Really, wow, ok, so, I guess, the Sims, one of the more popular games, at the time was an amazing peice of artwork. Tetris, which is always popular, just beautiful, there is a whole huge list there which i cant be bothered going into.. PS: For the hardcore game Quake always had shit graphics, although was the first '3d game' that i had played, and was just an amazing experience (Specially online!!), tho i always prefered duke 3d in the graphical department. Its not about graphic whore, or gameplay whore, its about the experience. Anyone who says the Wiimote is a fad, bah, it could be, but apparently the nintendo d-pad was, and dont forget the atari, probably the motorvehicle was as well (why wouldnt you want to walk?) PS: We have all gotten along without great graphics before, and people remember that, sure when i see xbox/ps3 games, i think 'fuck thats great' then i remember, 'fuck that is expensive, and i have a huge loan'...

Don't forget GTA was considered to be a groundbreaking title that, by all accounts, became one of the PS2's first "kiler apps", and it did this inspite of looking like crap. And I'd like to see your facts that prove their are more graphics whores than gameplay whores, or atleast sales figures that prove this(hint: the Wii vs. PS3 sales figures proves your wrong) PS: I wasn't implying that your "cerebral skills are imparied", just that you have no clue what irony is, let alone how it's not the same thing as joking or sarcasm. Then again your post are often overflowingly ironic, so maybe you know more on this topic than I do....
