Mass Effect, Deus Ex, Myst, non-snes Dragon Quest, Warcraft, Dynasty Warriors, Ratchet/Clank, Diablo, anything Team Ico (hd pack come on!), SOCOM, Max Payne. That's pretty much it though for major franchises so I consider myself pretty well-rounded.
man, quite a few that I've partially missed, and a couple full misses - Uncharted and Starcraft being the two total misses I want to play pretty badly
Only played the first 1 or 2 of these games - Yeah I need to get a Wii someday. Probably gonna wait until the next Nintendo hardware comes out. Zelda, Metroid, Super Mario Brothers, Civilization, Castlevania
Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy. Pretty much everything from Japan except for DoA 3 and 4, Resident Evil 5 and Demon's Souls. Oh, also all PS2 exclusives since the only console I owned before my original Xbox was a Sega Megadrive.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I missed Metal Gear, Castlevania (first time I heard about Castlevania was when I was looking for Shadow Complex info), Gran Turismo and all sports games except for racing games, Speedball and Deathrow.
Hmm I know it's wrong, but any 3D zelda game just never resonated with me, even OOT I found could drag, and I just... never found myself digging how they played. It might just be my bitterness at a lack of a jump button, but then again Darksiders I found myself equally unmoved by. Really can't explain it, because I keep trying to start a new zelda game with the intention of finishing but I never do. I do love the 2D ones though. Love how those play for some odd reason. Call me crazy, but I think my favourite zelda game might be the capcom GBC one.
Before Metal Gear Solid 4 came out I hadn't touched that series at all. Same with Sly Cooper, although I just got the PS3 collection pack for Christmas.
The big one would have to be Zelda. I hadn't played any MGS games before the fourth. I've also never played through any Mario, Metroid, or Megaman games, just played for a few minutes here and there with friends.

really? that's cool i love the old ones too, i grew up on that shit. played the original recently and wondered how the fuck did i beat this shit when i was a kid!? haha
i've played all but the mobile versions and of all of them Wind Waker was and continues to be my favorite. that's right, i said it
I don't think I've completely missed a franchise without first trying a title or two in the franchise and then being like 'yeaaaaa, no thanks'. That list is:
Legend of Zelda, Metroid Prime, Call of Duty, Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, Left 4 Dead, Half-Life, God of War, The Sims, Gran Turismo, Forza, Need fo Speed, Dragon Quest, Resident Evil, Rock Band, Burnout...
Just looking at my collection, I actually own multiple copies of titles in each of those franchises and can't for the life of me figure out what the hell I was thinking buying them?
I've never owned a Nintendo Console, so yeah.... My first console was a Playstation, then PS2, and now PS3. I've only owned one console at time. I do intend to by a Wii though. Virtual Console here I come!
Aside from the first three, there's enough of Final Fantasy that I haven't played that I basically consider it as an unplayed franchise.
Other than that, Jak & Daxter, Tony Hawk (basically any sports franchise ever), Gran Turismo, Resident Evil and DOOM are sticking out for me. There's oh-so-much more, but I'd probably be here all night.
I have an xbox 360 and I have never owned a Halo game. I have only played a bit of halo 1's multiplayer at my friend's house, but that's it. I'm always enticed to buy it, but it never happens.
Also, Call of Duty. Always wanted to try Call of Duty 4, but again somehow it never happens...
For me its Mass Effect. I never had a chance to even touch a Mass Effect game, and i'm really eager to. I feel its absolutely necessary, since all the hype during the GOTY deliberation revolved around how amazing the Mass Effect universe was.
Mass Effect- Star Trek style sci-fi never really did anything for me GTA- My parents never let me play it when I was younger, and I never really had a desire to when I was able to MGS- No interest in the franchise whatsoever Street Fighter- Never really went to arcades that much due to them being phased out when I was younger, so I never got addicted to SF Any Blizzard game- Don't play MMOs, and the Blizzard style of RTS games isn't for me
Nope, i've been a massive game geek since the late 80s and I cant think of any popular game form I havent tried at least once. I feel this makes me qualified to hate games I don't bother with. I feel it's only fair to at least try it before I have an opinion on it which is why I've basically played everything that tends to be mentioned (popular or not).
It is possible something popular in another country, however, I did miss, but I can't name anything I know about that I haven't tried out (ergo played at least once).
Warcraft (I would've said Starcraft if I didn't pick up number 2 this week) and in that case, any strategy game on the PC, including but not limited to the Civ and C&C series. Call of Duty (have played maybe 20 minutes total of any CoD game) Shin Megami Tensei Think that's about it, I've at least played a substantial amount of most "important" franchise games
Mostly Metal Gear. I can't seem to break into it. Played some MGS4 and was just bored and frustrated by the gameplay. Every fighting game, have tried recently to get into them but I just can't bring myself to spend time learning combos.
Wow, I'm really surprised at the number of people who haven't played Castlevania in this thread. Owell, it makes me sad, but to each his own. For me, it'd be:
Star Ocean Phoenix Wright Deus Ex (not sure if that counts) Unreal Tournament Dragon Quest Battlefield Elder Scrolls Ratchet and Clank Burnout WOW
Uncharted and Mass Effect. Most other major franchises I've played at least a demo of or watched someone extensively. But I've never been near these, and I really want to.
