My compiled list of all new non-sequel, non-remake, non-licensed games with a Metacritic score of at least 75. It's not perfect and I may have missed some or added too many. There are exceptions. I included Orange Box for Portal and I included Strong Bad and Penny Arcade even though they have previous "franchises", but I removed all movie and, therefore, Lego games. I'd say there's still plenty of original titles being produced.
