I'm going to say Killing Floor. You shoot zombies, get money, buy guns, rinse and repeat. Nothing to it but a half decent way to kill an hour.
It's one of the multiplayer crowd though, same thing as TF2, DotA, LoL and a lot of things. The focus is on the way that people use the mechanics. I've never found Killing Floor boring as long as I've been trying different classes. Same way that MOBA games have excellent longevity if you just mix up team compositions and try to turn the Mage into a Tank every now and again.*

Probably... Brink. A bunch of interesting ideas for a multiplayer shooter and an interesting story and setting, but mashed together so the story went nowhere. And the polish was severely lacking, so balance felt incredibly wonky and the pacing of fights was all over the place. Brink could have worked, but it would have taken far more time than the devs had.**

Honourable mentions go to Vanilla Halo Games in general. I absolutely love playing Infection or Juggernaut or any of a massive range of custom maps and modes. Hell, I made a Ghostbusters mode for Reach. But the vanilla multiplayer feels like it's caught on the fence between arcadey-Quake/Unreal and stompy-cover-cover Call of Duty or Battlefield, and the basic guns feel pathetic.

* Not that these games are immune to getting stale, of course.

** I found the HL2 mod Dystopia had most of these features though, so I didn't stay disappointed for long.

Almost anything with a "3" in the end the couple years. The God of War series, ME3 (Oh how I wanted to love you)

LOL.

That would actually have been a plus if it was me. I love details like that :)
Oh, it gets even "better" after that when said "army" charges about 300 meters down a hill towards an Oblivion gate.
It looks like a community theater rendition of the finale in The Return of the King (Lord of the Rings).

EDIT: Er, not Two Towers.
Well, the game is a bit old... I think.


Still thougt, yeah Oblivion wasnt exactly as good as everyone said. But again, it IS a litte old.

Halo is this for me. I seriously consider it the epitome of mediocrity. The most boring thing you can get without actually being bad.

Dead Island for me. When I talk about it with friends, I always call it "7 out of 10: The Game"

To good to be bad, to glitchy tropey and repetitive to be good. Strictly "meh."
