Graphic Whores forgot what gaming really is about

That or people who say graphics don't matter at all are accepting mediocrity. Look at Uncharted 2, It has (arguably) the best graphics this gen and its also (arguably) one of the best games overall this gen. Just because a game looks amazing doesn't mean its bad.

Works both ways...

I find that people who just stare at the pretty visuals on the screen and are contempt with pushing square everyonce in a while when the screen says so are accepting mediocrity as well.

Uncharted 2 is a great game, and not just the visuals...but there re many games which go off on a visual tantrum and really provide very little control or gameplay involvement.

The problem the industry is finding itself in is that with the "visuals first" approach, the product quality starts to be proportional with the $$$ invested with production and not gameplay ideas involved.

Well yeah I agree a game can't just be visually nice and have no gameplay, but its certainly possible to have both.
