I don't see what's so wrong with photograpy-based games--Pokemon Snap was one of my favourite N64 games, because it relaxed me, and it was fun. Of course if you live next to a zoo or if you can go on an actual safari it pales in comparison. But it's like saying a movie like March of the Penguins is a terrible idea because we have Pirates or Beowulf. If we want gaming to be more uniformly accepted, we need to be willing to let it branch out into unexplored (and even 'passive') territory.
