Games you love from genres you generally don't like

I normally don't play many sports games, but I really like both the Punch Out!! and Wii Sports series.  Punch out is not trying to be a simulation of boxing and that is probably why it's so fun.  It has great characters and is half puzzle, half reflex gameplay.  Ironically Wii Sports (and Resort) are great games because they feel the most realistic.  They are simple, but the I really feel like I am swinging a tennis racket.

I normally do not like FPS games at all, but I have to admit that Bioshock is pretty good.  The environments are so interesting that I just loved exploring this underwater dystopian world.
