Nope. Best generation yet. Too many good games to play.

Games that are 'revolutionary' are in the eye of the beholder. I look at Fallout 3 with VATs, the WiiMote (and associated games), Mass Effect, and others and think this generation has been very good to us. Oh, and it has a few more years left in it.

I don't think that the PS2/Xbox generation really did anything 'new' versus the N64/PS1 generation, which saw the 2D/3D transition which was huge. You can make your Halo citations, but I'd point back to it's ripoff of Goldeneye.

What is revolutionary? Is it a new transition to a medium that leaves previous methods obsolete? We've had a bit of that with downloadable games and the WiiMote this generation, coupled with far more robust online services. Gaming wise, there has been a lot of great stuff this gen - more emphasis on co-op, great storytelling, HD, and all kinds of other stuff. Not to mention the huge push for multi-plat games which have brought most consoles games that they may not have seen a generation or two ago.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
