallout 3 for a few hours and im just not liking it much. Also COD doesn't interest me much.

That's funny because Fallout 3 is probably the ONLY big name game from this gen that I really like. It's too bad FNV was complete crap.
Seriously though, the Bioware games bore me to hell, the COD games (and the others like that) all seem very genric (good for a few mins but bore quickly), R* seems to be getting too pretentious like they're trying too hard to convince everyone that they're grownups & don't know how to have fun anymore, Criterion syphoned all the fun out of Burnout, and every "exclusive" game on either platform seems to get overrated beyond recognition. I'm serious, I played Heavy Rain and couldn't figure out why QTEs are all of a sudden considered very innovative.
