Mid-Generation: loss of impressiveness

Haha just figuring that out now. Once you realize that most of the games have been graphical updates of games that releases in the N64/PS1 era you'll see how monotonous games have really becomes. And sure we'll get a LittleBigPlanet or Wii Sports every now and then but most likely we are just going to keep getting Resistance or Gears 2 or whatever the stereotype of the month is. And sure they look nice and sure they play well... no doubt good games but they've been good for 10 fucking years... don't ya think we deserve something more. But of course the root of the problem is these are the games we continue to buy and the reviewers praise so we probably won't get more.

Hopefully we can start to build on those titles past simply updating them and yes WiiMotionPlus does intrigue me to get more uniquely played games and with games releasing on Wiiware, XBLA, and PSN which seem to be more creative than the retail games.

I'm still waiting for the Psychonauts of this generation. That game seriously had everything I ever asked for from a game and did it all better than I ever expected. Only Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3 and Smash Bros Brawl have satisfied me to a similar extent, but there were still minor flaws that left me wishing something had been fixed. No More Heroes was filled with awesome, but it was a lot like a piece of candy, short, spectacular while it lasted, but you still feel hungry at the end.
