And thankfully, I personally think we are seeing more risks being taken by developers and publishers these days, so I feel we are moving in the right direction. Sony taking a game like Heavy Rain under its wings seems like such a step to me, and I also feel that more games are coming out with good stories and character development.

 I agree with you 100% on Heavy Rain though.   If that comes out as good as it could then I'm hogging my brother's PS3 from my nephew and playing it.   LBP can wait. lol.   I also agree there are some (few) companies pushing this envelope - Bioware most notably comes to mind.  WoW also has mass appeal.  Guitar Hero. Fable.  But these are the exceptions rather than the rule.

Heavy Rain is probably the game I am most excited about this year, maybe even this entire generation. Especially after I played Fahrenheit a couple of months ago. If Quantic Dream can pull off Heavy Rain like they have promised, it would be a dream come true!

And I am very much looking forwars to Dragon Age, it seems like BioWare took a lesson from The Witcher, and are making the fantasy WRPG of the generation!
