Metroid Prime, Halo, any post-SNES Zelda title, any post-N64 Mario Kart, and any PSX/PS2-era Mega Man games (sans compilations).
I've tried them all, wanted to enjoy them, but just couldn't. Can't tell you why, either.

Legend of Zelda series (Save for LTTP)
Most Koei strategy games (Except Aerobiz)
GTA (Running around blowing shit up is fun, but I can never focus on actually playing the game)
can't be alot of replay value with that though? :P
The Zelda series never did anything for me, yet I still try each one I get my hands on. I also tried to like RPGs for a while and then I realized it just wasn't meant to be.
To me, the Castlevania games and the Metroid games are boring as hell. Friends tell me "Oh this game is awesome blah blah blah best game ever", yet I buy it, play it, leave it, sell it.
There is a certain game that I had such ridiculously high hopes for, and such extreme expectations that I really tried to force myself to like it for quite a long time before finally realizing that the game just wasn't a good game. It was October 2000 at the Playstation 2 launch. The first Madden game for the playstation 2.
Man, I had such high hopes for that game, and I had came from playing NFL2K and NFL2K1 and then I got my Playstation 2, and was hoping beyond hope that Madden would be amazing. And there were certain parts of the game that were kinda amazing, but ultimately the gameplay was much worse than NFL2K1. In fact, NFL2K1 was leaps and bounds better in the gameplay department. I'd go so far as to say that NFL2K1 ranks among possibly the 5 best Football games of all time. But like a dumbass, I was busy forcing myself to like Madden. For months and months, I tried to make that game the dream it should have been. But it just didn't work.
Anything MegaMan.
I really want to like them, but I am horrible at them
I really wanted Viewtiful Joe 2 to be awesome.
When I played it, it reminded me a bit of Sonic Adventure 2, in that it was awful. I sold it a week later.
Zelda series and the Metal Gear Solid series but MGS 3: Subsistence may change my mind.
Well, the first one isn't a videogame, but a PC game.
Sim Coaster.
Darn thing just quits when i play it, so i never get to save it.
Second, GTA Vice City.
Sure, it's a great game to many people (And the best in the series to many people) But it's simply boring to me.
Why?
I think it is because i played San Andreas before i played Vice City.
Any of the Metal Gear Solid (I loved the NES Metal Gears) games or Final Fantasy games.
I never saw the appeal of Final Fantasy. Still don't..
Only the original SNES Final Fantasies were really any good, and FFVII only has a good musical score.
Frogger on the DS. I'm wanting to like the game, but I'm stuck at the first boss battle, which is unforgivably hard. The main levels are really good, but the game's structure is so haphazard, that I'm just frustrated. Watch bad cartoon, play a level or two, bump into a couple wierd characters, something happens (or doesn't), watch another bad cartoon, then back to the actual game, without much idea of where I am or where I'm going.
Ugh. This could be the next Chip's Challenge, if it actually tried. What a mess.

Holy crap do I ever agree. I want to like Ico SOOO BADDDDD. I was so excited when I bought it. The graphics, sound, atmosphere, they're all so cool. And I love how immersive the game is. You actually feel like youre in another world. I haven't felt that way since playing "Out of this World". But, alas, I don't like itI find it frustrating. Commanding the girl, fighting those stupid shadows, and the bad camera, I just can't get into it.
Another one I forgot about is Castlevania for the DS. I know it's an awesome game, but I just can't get into it. The graphics and music are all quite good (although not as good as reviews say it is). I think it's because I got like 4-5 DS games at or around christmas, and Castlevania was on the bottom of the list, and I just haven't gotten into it since.
Fable for the Xbox was another one I didn't get into. I played the first mission and gave up.
Panzer Dragoon Orta? Same. I actually think I would like this if I actually played it, but I just don't. I LOVED the Saturn versions.
That's all I can think of now, but I could probably add more if I took the time to think about it.
For me it started with Halo and continued through Halo 2, I really wanted to like them and I played all through the first but I just hate how you have to go back through the same levels over again. But I still have hope that I'll like 3
Tales of Symphonia for Gamecube and Deus Ex: Invisible War. I've started and quite both games about a dozen times each. Good God, do I want to like Deus Ex. So badly. But I don't.
Baten Kaitos, I tried playing the game on 3 seperate occasions, all of which resulted in my being frustrated over the card system and bored all at the same time. Needless to say I turned it off within minutes.
Batillion Wars - I seem to be really bad at the game, so I quit playing after a few missions. I'll probably give it another go someday, but I really don't see my self loving it.
Katamari Damacy - I just found the entire game to be a frustraiting mess with really catchy music.
Breaking Bad 3x02 - Caballo Sin Nombre
legend of zelda - man I have forced my self to get half way through this game
i never liked it from the first time i saw it in the 80s - never understood how it spawned such a glorious series
im a gamer that cant get into a series unless i do it in order – I’ve played all the others (just a little bit ) and i really want to play them -- but the original nes version of zelda is holding me back -- at least im in the middle -- i hope my save still works !!!
also metroid on the nes - never saw what the hype was all about - i pop it in every now and then and end up putting it away
now for a current gen game
ROBOCOP on the xbox -- i really want to like this game - its ok for a game i paid 7$ for but holy Fin damn does it have a problem. I wish they had just a little bit more quality control with this one. Progressing in the higher levels is achieved by luck.
Jak and dexter on the PS2 - i was disapointed with how much like crash bandicoot it was and couldn't get into it (i like crash - i was just expecting something different )
The human operates out of complex superiority demands, self -affirming through ritual, insiting upon a rational need to learn, striving for self-imposed goals, manipulating his environment while he denies his own adaptive abilities, never fully satisfied.
--Frank Herbert
I want to like Mega man, but just cant get into them.
