I love FPS games, and I think I'm pretty good when I manage to beat them on the highest difficulty on single campaign. But then I try playing online and get completely emasculated...
RTS games. I always think that i have some skill in the game while doing campaign, then get my ass handed to me the first time I go online. But, I keep going back for some reason.
FPS and RTS. I love these genres so much, yet when I play against an actual person I die so quick you'd think I didn't have fingers.
RTSes like StarCraft and WarCraft. I'm absolutely atrocious at them, but they're some of my favouritest games ever.
Point-and-Click Adventure games!
I am so incomprehensibly shit at them that I can't even complete the simplest tasks without a full walkthrough printed out in front of me. Which sadly means the games lose their appeal because its basically like watching a movie where I have to keep pausing it, reading something, and then doing the right amount of mouse clicks to proceed.
If I could actually play adventure games probably I would LOVE them, some of them have wonderful stories and humor that I rarely get from my preferred genres, yet I crave so much. But sadly whenever I've tried playing them properly I fail miserably at simple "adventure game logic"

Any FPS when played online. My highest killstreak in MW2 is 4 and I usually end up with a 1:6 K/D ratio
FPS. Especially the Call of Duty games. I don't know what happened, really, I used to kick ass at Goldeneye.
There are two I know at suck at, probably more that I won't admit to:
Fighting games, at least ones which have been designed with any kind of complexity or character balance (lookin' at you, Guilty Gear XX^Core+.) I've never quite figured out the nuances of feints or move cancels. I'm pretty good at SMBB, but while I actually like the game I feel it's more "social lubricant" than "fighting game."
Real-Time Strategy: I'm just not enough of a micromultitasker, and I always seen to shore up defenses when I should be attacking and attack when I need the troops at base.

RTS. im too busy worrying about my money and less about my army/defenses. i usually cheat or crank down the difficulty.
