What games did you once enjoy, but now either just don't like, or even despise?
Me, I can't stand to play Splinter Cell: Double Agent on the 360. I used to play it a ton, won it through like 5 times, unlocked all the unlockables, all that jazz. Now... it just frustrates me. The JBA headquarters missions are infuriating, long, and dull. The stealth meter is too simple, and half the missions take place in broad daylight anyway. The original Xbox version is great though, probably because it developed by Montreal instead of Shanghia.
Another one for me would be Medal of Honor: Frontline. That used to be my favorite game at once. But like most FPS's, it hasn't aged well. The levels are incredibly linear, and don't attempt to lampshade it. The graphics are also aged, although it has very fluid animation and a great 60 frames per second frame rate, at least on Xbox. I don't hate this one though, it just isn't fun to me anymore. The music is still incredible at least.

Re: Games you used to love that you now can't stand
I can't think of any games I've gone from loving to hating; if anything, I get partway through a game I only sorta like and then suddenly love it or hate it.
Re: Games you used to love that you now can't stand
Hmm... hasn't happened to me yet! Either I like the game immediately, or I don't like it and it ends up growing on me as I play it!
Other times I think the game is blah and it stays blah.

Re: Games you used to love that you now can't stand
Hmm..I've had a few where I've started out thinking they're ok, then steadily begun to hate. Nanobreaker and Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects come of mind. But as for older games I used to love that I can't stand any more...
I don't know. I really can't name any. I suppose I'm not as enthralled with Adventures in the Magic Kingdom for the NES as I was as a kid, but I certainly don't hate the game.

Re: Games you used to love that you now can't stand
Goldeneye 007 is the only recent one I can remember playing again. I'm worse than awful at it now, and it's quite nauseating to see on a big screen.
Re: Games you used to love that you now can't stand
The game that I can't stand that I use to like would have to be the WWE Smackdown vs Raw series, I used to love creating people in that game, but now I can't stand even playing it. I wasted so much money on those types of games, I could of bought better games. Maybe its me or does this series get worse every year, anyway I can't stand WWE anymore. For the older stuff I don't dislike anything I liked before.

Re: Games you used to love that you now can't stand
Mortal Kombat
As soon as I started playing fighting games with any actual depth this game just seemed TERRIBLE. Just find what you can spam with your character and spam away, thats all there is to it. I put hours upon hours into mkII and now I just can't stand it. Sigh.
Blood and gore, that's all it ever really had.

Don't that just look oh so tasty?

Re: Games you used to love that you now can't stand
Mortal Kombat is a good choice. It was really all about the fatalities but other than a few fun moves (freeze, spear, bicycle kick...) the actual fighting was shallow.
I figure a lot of old nes games that I had fond memories of playing, I would not enjoy today. I guess the closest that I can think of is Cyborg Justice on the genesis. Can't imagine myself wanting to play that again even though I liked it as a kid.
