Ones I disagree or have a comment on--
Halo Series
I can understand saying the series but you make it sound like Halo: CE wasn't a remarkable game. It was, it pretty much changed the way we play FPS games. You could argue that people have gone overboard copying it but that is hardly Bungie's fault (unless you want to fault them for making a game changing game). Other than, the Halo games continue to get respected because they're extremely solid games.
Ocarina of Time
This is another game that changed everything. It was revolutionary in every way when it was released and that's why it's highly rated, not because it could contend with the big hitters today.
God of War series
Same with Halo, except God of War wasn't really a game changer. It was a solid game but it wasn't much special. I have no idea why people rant and rave about these like they do.
Bioshock
Yup, you're the only one.
All in all, it's almost like you're asking for these games to be perfect or amazing forever. A highly rated and respected game doesn't need to be either of those things.
