I hate most,but not all sports titles. I cant say I hate them,but these days am seriously tired of GTA stuff. I despise anything that has Tom Clancey on it. Anyone wondering what I mean by that can refer back to my GRAW review if its still up on Guru3d. f*cking clown shoes...

I think I forgot the Tomb Raider series. The original was fun enough at the time for Saturn & PSX, but I've never been able to play far into any others, except for clearing the latest version's demo on 360.

Jesus man, a lot of RE haters here. I don't really see why so many people here say it is crap. I remember playing RE 1 when it came out also along with RE 2 being fun for me as well. Sure the controls are wonky but once you get used to them it is no big damn deal. I just liked the story, the feel of environment, characters (not all) and weapons + awesome zombie action. RE 4 turned out to be really awesome since it geared away from the classic RE style which was getting old. Still after playing the RE 1 remake and also RE Zero for GC, I was just blown away with the presentation of these games. My least favorites though are RE 3 and Code Veronica.

I will admit though that it would have been much nicer if the controls where like Dino Crisis 2 which does have a much better control system that feels free. RE 2 on the N64 BTW has free control option with the analog which is really nice. RE 5 looks really fun with all the different things you can do like better action usage with kick, punch, push and using a machete instead of the weak ass knife.

Halo was always very boring for me and everyone at my college plays it like it is the best thing to ever happen to them. This series is very mediocre and I get more enjoyment playing all the Doom games and Return to Castle Wolfenstein any day.

Mortal Kombat died after 1995-96, remember that.

Tiger Woods They just keep changing the controls to frustrate people and yet it is still the same damn game.
My roommate just bought the new one for 360, ehhhhhh.

Need for Speed This series is just getting more and more retarded. Of course this goes for most racing games. Ridge Racer series back in the day especially Rage Racer was the only 3D racer series I liked.

Dot Hack nice try on the multi marketing and many games, but this was just a total hype that turned to complete crap.

And many more......

I hated Final Fantasy VII, but I did play through it and finish it....

Not a single character in the game I could get into. I played VIII for a few minutes but it looked really lame...

Big futuristic swords/guns... ???

IX looks somewhat fun. It's the only one past VI that I still own. I haven't really played it yet though.... someday...

To keranu: NBA Jam TE is totally my favorite in the series! I love using Baby Jordan (Harold Miner) on the Heat  8)

NBA Jam is pure classic. 8) I don't really think I had a favorite character so much, but the Bulls were probably my most used team. That's one game that I don't think will ever get old.

I'm personally tired of all of the sub-par FPS's being cranked out these days.  Unless it does something for the genre that hasn't been done before, I'm out.  Games I'm planning on playing are Halo 3, Killzone 2, Bioshock, Call of Duty 4 and Crysis (oh and probably UT3).

Final Fantasy VII: I have to admit that FFVII was my first RPG but soon after I was rather fortunate enough to start playing the great stuff like Phantasy Star II, Phantasy Star IV, and the Lunar series, I realized FFVII is overrated as hell. The only reason most people really love it is that it was their first exposure to RPGs. It is nowhere near the best FF game. In fact I think that game is where the series jumped the shark. Every following sequel got worse.

Grand Theft Auto: IMO Rockstar are game developers secretly hired by Senator John Lieberman, Jack Thompson, and Hilary Clinton to give video games a bad rep in America. GTA is trash at its worst. Only kids and lowlifes would want to play a game as a demented criminal who runs over women with a car. Sad that this sells millions when stuff like Zone of the Enders, PS2 Rygar, etc sell horribly.

Madden NFL: Ok I can see why that is so popular. Most American men love football. Realistic sports sims are so boring IMO. I'd rather play arcadey stuff like NFL Blitz or even Tecmo Bowl on NES over any Madden.

Pokemon: Ok it is not because the gamers are mostly for the younger crowd, it the fact you have to buy mulitcolored versions of the games to get all Pokemon. I think that is so retarded but hey at least the series is whats keeping Nintendo from being dethroned by Sony and Microsoft.

Any MMO that you have to pay every month: Scamming at its worst.

most sports games they are virtually all nuisances to play, especially against the people who usually play them (read: a$$holes.) there are a few exceptions to this rule:
Most wii sports games (except golf, golf can never be fun)
Virtua Tennis, DC
NBA Jam (many incarnations)
Ice Hockey, NES
And other sports games that aren't really sports games (excitebike, etc)

most FPSes. i still play them from time to time, but they all piss the hell out of me, cuz i suck at them.
No FPS can be good using a controller. this is a fact.
When I find myself in the mood for masochistic punishment, these are the games I play:
Halo and its sequels (mostly to be social; i still hate them)
Quake and its sequels
Unreal tournament (dreamcast)
BZFlag

GTA, its spawn, and its clones
Sure, running over the elderly, beating up hookers, shooting cops in the head, and taking down helicopters with a missile launcher is fun for a few hours, maybe even a weekend, but after that it gets boring, and never quite regains its appeal. The in game missions are boring, picky and generally not worth doing. definitely a 'rent, don't buy' series.

Final Fantasy
1,3,4 and 5 are great. Ever since 6, however, the series has lost its appeal for me. they're all so mind numbingly linear anymore. X-2 was a breath of fresh air, and a move in the right direction, but they've been moving away from that, not towards it. bad square, no fiddy.

1. Burning Rangers.  It's the pinnacle of what I hate about first-gen 3D gaming.  Getting lost in camera angles, and not being able to do simple stuff like jumping on the f*cking ledge right above you.
2. Madden series.  Man, I LOVE football (I live & breath college-ball), but I can't stand video game football.  Same goes for any "realistic" motorcycle games -- the real thing is sooo much better.  (though no motorcycle games are "popular").
3. Most post FFVII RPGs.  Got I hate sitting through 20 minutes of video, play 2 minutes, and play through another 15 minutes of FMV...  Can't stand them.
4. Grand Theft Auto.  Just don't care about driving around and doing stupid shit.  I'd much rather play Crazy Taxi for some crazy-drivin'.
5. Counterstrike.  *Yawn*

There are some others I'm not big fans of, but I can't say I hate 'em.  (Bonk, Nights, GTA)
