QTE's can be stupid and unnecessary, but they aren't always bad.
Name some games that you think use quick time events the right way.
I'd to go with Dead Space, Tomb Raider 2013, and Kingdom Hearts.

I agree with most other have listed so far but I'd like to add Star Wars the Force Unleashed to the list. Those finishing moves especially on the boss battles were awesome. And you didn't fail or die if you did it wrong.
