What it says on the tin. Something you used to really enjoy, but now when you try to play it you're like "meh" and go do something else. It could be a series that a shitty entry ruined for you or just outgrowing the game.
I can't bring myself to play Iron Storm anymore. I loved the concept and the game was fun, but now I can't even look at it. And every time I think of playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein I remember the Ubersoldat.
Deus Ex is a half-example. Sometimes I can't help but think of the really crappy level design and I don't want to play it; then I end up installing and playing through to completion anyway.

I guess next one is "Games that grew up on you".

I liked Painkiller Overdose when it first came out and enjoyed playing through it the first time even though I thought some enemies were just plain not cool at all especially compared to the first Painkiller and its expansion.
After finishing it once I wanted to replay it again, but thought about how much I hate some enemies and levels which just seem out of place. Alright so the whole game has levels that have no connection to each other in any way, but at least they don't feel that out of place. PK: Overdose just wasn't the same as it's ancestor.
Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) is also a game I despise so much for the horrendous scifi plot twist it included, but I've always wanted to play it again up till that point where the developers decided to get high when they shouldn't have.
EDIT: Also, "games that you grew up with".

Just about any fighting or racing games.

Thief.
I played it to death, and recently had fun with Shipping...and Receiving, but damn I am burned OUT on the whole concept. FMs suck too. I appreciate the time and effort put into them, they just aren't my bag anymore.
I really could care less about THI4F or whatever the hell they decide to call that game. I lol every time I see the THI4F Anticipation forum...they actually think that it is going to be a good game even remotely similar to the originals.
Manhunt.
I love the hell out of that game, but I can't stand to even look at the box anymore. Not after spending so many weeks playing it, and then RE-playing it to get 5 stars on every level to unlock everything.
Tenchu games.
Well, the first 3 games. I haven't even bothered with the more recent ones.
I used to love them to death, I even used to make elaborate levels with the PS1 level editor. It is just way too arcade-y for my tastes these days. Shame, cause the game world & characters they created ar really cool.

I guess this means games that i've played so much that I can't even look at them anymore. In that case, Vice City, MDK2, Devil May Cry 3 and Ace Combat 0.
I clocked more hours on Shock 2 or Deus Ex, for example, but those are infinitely more replayable.

I liked car racing games back then, especially the NFS series. The first four at least, cause I kinda lost interest in the whole thing around Porsche Unleashed. I completely avoid the genre now.
