Shenmue
-------
Because it's crap, really crap. It's more linear than Mario Bros on the NES, when you 'talk' to people all you can do is ask the same question you ask everyone else, depending on what stage in the game your at. You can get a job, sounds exciting? It isn't. You can only get one job, and thats driving a fork lift truck backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards across a harbour carrying crates, and you HAVE to do it. Your also forced to take part in a 'race' every morning, as you can imagine, fork lift trucks don't go particulary fast.
Theres about 10 fights in the whole game, the QTEs are pointless, if you fail you just do it again, with the same button combination. Playing the old games in the arcade is more fun than playing the actual 'game'. and the graphics weren't even *that* good.
I don't even consider it a game.
Unreal Tournament 2003
-----------------------
Because it's cack. Basically what they've done is, taken the multi-player mode from any of about 20 FPS (Half-Life, Team Fortress Classic, RTCW, TSP2 etc.) and made it a whole game by itself. Except they then stripped it down to just four different modes, Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Domination (which is crap) and Bombing Run.
The graphics are very good, but then seeing as theres a complete lack of anything like 'gameplay' I wouldn't be surpised if they spent the whole two years on the graphics and 'ragdoll physics' alone.
Neverwinter Nights
------------------
Because I read the review about 80 times (PC Gamer), it got 94% (exceptionally high for PCG) and they said it was the best RPG ever.
It was w*nk.
Undoubtablly the worst RPG I've ever played.
Those are my choices to be discarded into oblivion...if only..

I did the same thing as you did with Neverwinter Nights. I read the review hundreds of times, waited for the postman each morning for the demo to come and when it did, it was the worst footy game ever.
Final Fantasy 7
See above. My mother spent £55 on it and after 10 minutes on Christmas day I wanted rid. Darn it.
Sonic Advance
Not a bad game, but I completed it in less than an hour for £30...
