Haven't read Malstrom's post, but gumby_trucker's. It's a problem that has long been in the making. If you aren't fond of "mature" games, then the current video game industry doesn't have much to offer. What is worse is that there are people who are calling for Nintendo to push in the same direction, oblivious to the fact that the industry is heavily gravitating towards the one game formula to rule them all.

This is very true, a comment you nailed in back in the Tomb Raider thread. If it isn't an RPG, Sports, or Racing game, everything else seems to either be severely diminished in output or converging to one play style (some hybrid of CoD and Uncharted)

Especially prevalent in Western games. For all the praise those guys get, so much of what they put out just clones each other.
