I've got to say that my overall perspective is quite a bit different ...
I think some great games have quite a bit of crossover appeal which makes them fairly accessable for everyone while alienating a small group of gamers (who look for a more pure experience), while others are targeted towards a specific target demographic who love the game but they become far less enjoyable to everyone else.
For me, Oblivion is a game which takes the PC/Western style RPG too far (which makes it frustrating and thus borring) while Halo 3 is far too shallow in comparison to the FPS that I really enjoy (which makes it too simple and thus borring) ...
