Hmm... The only game I can think of is seadogs (71) The land controls were awful and it was kinda glitchy but the music, atmosphere and free economics system was great! Oh how I'd love for Bethesda to make a prober sequel.
Everyone called it generic and boring, I thought it was anything but. Still my favorite online FPS ever. Even being a fan of old Shadowrun, the butchering of the "cannon" didn't bother me. As a game it was awesome.
For what it was, it was actually pretty good; the only thing I really didn't like about it was how most of the characters weren't fleshed out at all, and at the end I was asked to make a decision about them =/
Probably Enchanted Arms Metacritic 69(actually surprised it was that high after all the complaints about it) Watchmen The End is Nigh The Complete Experience Metacritc 59(bought it for the movie but the games weren't bad just repetitive)
Oh god, dude, I think I had the first Army Men Sarge's Heroes and it was one of the worst games I ever played...... There are very few that I didn't finish, but I don't think I could stomach that one. Never played the sequel, but if it was anything like the first one Blech. And I actually don't waste my time on games that get a crappy metascore any more, so maybe I'm missing out, but there it is. For example I followed the hype of Hellgate: London thinking it would be cool (ya know makers of Diablo and all), but when it scored in the 60s I didn't fool with it. Of course Metacritic also led me to try Oblivion which I HATED...
Honestly, I don't know. Time is of a premium for me, so I don't usually play bad games. But, last year I did spend a lot of time with Tomb Raider: Underworld. According to Metacritic the game rates a 75. I think that's about right, but I still had a lot of good times with it. It's got camera problems, much the same combat issues most in the series have had, and some puzzles which require looking up the answers on the web. But, those quibbles didn't ruin my enjoyment of the game. I wanted something like Uncharted before Uncharted 2 dropped and that filled the void. It's a good "adequate" game.

Unfortunatley, I think you need to broaden your approach to video games. Just because a game gets a bad score doesn't mean it isn't fun. There is plenty of fun to be had with low scoring games, and people like you who refuse to buy/play low metacritic games are why developers base bonuses on those scores, which is a huge detriment to the industry.
