What 'Killer Apps' Do You Not Like?

Is this the thread where we troll popular games?

Because my answer is Metal Gear Solid 4.  That game fucking sucks.

Halo, MGS.

I have a hard time defining a "Killer App" and distinguishing that from a "highly popular game."

When I think "Killer App," it pretty much nullifies a lot of the games you have listed (well, a few, not a lot) because I envision a killer app to mean "console-specific-game-which-determines-console's-dominant-demographic". 

So, Halo, Mario, possibly, possibly Fable are still in the running.  But, again, my definition has not been stated with a lot of confidence.

I thought killer apps were like the bad guys in Tron.

I thought it meant kitchen appliances gone bad.

Killer App refers to a AAA title, not whether the game turns out to be any good. I get what you mean, though. My vote is for Rainbow Six: Vegas. What is the appeal? The game sucks.

I didn't like Bioshock. Also I am not a big fan of the Halo franchise although multiplayer with friends is pretty entertaining.

Mine would be MGS4...definitely my most disappoint game of the year (so far).

Halo series, I don't think they are that great.

Grand Theft Auto IV and Jak II, there's more but I'd like to keep my bashing to a minimum.

For me it would have to be Halo series at number 1. Secondly would be the GTA series, I actually like those games just fine. I just have trouble getting into them. 3 was the only one I ever played a lot of.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Warhawk.

EDIT: Oh and any game that requires you to play along to music with stupid plastic instruments.

Halo 3.

If you're confused, here's what a killer app is.

"A killer application (commonly shortened to killer app), in the jargon of computer programmers and video gamers, has been used to refer to any computer program that is so necessary or desirable that it provides the core value of some larger technology, such as a gaming console, software, operating system, or piece of computer hardware.  In this sense, a killer app substantially increases sales of the platform that supports it."

With that said, I'm going to say Wii Fit.  And yes, that's a killer app.

Gears Of War. It just seems kinda lame to me. Also the gameplay was really repetitive IMO.
