Sort of had trouble getting into BioShock. The story was brilliant and the neat steampunk setting was enough to get me through it but it's not something I feel like replaying. For all the plasmids and gene tonics I didn't really feel like I had too much control over customizing my character and I hate how you had to dump a Valentine's Day Massacre worth of bullets into every enemy to kill them. Though if pressed I'd still say I like BioShock
Gears of War on the other hand I really TRIED to like. I remember my brother brought it home from college and we tried out the co-op but I could never get past how the characters all looked like walking slabs of beef and sounded like rusty coffee grinders. I was even intrigued by the idea of cover based shooting (of course this was back before that became ubiquitous as hell) but I could never really get into it.
