Most FPS games or shooter games like Halo 3, Mafia 2, Kane & Lynch: Dead men, Call of duty: Black ops and also puzzle games like Portal, but i might go back to it just for the dark humour.

1 adventure games. Even good ones like MI and Sam&Max, unless you develop amnesia.
2 puzzle games that don't randomize, like portal
3 anything you don't like

Alan Wake. I played it once through and had a decent enough time with it. I just don't feel like playing it again anytime soon.

Pretty much every single-player puzzler/platformer/adventure-styled game out there.

I'm talking everything from the likes of Braid, Limbo, Professor Laytons, Portal, and the like.

Don't get me wrong, these kinds of games are generally amazing fun and rewarding to play the first time through, but once you've solved the puzzle and gotten the plot, going back and playing them again is generally just Doing the Motions with none of the reward. The only way they could really be at all replayable is to come back to them after you've forgotten all of the solutions...

Well, if I had to pick one game that has absolutely no replay value whatsoever without modifying/breaking the game itself, I'd probably say One Chance. [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/555181]

...Do I win?

Pretty much this, It's more of an interactive story, asides from achivements there isn't really any point to replaying it.

It's still a really good game though.

Portal. I love the games, but on the second try, you know all the puzzles.

Saints Row 2. Not much replay actually. I'd go for most Sandbox titles.

Portal's replay value (both games) is actually kind of poor, seeing as once you know the puzzles it's less satisfying to go through them again.

Only reason to keep it installed is for new content in the form of custom maps or DLC maps.

Aquaman and Drake of the 99 Dragons. Why you would want to evens tart either is beyond my comprehension, but if you make it through both without quiting at all, you'll never want to play again.

Any puzzle game ever that doesn't have randomized puzzles. Doing them again is not fun.

Enslaved/Bioshock 2/ Lost Planet 1/Darwnina/Mirrors Edge (if you even manage to tolerate it)/Prince of persias from warrior within-beyond/Singularity...

Im sure there are plenty more only I dont want to root through my Xbox previously played games list to figure them all out.

Almost any singleplayer game, excluding ones which allow for many paths (a la Indiana Jones).

I'll probably get a lot of flak for this but I'd say Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines. If you play anything other than Malkavian on your first playthrough, you can replay it once (as Malk) and have an entertaining experience. That's purely for the dialogue though. The game is incredibly linear, and when I started a new playthrough after finishing the game with a Malkavian, this became painfully apparent. I just didn't have fun with it anymore. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved this game when I first played it. I quite enjoyed it when playing as Malkavian on my second playthrough, but as I said that was only due to the changed dialogue. I tried playing it a third time, first as Nosferatu and then as Tremere (I think that's what they were called; the mage types anyway) but I just got bored and frustrated.

heavy rain (what? that was it!?)
fallout 3 and oblivion (finally got to the end of them and got rid!)
batman arkham asylum (what? I didn't enjoy it)

fable II and III (I made the huge mistake of thinking they would have learnt from their mistakes in fable II and bought III, seems it was my mistake!)

I thought the same, but funny enough I played it again recently and it was great - there's something addictive about the atmosphere in that game, even if the combat is a bit lacking.

I wouldn't say Heavy Rain has no replay value, but despite all the choices it isn't very fun to play it again. Especially if you get the "best" ending.

All the people saying first person shooters and action games surprise me. For me, those games are played for the gameplay, not because of the story or the secrets. True, you remember where you encounter much of the enemies, but the AI usually makes things a little different on that front. I've played the first FEAR game 3-4 times, long after the 'scary' bits and ambushes lost their surprise factors, because shooting crap is fun.

For me, it's any story-driven game where the gameplay itself is fairly weak. See most JRPGs. Some avoid this fate by allowing class changes with multiple possible combinations for the party members in order to keep party building interesting. Most don't, though.
