People have listed alot of the good ones already, but I'll go ahead and shamelessly repeat things.

Final Fantasy should have died after six.
Then there would be no seven or ten. :cry:
Hmm. I agree on Pokemon, though the repetition is mostly the fanbase's fault. When Nintendo tried to be unique, most of the fanbase shot it down for not being a "real" pokemon game. HOLY FREAKING CRAP.
When the game repeats to the point where you can skip all the dialogue, and know to get the x-based starter pokemon, go through the quick road where you'll fight some other weakling pokemon, to the next town where you get your ten pokeballs, and then know you'll probably be able to capture pokemon from ten years ago and that there'll be yet another hundred new ones, without even starting the game...
There's something wrong with that.
Final Fantasy has done a surprisingly good job of continuing without stale. It's seen a good long life, and I doubt it'll end anytime soon, either.
MechAssault. I know, Lone Wolf lovers are going to eat me, but c'mon. It's absolutely nothing like original battletech, which is awesomely cool. Javelin missiles? WTF? LRM 20's>your newfangled gadgetry.
Book and movie knock-off games in general, except for Star Wars and a few LOTR's. Granted, there were a few that were totally horrible (Masters of Teras Kasi anyone?) But you can't argue with KOTOR II. And personally, seeing all the shelves line up with Incredibles, Shrek, and Eragon games makes me wanna puke. I got Eragon for Christmas and it sucks. It's like The Two Towers game with any semblance of life, creativity, customization or originality ripped out.
Onimusha...just stop...you were fun for a while...you're not anymore...
I dun wanna say anything else should die just yet, so this is enough for now.
