From EGM / 1UP, Top 10 Game Cliches:

6) Imagine if every time you wanted to go down into your basement, you had to wait for a full moon, procure a statue made of precious jewels, solve a ninth-grade logic puzzle, and then push a heavy bookshelf so that it's exactly perpendicular to your couch. All you wanted was your baseball glove, sheesh.

Another one I'd add to the list: Reverse / mirror / bizarro / upside-down versions of a world you've already explored. Though maybe that's more cutting corners than a cliche.
