It's really fucking sad that people don't play videogames to PLAY them anymore; most games are a power-point presentation practically today. Nobody seems to remember what made (and makes) NES games so fun.

Have you played Fire Emblem?  That is a game that has tremendous amounts of storyline, but I feel it still manages to focus on the gameplay aspects of the game.  It is clear that Nintendo understands what gaming is about, its too bad several internet bloggers think a game is no good unless it has high quality cut scenes and advanced shader effects.

@McStorym1, what should Guitar Hero/RockBand score?

 

 

As I said, any game without excellent writing and a storyline should not score higher than 5 or 6 at the most. Guitar Hero could easily fit in a storyline if the game creators took the time (up and coming rockstar plot, etc) same for most sports games. Most movies even with decent storylines get burned by critics and that mentality should be applied to games as well. That way game creators may be forced to finally start writing decent storylines which something much needed in the games industry today.
