FIFA - for me the worst game from 1 to 1000000000 place. The most ugliest graphics ever not to mention gameplay. This game is stuc in year 1995. And with every release they are saying that they are changing 100000 things and the final result is crap like always. They need to change development team like they did with NFS.
SHIFT was nice too little too easy.
Resident Evil 5
Bioshock
Metal Gear Solid 2 - little outdated graphics but great story.
Riddick both
F.E.A.R series especially the last one
Witcher I didn`t not finished the game but that is one great game.
Splinter Cell
And others :D.

Stalker. 'nuff said on that one.

Overlord. Urgh.

COD: WaW - Its a shame that MW set the bar so high, this just failed to impress on so many levels.

CB's Jericho - worlds sweatiest game? Everythings just wet. like all over.
