If we were talking about technological or design achievements other games would rise to the top, but if we're just talking about plain old fun, Half-Life 2 wins for me.
Liked - Picross, in any way shape of form. I've heard a few times that people have no interest in these games, but I find them addicting.
Hated - GTA. Any of them. Sloppy driving, sloppy shooting, boring missions, bad framerates. It's sort of fun to just run around killing people and causing mayhem, but that gets boring after about 30 minutes and you wish you hadn't spent money on the game.
Also hated - Dead Rising. Well I didn't hate it, but I was seriously disappointed (and not because of the save system). I wanted a zombie game, but I got a game about lunatics in a mall, with really bad combat controls. Oh, and there's some zombies running around too. The most fun I had in DR was just killing zombies with different things, but the combat is so bad that I can't take too much of it. I'm really hoping DR2 has good combat and incorporates the zombies more in the main game.
I have to agree about short but solid campaign modes. Games that are too long get stretched out and weak, but the shorter ones are more packed with fun and are worth replaying.
