Something I forgot to mention earlier, I have found that with each gen I complete games less and less even though really in my view they have become easier and easier. Back in the old days before games had saves and before they held your hand I would spend hours at a time trying to complete a game like the Dizzy games. Not sure if they were really tough puzzles or if it was just my age at the time but games were properly hard back then.
I think part of the reason why I'm just happy to play more casually now is that I don't find much of a challenge in games nowadays with the exception of a few choice titles like Demon's Souls and a couple of the DS games like Prof. Layton
