Any games you absolutely hated with a passion?

So much stuff I generally hate, I might as well just name. (Most of this hate is based on being terrible at these types of games).

• I hate simulation (realistic) racing games. Not being able to go as fast as I want without a care in the world is the most annoying thing ever. If I actually wanted to play like real life, I wouldn't be playing a game and actually trying to drive real vehicles (and likely getting in terrible accidents).
• I hate fighting games with complicated combos. Not only am I generally terrible at fighting games as it is, but trying to memorize an impossibly hard combo is just a big pain. Usually these games also don't have any counters, and rely solely on either attacking or blocking.
• Shooting games. I goddamn hate most shooting games in general. The only one's I've played and liked are ones with a good story (Bioshock) or ones with unreal weapons with autoaim (Perfect Dark [N64]).
• Games without an easy difficulty. I understand some games are purposely supposed to be hard, and sometimes I like a challenge. But most of the time I'd rather just play something to figure out the storyline, rather than challenge myself to the point of pulling my hair out throwing a controller at the direction of my TV.
• Games that allow other players to talk to you in multiplayer. I'd really rather not listen to people trying to trash-talk you. Really should keep that stuff to yourself if you're not my friend (I can understand if you know me, since that's in jest).
• Fighting games on the Wii. No matter how good the idea may be, the Wii is not the system for fighting games. The only ones that work are ones that don't require the Wiimote (such as Super Smash Bros Brawl).
• Movie games. The majority of these are just simply a cash grab and are terrible (there are a few exceptions of course).

Totally with you on this one.

I don't think there are many games that are worse than Enchanted Arms. Bless the souls that played through for what they call "for the sake of achievements" -- truly, blessed art thou.

Beijing Summer Olympics 2008 - I can't believe I am finally getting rid of it.  I got blisters on top of blisters from this stupid game.  Why did I keep playing?  I have no idea

Assasins Creed - Horribly repetitive and bland gameplay (I am hoping and looking forward to AC2 thouh)

Pretty much anything to ever grace the XBLA - Don't get me wrong there are some real gems in there, but some of these games are so overpriced.  On top of that they get boring real quick and I grew up with an Atari 7800, so it take's a lot to bore me.  Of course I am spoiled now, but yeah.

Vampire Rain. Worst.Game.Evar.

I was given a copy to review through a marketing company and was compelled to finish it before writing the review.

 Bullet Witch really felt like the spiritual successor to Vampire Rain, but it wasn't quite as bad, so it ranks a close second.

I also can't decide which I hate more ... Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Vesperia, or Final Fantasy X

Sometimes I think you intentionally say things to hurt me...

That would require a motive.

Oblivion - No matter how hard I tried to get into this game I just couldn't.  The more I tried to force myself the more I hated everything about it.

Team Fortress 2 - Got the Orange Box a few months ago and after stints with COD4, Halo 3, and Killzone 2 I just couldn't get into TF2.

Street Fighter IV - Reminded me why I absolutely hate 1v1 fighting games.

Mercenaries 2 - The first one was fresh and fun.  Second one felt like it was a last gen game in every way.

While I totally agree with Oblivion and Street Fighter IV, I totally LOVE team fortress
