1) Modern Warfare 3 - Story was good.... and that's about it. Multiplayer falls flat and isn't enjoyable in the slightest. In fact, it's like that with every Infinity Ward game.
2) Halo: Reach - I'm a big Halo fan. And I enjoy all the games... besides Halo: Reach. I went to the midnight release, was so hyped to play it, played it for a month and then just lost interest altogether. Gameplay was worse. The story wasn't even a story, because everyone should know that Reach falls (I mean, the book is even called "The Fall of Reach" for crying out loud).
3) Hitman: Blood Money - I enjoyed #2 and #3 a lot. Fun games. I was always told that Blood Money is the best game in the series, by far. So of course, when I actually tried to play it... it fell flat. Very very flat. Gameplay just wasn't on par. And that's a deal-breaker. A game can have a fantastic story, but the gameplay has to be good to be enjoyable. It's why I gave up playing Assault on Dark Athena. Oh, what a coincidence...
4) Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena - One of my best friends says that this game was the best stealth game he's ever played. And I take that on a high note because he hates stealth games (Doesn't hate stealth, just hates the games that are really focused on it). So... I get to play it and the gameplay was so bad.
5) Minecraft - I love this game. It's probably in my top 5 games of all time. But yet I can see exactly why it's overrated. If you're just playing it vanilla, it can become pretty boring pretty quick. Having to go mining for all the stuff you need. Being an adventurer. Dealing with creepers. But to me, that's what makes the game so fun. The exploring. Some people think that it's a game to see who can build the biggest stuff, or the best stuff. When it's clearly not like that. The game features a lot of... well, farming. And I don't mean that in the literal term (though you can actually be a farmer if you wanted to). And a lot of the time, that's extremely tedious and very boring. And I can see that as a turn-off for the game.
But playing on the PC mostly, I now play with mods. And mods make the game way more interesting. the 2 big ones I use are Tale of Kingdoms and DivineRPG. Tale of Kingdoms, is kind of a short mod which could be beaten in a quite a few hours. But the whole point of that is that you're king over your own kingdom and in order to be that king, you have to be worthy and to be worthy you have to kill enemies, save the lost villagers or kill people at this camp (I don't know the exact term for it). But I find it very useful mixed in with DivineRPG, which adds like 8 new dimensions, 150 new mobs, like 10 bosses, A LOT of new items. If you guys want to see what these mods are like. Go and watch CaptainSparklez' Modded Survival series on YouTube. He's got 51 episodes so far and he's nowhere near done yet.
