Hmm I'm going to have to say life simulator games like Sims. I barely touch the genre.

Strategy games. I have a handful on STEAM and I just can't get into them no matter how hard I try. This includes turn based like Civ or pseudo real time like Total War. I'm fine with RTS's (even though I suck at MP) but can't ever really enjoy strategy games.

completely and totally unfulfilling to me, the only one I tried and enjoyed was pre NGE+ Galaxies. You could just wander through town and chat, learn a trade, do fun stuff. These days they're just raiding... yawn

I haven't bought a Sports game since NFL 2k1
I don't play "realistic" Turn-Based Tactical Strategy games (like Silent Storm, Steel Panthers, etc) - on the same token though I love me those more "main-stream" turn-based strategy games like Civilization and Heroes of Might & Magic.
I don't play Flight Simulators anymore, last one I bought was Flight Simulator 2000. This also includes dog fighting games like Ace Combat and IL 2 Sturmovik. I love Warhawk though if that could somehow be construed to fit into this category.
I don't play JRPGs outside of Final Fantasy, at least, not since the 16-bit days.
I don't have a problem with them but I haven't played a new Adventure game in forever. Would actually like to but I'm pretty frugal with my game purchases these days.
Shmup's... I'm just not good enough and think the whole genre holds too high a difficulty level.

Sports and RTS.
Former because if I was interested in sports at all, I'd play the real ones.
Latter strictly from a PVP standpoint, I'd rather pull out my toenails than get screamed at for 5 minutes by Justin Bieber until his left nut explodes and I see "xXxSephiroth21xXx has left the session."
From a single player standpoint, I enjoy most RTS campaign modes, but playing against the AI in an RTS seems sorta like you're missing the point.

Racing is so boring for me, unless it's a mario cart-esque one.

FPS and sports are about the only genres I have no interest in. Exceptions to sport: driving and tennis.
Never played an MMO either.

Simulation racing games: So boring. I prefer arcadey racers like Wipeout and Burnout because they don't put me to sleep. If it doesn't have violent crashes or sweet jumps, I don't want to play it.
Fighting games: I just can't grasp any advanced mechanics for some reason. Fighting games are my weak link as a gamer. Typically I'll lose interest as soon as I get bored of playing Arcade mode on normal.
MMO's: I like the idea of a huge game world populated with other players, but the ultra slow progression, the repetitive quests and the copy and paste environments make them a drag for me. It's quantity way over quality.

I enjoy RTS and TBS games, but 4x games bore the shit out of me. I'm gonna give it another go with Civ V, but I'm thinking this is going to be the last chance.
Sports
I used to like them, but I would rather watch a game now.
MMO
I just don't have the time to be committed to one. I'm eyeing The Old Republic, but it will need to be damn good for me to bother with it.

MMOs - I have too much stuff to do in the real world to devote my time to these wastes of time
Racing - Played Split Second last year and it reminded me what was mechanically bad about racing games (rubberbanding AI), followed by BLUR, which reminded me what was presentationally bad about racing games (terrible characters, shoehorned-in story). I've never played one since and never plan to again.
Puzzle - Match colours. Great fun if you've got 10 minutes spare, but when I get to play, I usually have at least an hour.
RTS - Doesn't work well on consoles. Not a PC guy.
Sports - I don't like sports. Why would I want to play simulations of them.
Adventure - Most adventure games feel more like interactive movies to me, and I play video games to actually play them.

JRPGs - I detest the usual "spiky haired kid with a big sword goes to save the world with his band of friends and learns about love, life and himself" approach. Persona 4 is probably the only one I've enjoyed simply because it doesn't follow the same stereotypes.
Shooters - Because the industry no longer seems to have any imagination. Everything has to be a gritty war shooter with a bald meathead as the main character, there is no room for unique shooters like TimeSplitters any more.
Sports - Can't stand any sport that doesn't feature cars.
Strategy - Never, ever cared about them.

Sports games. Was never into sports as a kid. It wasn't until I was an adult that I started to watch/follow some sports. Used to have a few soccer games growing up, though.
Racing games. Some of them are fun and I played Burnout Paradise quite a bit, but in general racings games have no hold for me.
MMO. Never understood the appeal.

FPS. Mirror's Edge and Prime 3 is the closest things I have to one this gen. That's saying something.
Sports. Trick based games like Jet Set Radio, SSX, and the old Tony Hawk games are exceptions.
Strategy. This word might as well be "Valkyria Chronicles" to me. Haven't been able to get into any others.

Fighting Games - Smash Bros.
Racing Games (I haven't owned one since Wave Race: Blue Storm, and if you don't count that, Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit)

I've made it a point to avoid blowjob strategy games, and I've only dabbled in pickling sims.
In seriousness, an FPS has to really have something special to get so much as a second look from me. Not that I've never enjoyed an FPS, but i'm just sorta over them. I rarely find them worth the investment.

I only play about 1 FPS a year for about 20 hours. MGS4 was kinda my 6 year FPS, so I got enough out of that, irregardless of the story.
Whoever said Music games, that too. Fuck Rockband and Guitar Hero. If I wanted to play the guitar, I'd go out and play. God, I don't, I really, really, don't, see why it's so fun.
Racing games, are kind of hit and miss. I like Blur and Mario Kart, but do they really count? Things like Gran Tourismo make me nauseous, and I usually either wipe out, or get a personal vendetta on someone who hit me and wind up screwing with them the entire time.
