Oblivion and the Madden franchise.
While I am a heavy gamer, I also enjoy watching football and playing the Madden series.

If anything I'd consider those two games closer than the ones I mentioned, if only slightly; Warhammer 40K and Gears of war are both bloody games, set in a dark futuristic fictional universe with a chainsaw somehow implemented into the standard go-to weapon. Crash Bandicoot's a big company made title based around the platforming genre, making your way around a map while betting various enemies up in some way shape or form, whilst collecting crystals (most of the time). Audiosurf however, is a indie-made title with no form of violence what-so-ever, and is pretty much ALL about the music.sgt. soap mctavish said:
As someone else has said, "just two?"
Assassin's Creed and SingStar,
Infamous and Burnout Paradise,
Resident Evil 5 and Little Big Planet 2.
Then to counteract all of that I also play WoW. Actually, that's a lie. I used to play WoW, but I'm guessing it still counts.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine and Pokemon White
if that is not good enough
[PROTOTYPE] and Super Mario Bros 1
Lately I've been playing a lot of TF2, so I'll use that as one end of the scale. The other? Super Meat Boy. Worlds apart from each other in my experience.
TF2 is pretty much run & gun, you might die if you're not careful but there's always plenty of ways to escape and I generally remain relaxed whilst I'm playing it.
Super Meat Boy, on the other hand, is absolutely infuriating. And I love it. But if you touch any of the interchangable hazards you instantly die. This is a game I have to exit to save my controller and my own health.

Sengoku Basara: Hack'n'slash, hilariously and awesomely over-the-top fantastical retelling of the Sengoku period of Japanese history.
A Drug That Makes You Dream: Visual novel, romance and realistic social commentary on conformity, ostracism, and drug use, among other things, in a modern high school setting.

Myst Online vs Dwarf Fortress.
One is an utterly beautiful and simple adventure game set in an online environment that promotes teamwork, and is played from a third/first person perspective and is utterly relaxing and pleasant, and fun in a much more laid back way than normal. Everything has been planned and designed a specific way. It's light-hearted with some dark moments. Its story is complex and was built up over several years, and the overarching mythos was developed (and epically retconned several times) over the various Myst games. It's entirely non-violent. Dying is impossible. It's absolutely awesome.

VERSUS:
An ugly and ridiculously complex God game that's entirely single player, and pits you against everyone else (including, usually, your own dwarves). It's played from a bird's eye perspective with z-slices (yes, z-slices) and is frantic, panicky and all the fun is derived normally out of how hard you fail. It's completely random and unpredictable. It's really dark with some utterly hilarious moments. The story is generated three minutes before you start. It's violent to the point of being simultaneously vomit-inducing and hilarious. The general consensus is that dying is the POINT OF THE GAME. It's absolutely awesome.

I defy you to find two games more different. The ONLY way that they're similar is that their control schemes are both functional yet rather irritating (although Dwarf Fortress is markedly more so).
