Platformers -- Played enough of them on the NES and SNES, and didn't really like them then. Yes, that's right, I hate Mario. I've owned three Mario titles and haven't gotten all the way through a single one. The gameplay is so mindless, and most of the time they have cardboard characters and zero depth in terms of story. Some of the older, non-silly titles did hold my attention--Alundra comes to mind--but those were few and far between. I've gotten over jumping as the primary focus of a game.

Military FPS -- I love sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, or atypical FPS games, but the straight Military variety turns me completely off. They just don't engage my imagination. I actually picked up CoD 4 last xmas, but I just can't find the enthusiasm to play it. Something like Borderlands 2, however, with all it's style and humor, is going to be day one.
