Man, you make HD gaming sound boring. Silly, it's not all just about FPS. There are still companies out there that are dedicated to bring out new experiences on the table. Think about Mirror's Edge (considered as a first-person platformer game), or think about Little Big Planet, etc. HD console gaming isn't bad, you simply can't notice that this generation is probably the best one yet. Digital distribution is at it's best, and great games come out of this service (see Braid, World of Goo, Castle Crashers, Super Stardust HD, etc.).
There is also this phenomenon called ''bringing back very old franchises to the gaming world of today'' that we're mostly seeing from Capcom (and Konami). Bionic Commando Rearmed (though a remake of a old NES game) never looked as good and was never as fun as today, same goes for R-Type Dimensions very soon. A new 3D version is even coming out! They're even talking about bringing Strider back for a new generation of gamers to experience the greatness that it once was, but in a different style. This generation really is great you know, for both HD gamers and ''old school'' ones.
I have to admit though, after reading your post twice, I still don't get what you have against country music! o_O
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
