Doom 3 gets my vote. The flashlight trick was interesting the first 2 times, but building an entire game around it got ridiculous. They called the keys PDAs in this version, but it was still a nearly linear, key-driven shooter. It would have been great in a time before games like Half Life and Deus Ex moved us past that sort of thing, but its just a bunch of tired mechanics wrapped up in new paper.
