I've never played it either. I watched someone play it for thirteen hours straight from sunrise to sunset and realized that would be a bad habit to emulate at any point.
Civ V.
Hearts of Iron 3.
Every Final Fantasy after 6. Every Zelda after ALTTP. Morrowind, Oblivion, Resident Evil, Civilization, Fallout 3, Rift, Guild Wars, etc.
Chromo Trigger
Final Fantasy VI
Meta Gear Solid 2
Felt like that first time through when it just came out. Loved it when I went back 6 years later.
Some of my own:
Red Dead Redemption. Could you possibly hold my hand any tighter, Rockstar? And where do all the people I shoot come from? There's no value in making a kill if you're making them by the hundreds, be subtle for once.
GTA IV, same issues as above, plus the social life things.
Oblivion. I never liked it's art direction and leveling system. Dark Souls has shown me the right path.
FFXIII. What can I say, I tried. At some point while playing I thought 'at least I like the monster design...'. But then I thought: that's so sad...
Zelda, the Phantom Hourglass. The only Zelda I actually played. It was fun at first but when a game makes you go through the same dungeon (again and again) each time you want to progress, you know it's just shameless padding. I quote Yahtzee: 'that's not gameplay, that's just busy-work.'.

The Total War series: Given that I am such a big Age Of Empires fan and Rise of Nations fan, a turn based RTS like any of the Total War games are just bloody painful!
Shadows Of The Damned: Too much swearing, sexual references and gore coupled with a poor control system. Every time I buy a new game it gets relegated. I do intend to finish it but only so I never have to play it again!
FFXIII: The battle system sucks simple as. Never finished it & I bought it when it launched!
I Am Alive: It just looks so so bland which makes me want to play it very little. A shame because it's not a bad game
Xenogears, Xenosaga, Zelda (several).
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
I've never played it, but maybe I'll have to now! Spider-Man 2 nearly mastered web swinging around the city, which was so fun I would sometimes just do that and ignore the game. It could have been a bit bigger and seriously needed more side stuff to do instead of chasing lost balloons, but most of the later games didn't build off of that at all.
i have good taste so my list is pretty short
deus ex: human revolution (i will give it another try one day)
resident evil 5
the third birthday
suikoden tactics
twilight princess
gears of war online
