Besides all the mentioned ones, here are few from my side:

Need for Speed - played since 2 SE until Undercover. It is impossible to release the same game each year and the peak was MW'05.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater - some may say American Wasteland was good. I didn't liked it but it was not as bad as anything after.

CODs - that is a pet peeve of mine. Great game, but it overstayed it's welcome. OG MW1 and MW2 still hold a special place in my heart.

Battlefield - same as above. BC and BF3 can't be beat.

World of Warcraft - that is an entirely different game to what it used to be imo.

WOW- if it wasn't for classic and now anniversary, I never would have renewed my subscription.

Retail is just horrible and getting worse.

I was (and still is) a Battlefield 2. I found battlefield 3 an alright sequel, though I wish they hadn't bullshitted with the whole "the game is too complex now for map and mod tools". But it is unreasonable how much fun Bad Company 2 was. I was one of the early haters of it because they took away prone and the faster paced gameplay. But boy did my opinion on it changed. Even my brother who rarely plays shooters sat and grinded out weapons on it. I know even DICE are questioning why it was such a success.
