I agree with COD and angry birds. Everyone seems addicted, but I don't get that. Angry birds is just boring and hardly a puzzle game and COD, I only ever enjoy that when playing with a couple of friends on the odd oppournity. One game, even though it isn't console is Runescape. I know loads of people enjoy it, but I just found it boring and losing all my weapons when I died was a pain in the backside. I lost intrest too easily.

The Final Fantasy series and Shadow of the Colossus. <_<
Final Fantasy, eh... some of them are alright (4, for instance), but in general, I just think it generally lacks, and it has become a giant cashcow for Squeenix to milk from. A buttload of people buy anything just cause it says Final Fantasy on it (especially if it bears the number 7), no matter how crappy it is. ._.

SotC... I mean, okay, it looks pretty, but that's pretty much it. It's just so... boring. The boss puzzles are easy as hell, the controls are clunky like a brick, and the story feels - at least to me - very predictable.
I have only played up until the first boss before I gave up on it and passed the controller to my friend who wanted to show the game to me in the first place. I watched him play and struggle with the awkward controls of the game before beating it. I was not impressed.

I also agree about SotC. It actually made me think something was wrong with my controller. And I died at the first boss and turned the game off.

Another one I have to mention is StarCraft. While I think the game is cool, I can only play it for a little bit before getting tired of it. I hate having to waste a lot of time building an army only to get killed by an opposing army shortly after. I don't know if WarCraft is similiar or not because I have not really played it.

It would help if the characters were interesting or likeable or if the multiplayer was exciting.
I'm agree. I think its characters are the worst I've seen in years. They seem rocks that walk around.

While i agree that most of the characters are boring. I have to say Dom's character was probblay the only intersting person in the game. I suppose carmine would be to if they didnt keep killing him.

I enjoyed Gears much more than I thought I would. The gameplay is incredibly solid and the co-op is crazy fun, though the competitive multiplayer is pretty dull. I don't even mind the characters that much, it's bro out the ass but seems pretty self aware, also helps that now whenever I hear John DiMaggio I'm reminded of this:
