I have several favorite games from each generation from the 3rd and up, but it seems that each new generation has fewer gems than the last, because nobody's trying anything new.

I think the 3rd and 4th generations had the best beat 'em ups, shoot 'em ups, platformers, and RPGs, and the advent of 3-D dumbed them down into hack 'n' slash buttonmashers, FPS, third person adventure, and CGI movies, respectively.

(This is horribly simplifying the matter, but I don't feel like listing exceptions right now. I'll just say that I think controlling 3-D games is better with 3-D controlling methods, like "the wagglez.")

Outside of games that use new interfaces, like Guitar Hero, SoundVoyager, touchscreen games, and motion control games, I already know which developers I can trust, and nothing new is as awesome as Katamari or Portal.

Portal came out in 2007! That is a current-gen game!

Oops.  I totally messed up what I meant to say.

I meant that nothing new (other than Katamari and Portal) is as awesome as Katamari and Portal.  Those are some of the only new games with traditional controller interfaces that introduce new gameplay elements that I'm really madly in love with.
