i see alot of ppl not liking guitar hero, and rock band.. you are of course entitled to your oppinion, but i (as a real guitarist, blues, metal etc) love these games, and i like to witness first hand the mechanics in them, i fully live and breathe the song i play on guitar hero or rock band (someone said ppl looked like zombies?) of course i would rather play my real guitar infront of a crowd, but as far as relaxation and party games go, they both rule imo.
Gran Turismo (ever since 4, it is the definition of too little too late plus Forza delivers), Metal Gear Solid, Halo, Soul Calibur, Final Fantasy, God of War.
Bioshock. I don't get what the big deal is. System shock 1 & 2 were way better. The only part I liked was the dentist level with the crazy nurse, the rest was boring. I finished it, but only because I forced myself to do so.
I have to say Fallout 3 and the Orange Box. Fallout 3 was just boring and the Orange box wasn't my type of game to play, especially the awful Motion Sickness when I was playing Half life 2 on it. I respect people for liking these games, but for me, I don't like it. BTW: OP, I think Mass Effect is one of the best games this Gen, but thats my opinion.
Being a real guitarist I don't find these music games particularly fun as they require little skill and the idea of pushing buttons in time to music just isn't fun. Give me real instruments any day.
I tried really hard to like fable 2, but 10 hours later I was just so bored with it that I couldn't get myself to go back and play it anymore; and this is coming from someone who loves rpgs.
I can't even begin to describe how boring I thought Fallout 3 was. It's such an odd feeling when you're playing a game that everybody seems to love and has received tons of great reviews, and you're sitting there thinking "Really? Is this the same game they were talking about?" I wish I could see what it was about that game that people seemed to enjoy so much. And no, I don't hate it just because I sucked or something.
For me it's Left 4 Dead. I do not know why this game is popular at all. The Source Engine just feels really dated. The fire looks like a cardboard cutout. Of course the game still got great reviews just because Valve made it. The super generic guns don't do anything to help the cause, either. I played the game for a day and then sold it. I'll take Nazi Zombies any day over this crap, and that's just a side game on WaW. At least the zombies look like zombies and there's some real tension involved in it. Treyarch needs to make a full Zombie game.
Star Wars The force unleashed. Catherine loved the game, I thought it was O.K but Catherine really liked it. The force unleahed is a good concept and is rated well by the reviewers. But I just wasn't enjoying this one so much. The apprentice sotyline was good, Catherine loved it and the gameplay. I just wasn't felling the magic on this game. Lots of people like this game. I did not.
Knights of the Old Republic. I... really don't like it. That's why I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like Mass Effect either.

That's what I thought. I couldn't stand KOTOR either but when I played Mass Effect it was a great experience. Mass Effect is like a shooter perfectly fused with RPG elements. I played it THREE TIMES through it was so good. Don't judge Mass Effect by your experience with KOTOR--they are 2 very different games. The only problems with Mass Effect are framerate issues when lots of enemies get on the screen. As far as RPG side goes, ME won't bore you, and if it does you can just ignore the story and blast your way through.
Im not a fan of Battlefield: Bad CompanyDaveyBoy123
I didn't like it either when I downloaded the demo, but when I actually bought the game used for $18 and started playing the campaign, I realized how much it rocked. It reminded me of the old PC game Delta Force that I played eons ago, except with vehicles and completely destructible environment. When you get used to the grainy graphics and adjust the sensitivity of the controller, you will see how great this game is. I just finished it last night on my second playthrough on Hard difficulty. At first I thought the story was ridiculous, but then I soon realized that it was hilarious! Give it a second chance!
Okay, so to answer the OT, I will have to go with Halo 3. I bought it when it first came out, and played through the campaign, and then did the multiplayer. I got good in MP and soon got to Captain Grade 2, but then it got boring. Not many maps and you just rush and bash, rush and bash. I don't understand why people still like it. COD4 came out a few months later and blew it out of the water on every level. I own Halo 3 and I will keep it forever because it's a classic, but it makes me sick to actually play it.
I don't like Halo 3, or the Halo series for that matter I honeslty don't see the appeal in it all you do is shoot bad guys watch cutscene that makes no sense, story wise, then do a vehicle segment while shooting more enemies and your done and multiplayer isn't much different.
Has to be Halo for me. Don't get me wrong, I loved the first game. It had incredible graphics for the time and the combat felt tight.
But where did the series go from there? Other FPS games came along that advanced the genre while Halo just stayed the same. What's their big selling point for ODST? "You can now use a pistol that can zoom". Wow! They brought back a pistol from the first Halo and we're supposed to be excited about this?
Master Chief is also the worst name from a protagonist in any game I've played.
