Every non shooter EVER!
actually that's not really me but I would say shooters are the most exciting games I've played since you can't slack off during them and I have never felt like going to sleep while playing them, given they are also the most easily forgotten for me since they also all tend to feel the same and have the bad habit of down playing story in favor of game play and graphics.
Ummmmmmmmm fuck final fantasy tactics I guess? It was kind of slow and I hated waiting for ten plus guys to decide where they were going to go then do each individual jump to the spot then decided what to do then perform it in what felt like slow motion to me.... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to slow paced and I felt like turning off the game and doing something else every fucking round, it was like Warhammer night without the custom miniatures and socialization.
Final fantasy XIII also bored the hell out of me with its slow as all hell combat and its huge linear hallways full non intractable backgrounds.
I'm not saying I don't like those genres though, I'm just saying those particular ones put to much emphasis on things they weren't good at, two of my top games are final fantasy X and Disgaea which were pretty similar but decided to down play on their weakness (Combat and exploration) rather than emphasize them and make you wish the game was made better so you could actually enjoy those things.
Although, to be fair, I played those games quite some time ago and games used to be able to hold my attention a lot longer, final fantasy 9 was the epiphany of awesome for me, I loved every character, every town, every plot twist everything about it but I tried playing it again a few days ago and I felt myself wishing that it wouldn't spend so much time starting combat and in the reward screen, I guess I'm just more used to diving into the action now days.

These have probably been mentioned several times by now, but Oblivion and Modern Warfare 2 didn't do anything for me. I might not have given MW2 enough of a chance, but Oblivion just felt like Fallout 3 with much less to do. Skyrim does actually look interesting, though.
Aha! you mean Fallout three felt like oblivion with something to do, since you know oblivion was two years older than fallout and born in the middle of a different generation. wait a second... oblivion had a shit ton to do! you could become the master of organizations, buy houses, make funny spells, create your own items and fuck with people D: Perhaps we just have different tastes cuz I found fallout to feel a bit boreing with nothing to do once I finished working out my characters weapons set up and robbing every shopping mall I could find.

As another guy already said, WoW.
Course I give it a little more of a chance, and played to level 22. Then I said "Wow, this is still just as boring as killing smaller versions of this [Generic Fantasy Enemy], I'm going to stop"
Any game where you have to get to the END before it gets fun is a shit game.
Thats mainly because most people have the tendency to try and grind their way to the end as fast as possible, I personally spent my level 1-80 game exploring the world and learning as much about the Lore as humanely possible since there really is a SHIT TON of the stuff and its all fairly consistent then when I hit 80 and there was nothing to do but grind so that I was geared enough to play with other people I said SCREW THIS NOISE and quit since the combat in WoW is stale as a bag of nacho=to its own age and raids move to quickly for you to truly enjoy the scenery and suck in the lore.
Although ya, any game with as much grinding in it as WoW is truly the anti thesis to entertainment since they are purposely made boring to get you to play longer and not in order to make the game more difficult.

I'm gonna give a very controversial answer and say Minecraft. I can't really see why everyone feels like this game is the second coming of Christ, unless everyone who plays it is studying to get a degree in architecture...
lol if anyone played this to assist them in a degree in architecture I fear for the structural integrity of the buildings of tomorrow, I'M GONNA MAKE A HOUSE OF DIRT AND LAVA!
