Games you hate that everyone loves?

Basically the opposite of the "games only you could love" thread. There are a few that I absolutely despise that ..well nobody seems to agree with me on.
First one off the top of my head is the Halo series. I despise it. It's a solid series, with nothing technically wrong with it, but my god compared to other shooters it really is nothing special and I was actually pretty bored with it when I played it for the first time. Completely overrated. Honestly, if I bought an original Xbox I probably wouldn't even get Halo 1 or 2. Ever.
Second one of course is the Guitar Hero/Rock Band games. You guys probably already know my stance on this series. To each their own though, right? Though I do thoroughly enjoy the Taiko No Tatsujin series, and Audiosurf for the PC.
Power Stone 2. I love the first Power Stone but this one? ...pass. Sorry, but I just don't like it. In my opinion (remember, just my opinion) there's not really any improvements over the first one at all. The Idea of it is cool, but it's too damn short and..well, I just didn't find it nearly as fun as the first. Big MEH for me. Like Halo, it's a solid game, I just don't see what's so special about it and I'd much rather play the first one over 2.
Final Fantasy. Before you shun me, I don't actually hate this series. Aside from FF6 and FF8, I just simply can't get into the rest of the series. Doesn't tickle my fancy. I might look into playing 7 though eventually. But yeah, there are a few other RPG's that I've got into and enjoyed much more, like Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG, Golden Sun, and the Breath Of Fire series.
Alex Kidd. I really did try to like these games, but I simply can't. I guess it's just because I didn't grow up with them, but I don't find them fun in the slightest. EXCEPT for Alex Kidd in Shinobi World because I'm a huge Shinobi fan and it kind of plays similar. I love that one. But all the others?..meh. Sorry.
