I feel I'd be cliched in saying Halo 3, but then Modern Warefare 2 doesn't seem like any less of a cliche, either.
GTA 4 was pretty damn overrated though, but keep in mind the previous two I just mentioned.

It's pretty easy to just claim that Dragon Age is a generic world if you don't go very far into it.
While Dragon Age uses a seemingly generic plot and characters, they're all their own, they don't just live as archetypes, they're characters.
So whilst the story is a well-worn one, betrayal and inpending doom, as long as it's been written compellingly, should it really matter if the basic elements are in a lot of other stories?
I would say "no".
Besides that, it's hard for something to not be done before after humanity has existed for so long.
