The last amazing game for me was Batman Arkham Asylum (2009). Fallout New Vegas (2010) and Enslaved (2010) were great too. Sleeping Dogs (2012) was the last new big game I enjoyed. It is official - the Dark Age started in 2013 and will continue for at least 7 years, even Vanga predicted this. You can call it the Age of Rehashed Games if you want, I allow it.

Started way before then - more like mid 2008. Bugger all innovation has really occured over most of the last gen, and the power limits of the consoles held back progression for close to a decade. The only game that will blow everything out of the water will be Star CItizen for the PC as that is cutting edge and being made for fun rather than profit.

Being innovative doesn't necessarily mean something is good...

True, but I would rather have a series that always tries to innovate rather than rehash the same fking game year on year. Why? Because there is a chance that even the worst dev would accidently come up with a good idea after that many attempts, whereas doing the same thing guarantees stagnation.
