I'm currently playing Splinter Cell Blacklist and the lens flares and shining objects everywhere are so stupid and can't be turned off, like shining a flashlight in player's eyes at all times. I can't believe hundreds of people make and test these games but it is one or two idiots in the upper positions who decide to do this stupidity.
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.
