I hate reviews that give a game a lower score because it isn't revolutionary enough for their standards. A good game is a good game in my book. It doesn't have to change the whole formula to be great.

You can't evaluate games in a vacuum, like any other medium. Doing something for the fourth, fifth, tenth, or twentieth time isn't going to have the same appeal as it did the first. Surprising and innovating is a key part to making a game exceptional.

So this. It seems there is a group of people who want last gen repeated, only prettier. These remakes and remasters of games only 12 months old are testament to that. I would definitely prefer some innovation. Especially considering games running at 1080p/60fps are nothing new to me.

Yeah, this has been a pretty shitty generation so far. Nintendo Land, Wonderful 101, and Zombi U were the only games to really grab my attention (if only Zombi wasn't so glitchy). Sunset Overdrive looks neat. Hopefully E3 will show off some more ambitious projects.

ZombiU multiplayer was clever, and so was W101 (pretty much everything about it). I didn't think they were amazing games though. I've spent most of the last year catching up on PS3 exclusives I've missed out on and getting rid of my Steam backlog. I also played through WWHD & 3DWorld when they came out and found them enjoyable.

Zombi U definitely wasn't amazing. Graphics were decent at best, and the game was glitchy as hell. With that being said, the game was very creative in a number of ways. I loved the inventory and skill system and the way they dealt with death. Definitely screamed rush job, but to me, innovation usually offsets execution.
I did think W101 was amazing. Beautiful graphics, smooth animation, great gameplay, and a pretty amusing script. Plus, it had punch out with giant robots. Awesome all around.
I bought WWHD and 3D World. Both of them were very good, but I felt like I'd played them before, and in the case of WW I had. I enjoyed them, but I couldn't get super excited.
