Halo.
It's sad really, all my casual gamer friends destroy me and they know that I'm a big gamer so I never hear the end of it. It's not like they're even good I just really suck. The most kills I've ever gotten in a 20 kill DM is like 7, and that was cause I got lucky with grenades. That's one of the main reasons I'm looking forward to the Revolution maybe then I won't suck at console FPS's.

extreme sports game - Tony Hawk, all of those surfing, snowboarding, etc games. I can't seem to figure out the point or how to pull off any of the moves consistantly.
RTS - I can play the game "scenarios" OK, but playing multi-player is impossible; can't seem to build fast-enough. Waaaaay to much micromanagement.
3D platformers that require a lot of precise jumping and movement - DMC, KH. (oddly enough though I'm pretty good at 2D platformers and 3D ones that require more "technical" movements, SOTC, MGS, Tenchu, etc).

-I cannot compete in a FPS multiplayer match to save my life. I always used to get laughed out of the game when I had XBL...yep, I'm that bad. :lol
-Stealth games; no patience for them whatsoever. I want to enjoy them because they're generally very pretty and have interesting stories and gameplay but....GAH. I don't know how people stand sitting in a dark corner for 5 minutes memorizing patrol patterns.
-Devil May Cry 3 kicked my arse. :*(

Online RTS games. Dating back to Warcraft 2 and Red Alert, I always got my ass kicked, I don't even bother trying anymore. I've enjoyed several RTS campaign's though.
Online FPS's. I can finish Halo 2 on Legendary solo, but I can't play online for the life of me. Never really good at Quake or Unreal or similar deathmatches either. I really loved BF2 on PC though, wasn't quite so terrible at it as the above, but I'm not exactly good either. Trend continues with me sucking at PDZ online.
Sh'mups. I'm decent at most of them, but I can't recall ever single-crediting a single one. I think I got close with R-type on TG-16, doing several levels without dying, but I always fell apart.

I'm decent but not too good at fighting games, although I truly enjoy them. I don't really go to arcades, so that's probably why I'm not too good.
I was pretty great at Warcraft2 and Starcraft, but I just "didn't get" Warcraft 3 or something. I'm horrible at that game!
I'm really good at MGS (although I like everyone else had to re-adjust to MGS3) but I'm HORRIBLE at Splinter Cell. I can't stand Splinter Cell for this reason. Maybe if I had played Splinter Cell before MGS I'd be great at Splinter Cell and horrible at MGS.
I'm not really sure if I'm bad at Shoot em ups or if they just require a ton of practice. I've had Gradius V since it was released and I can only get as far as that level in the asteroid belt. Now obviously I haven't been playing it every day or anything, but sheesh. I probably blow through 7 credits to get there or something. I love the game though.
I'm bad at NES games. They're impossible.

I'm actually pretty good at every genre, though I can't reach mastery status in RTS or Racing games.

Resident Evil: I've always enjoyed their characters, story, and general gameplay, but I've never been very good at them. I finished the first one (on the PSOne, not REmake), RE2 as Leon (never the second scenarios though), and RE4 on the 'Cube, but that's basically it.
Virtua Fighter: Supposedly there's some depth to this game, but I never got into it enough to be any good at it. I like instant gratification; Tekken and Street Fighter love me and I love them.
Gran Turismo: Great game, incredible graphics and gameplay, but I've never been able to wrap my head around the "simulator" feel to the driving. I prefer my pedal to the medal action like that found in games like Ridge Racer and Burnout.

Strategy games- People who are good at them go nuts with hot keys and multi tasking, I really don't get too into them so I lack that edge.
FPSes
Fighting Games requiring move memorization.
My problem with those games is that they require alot of memorization of certain buttons and commands. Some people can waste time getting good at them, but between School and Hockey I never take time to learn. I love those games, but I just take time to get good.
