Great games are still being made but if you just look at some original game franchises that have been ruined, by turning them into impersonal popcorn action games:
- Hitman
- Tomb Raider
- Splinter Cell
- Deus Ex
It's hard to resist buttmad when looking at that list.
Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.
