    I would say Kingdom Hearts, although I haven't played 356 or BBS yet. Also, NBA 2K consistently does me proud every year (granted I only started playing at 2K7, but I hear it was good before then as well). I've loved both Diablo's (although after 2 I can't really play 1 anymore, but I don't think that should count as disappointment). Add to that the 2 Knights of the Old Republic games and the 2 Mass Effects and I guess there's my list.

    Pokemon, even the third gen wasn't that bad after FireRed and LeafGreen. They keep adding more stuff and new monsters.

    Final Fantasy and Resident Evil are the only ones I can think of.

    Haters gonna hate, etc. I have yet to play a mainseries FF or RE game that I didn't get a smurfton of enjoyment out of, even if there are some I like less than others.

    Spinoffs, well...they're an entirely different story. But much like Disney sequels, I'm going to ignore them.

    (SPOILER)Seriously, Dead Aim? Survivor? What the hell was that crap?
    I like Kung-Fu.

    If this was after FFX had come out, I might've listed Final Fantasy, but I was disappointed with XII and XIII. You could almost call XI a side-story, so I don't really count it. XIII had fun battles and was pretty but otherwise was pretty weak, and XII was just boring as heck. I couldn't even get past the first five hours before giving up.

    I'm pretty happy with Final Fantasy.

    Soul Calibur and Tekken have also been very consistant for me. You could argue that Tekken 4 is bad, but I liked it because it reintroduced my favourite character who I'd thought had been killed off prior to the events of 3.

    Oh, and Dynasty Warriors, believe it or not. The Empires expansions bring a good strategic aspect to it.

    Tekken 4 was the reason Tekken didn't get a mention from me, but it has a lot more games in the series that I do like than some of the others I mentioned, so it should receive credit.

    If you are talking not letting me down I would be including stuff like Halo, but that is more from me not expecting much than to me really enjoying them.

    Games that come to mind:
    Starcraft
    Warcraft
    Diablo
    Chrono

    That is about it.

    I haven't played story of SC2 yet but yeah Warcraft and Starcraft. Blizzard does a damn good job of keeping me happy.

    Baldur's Gate. Pretty much every other series has let me down in one way or another (either that or I don't care enough to mention them). Most recently, Blizzard's smurfup with SC2s multiplayer system.

    I thought I was the only one. I was a little miffed at how short 3 and ODST were though.

    Half-Life first comes to mind. Great series, and it's only getting better. GTA hasn't really disappointed me, though I do get bored rather quickly with those games. Prince of Persia hasn't, but I shouldn't say that until I play the newest one I suppose. Kingdom Hearts has yet to make a bad installation (imo). There are probably more I'm just really tired and don't want to think too hard atm.

    Legend of Zelda, Baldur's Gate, and uh... Monkey Island

    Psh that's a hard thing to answer. Since I've sat for ages trying to think up an answer I'm going to go for an easy one and say Zelda. I grew up with the series and I've loved every one, so much so that it's got to be the series that I've re-played the most times.

    Oh and I'll also suggest Pikmin. Although there are only two games in the series I adore both and for me, they never get boring.

    So yes, Zelda and Pikmin.

    All games disappoint me I don't know why I play them.

    Uhh I don't know actually. Out of the ones already mentioned, KOTOR, Mass Effect and Halo are probably the only ones I've played in full. I can't really think of a series that I'm familiar with that hasn't let me down, if only slightly.
