Planescape: Torment.
Sooo...you're this recently-deceased fellow who may or may not be blue, and you have to go around trying to find out why you're dead--only you're not actually y'know, dead--and pretty much the last few hours are one giant mind-fuck orgy.

Uhm, idk... From the box-art, like whats on the box? Oblivion is sort of hard to explain I guess... "So its a map... And this here emblem thing is like an obliviongate to a demon world where this evil prince is plotting to take over the place we live which used to be his old domain and you have to do some random quests to save the world... Uhm, yeah!".
And yeah, Niko... That Easter European bastard...
Exscuse me! Are you insinuating that a man cannot be named Abdul Ali Mohammad and NOT be from the Middle East?! How dare you! *cough*ForgottenPr0digy said:

So, you're this Italian Plumber who's trying to rescue a girl from King Kong...and he's throwing barrels at you...which turn into fireballs...which follow you.
And then you go into this fantasy kingdom where you stomp on walking mushrooms...
And then you race against those mushrooms and the monkey...
And then you have to run around with a water hose, cleaning up all the mess you left...
And then you fly into space...
Tell me, how was your relationship with your parents?

Too Human.
Your a cybernetically enhanced man-god-thing who is fighting robots trying to save humanity. It's set in the past, even though they have much cooler technology than we do. It also is based on Norse mythology.

Bioshock: Right, so you're this effectively faceless bloke, and your goal is to kill big diving suit wearing dudes and steal blood out of little girls.
Modern Warfare 2
Theres a guy, with a gun, and a bombed St. Paul Cathedral, and it's meant to be good and there's a snowmobile.

I always wondered what people thought when they saw the box for Katamari Damacy in the store and didn't know what it was.

In general I rarely try and explain games unless it's trying to convince another gamer to play them.
The only time I really feel like I might need to justify myself is if the artwork seems too kiddy-kiddy. I was self conscious playing Pokemon, and to a lesser extent "Class Of Heroes".

The Sims
It's easy to explain the concept, but it's hard to explain why it counts as "fun" or "a game"

There was a cathedral? Never noticed that. Then again, the game was kinda "meh".TerribleAssassin said:
Uh, well, see the creators never really got that far. I suppose if you really want to, you can wipe out all life everywhere......hmm? Yeah, kinda like reality, except you get bigger nukes.
Or
Yes. Yes you do. -response to the question everyone asked in their minds when first viewing the game. "Do I have to kill that?"
Also, you get perhaps the best horse in any game ever.
Also, the love interest doesn't talk.
Yes, it's the greatest game ever.
ps.
You can also jack and eagle and fly it over canyons.
