Gears of War. Just never got around to it, or had another game that looked more interesting to play. Hope to pick it up one of these days, though. Always hear good things about the smooth combat system.
Mass Effect. Mainly it's cuz my PC sucks and I don't have a 360.
I'm getting Mass Effect 2 soon though. c:
And I'm still not sure what Starcraft is even about...

The most glaringly noticeable one is Pokemon. My first exposure to it was the collectible card game, which I considered to be a vastly inferior ripoff of Magic: the Gathering... and then I noticed some of the rules of Magic changing with new editions to something more akin to that Pokemon game I played once... so I hated all things Pokemon for awhile. Now, I'm ambivalent towards it.
Aside from that, I've never played more than an hour or so of any console-exclusive shooter... though my roommate recently showed me that you can, in fact, play some shooters on the PS3 with a keyboard and mouse.
I've never played Uncharted (or 2).
I tried Assassin's Creed...I really tried to like it, because I love the concept... but I found the execution of the game terrible and nigh-unplayable... and that made me sad.
I never got into any Call of Duty game. I played COD4 a bit, but my character's ability to shrug off bullets with little effect (and no lasting effect) was rather immersion breaking in a game that was trying so hard to be "realistic". As for the WWII ones... I was one of those Medal of Honor heretics.
I've never even tried a Burnout game. Saw one played once, and it looked like the sort of silly, brainless fun that I can get into when I'm looking to shut my brain off, but I've never actually gotten around to acquiring a copy.
Fable. Tried the first game (on PC), found the story and game world to be quite lackluster (generic fantasy world/story #138,682,379) and the combat to be... awkward. Sort of unwieldy, clunky, unresponsive, I suppose. I quit about three hours in and never tried the sequels.
...
Does Metal Gear count if I played and beat both of the NES games as a kid, played through and enjoyed Metal Gear Solid on PS1, but when I tried Metal Gear Solid 2 I hated the control scheme so badly that I promptly quit the series and never looked back?
How about Halo? I played it on PC, beat the single player campaign rather easily (I think I actually put more time into Fable before I quit it), thought
That's it? That's what everyone is raving about? How many years of production to produce this rather ordinary sci-fi shooter? ...Marathon was more fun.
...and never played another one.

Never played Call of Duty, Killzone, Legacy of Kain, Fallout, Mass Effect, Uncharted, or any PC exclusives.
I just recently knocked Hitman, Splinter Cell, and Castlevania off the list over the summer, and I'm about to do the same with Fallout 3, since I just popped it into my PS3. I got Uncharted 2 for Xmas, so that'll follow soon after, and Mass effect will have to wait til I get a new 360.
I might eventually get around to COD since every gamer I know seems to have MW2 and Black Ops, and looks at me funny when I tell them I don't have or plan on getting either.

I tried to get into Final Fantasy so I ended up getting FFXII for Christmas. I kinda liked it, but it wasn't earth shattering. I eventually got fed up with the repetitive combat and hard to follow story and decided to play some more Sly Cooper.
I've managed to ENTIRELY miss Castlevania, Resident Evil, most of Final Fantasy, all of Sonic, Metal Gear.
