Bioshock: I don't do well with horror-ish games, or serious games at all for that matter, but this one at least made me listen for a while before I got bored and went back to shooting cartoons and zombies.
Also Oblivion, although I didn't particularly enjoy it (Probably because I tried to stealth through the main quest), any game where the developers give you upwards of 100 hours of gameplay deserves respect.

Ghost Recon. Because the box keeps my desk level and the CD makes a good coaster.
Nah, I'm just bad at the game, but I understand how it's a good game to people that aren't rubbish at the genre.

For me, it's MOST of the games that come out of Japan. I often care little about the story and characters because, even if they may be "compelling" and well written and acted, the cultural differences are great enough that I generally find them to be distasteful to associate with for long periods.
In other cases, such as your average JRPG, even were I to enjoy the story, the simple fact that I don't care for the core combat mechanics that take up most of the game combined with the sheer amount of grinding one is expected to do means I'll probably never see such a game to the end.
Of course, I can recognize that even though many of these games are openly hostile to my pursuit of fun, there are often millions of people who completely disagree. As such, I can assume that the very things I do not like about many of the games from Japan are the very things that the fans enjoy.

Any RTS game. I really dont find them to be fun, but I see why other people do. I dont like ordering groups of units to do things and then watch the action, I want to be a unit in the group performing the action.
Halo. Like it or not it changed the fps world for ever. Maybe not with game mechanics and yea blah blah it's been done before. But smashing down the fps barriers and really bringing them to the forefront of game genres.
