So yeah, FPS games have been pretty stale for a while and while there are things like Bioshock and Metroid Prime (yes, FPA, bleh, whatever it's a first person game) trying to shake things up, the genre is stale.

Bioshock pushes FPS because it's pushing AI and gameplay in a FPS in a new direction. Metroid Prime is getting credit solely based on it's new control scheme, which since other games on the Wii already were using motion controls does it really add anything new at all or deserve to be in the same sentence as Bioshock when it comes to adding something new to the genre?

So because Metroid Prime is pushing new controls in a completely different way than all the Wii games it gets discounted because other Wii games use motion controls?

That's like saying Halo doesn't matter because all the console FPS games before that used a controller. 

Halo was the first console game to allow people to system-link and play up to 16 players.  Halo 2 was the first real online FPS for consoles.  Metroid Prime on the other hand doesn't appear to actually add anything new besides using motion controls which have been used in past Wii games (maybe not as well implemented, but still used).  Do PC games get labelled revolutionary if they improve the mouse and keyboard control scheme slightly compared to previous games?
