Hear me out. We obsess over which game/movie/book/whatever is the best/most-horrible-abomination-ever-created-by-mankind. But which game/movie/ you get the idea, was the most average. The one that had glaring flaws but was not bad enough to the point where it made you want to stop.
What's the most average game you've played?

Modern Warfare 2.
An incredible statement of just how utterly, utterly bland and mediocre a game can be.

Frontlines: Fuel of War. It was a working game and the controls were alright, but the graphics were bland, the story was uninteresting, and the gunplay was nothing I haven't seen before.
Star Wars Episode 3 the game. It was a decent hack and slashy lightsaber game, but didn't really have any lasting appeal.
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.
I got sooooo close to the end, then the game glitched and changed my character permanently to that stupid mohawk guy. I was the fast-running, smarmy Jennifer...then I became faster-health regen guy with really annoying personality. I never beat it...
But it was average. Most of the bits worked as they should: You shoot the peoples, they fall down.
But all it really had going for itself was the airstrikes.

Uhhh...Canabalt.
Very average. Although actually, I might be using that to mean 'boring'. So that would make it bad, not average...
Hard to think of one.
Most Tower Defence games qualify. The few that are original (Dungeon Defender, for instance), often get lost in the mire with the rest.
As for a specific game...Micro Machines v3, if you twist my arm. Loved the original Micro Machines on Sega Mega Drive (you could JUMP! In a CAR! To my mind, at the time, that was awe-inspiring). MMv3 was just meh.
I'd say FFXII too but I think that can be filed under 'boring/bad', too.

Dragon Age: Origins.
Honestly, if i'm sleep deprived, i literally have to check to make sure whether i'm playing it or neverwinter nights. All of bioware's rpgs(except mass effect) run together in a sea of brown, with dragon age being the king of brown and neverwinter nights is the queen of grey.

inb4 Hal- oh god dammit.
I dunno...I have a very simple scale for games. Did I enjoy it? Then I say it's good. Did I NOT enjoy it? I say it's bad. There is very little middle ground on the matter, but in terms of games that I had no strong feelings for one way of the other, I'm gonna go with Uncharted.
