I'm still waiting for a Chrono Trigger Remake and Baldur's Gate 3....

This gen is by far the best I think. As a long time Sony gamer (haven't looked back since the PS1), this generation is tits and beyond :) The consoles have insane amounts of flexibility and purpose.

Online gaming is becoming mainstream for consoles, the ability to pick up my controller and play with any person around the world is just cool ^^

The graphics are just insane! I'm seeing creative freedom that I wouldn't imagine possible. You can take one look at the lush environments in Crysis or Uncharted and just feel so connected to the digital world. And on the other end of the spectrum, you have games like Ratchet and Clank futures which can just put you at the edge of total creative freedom as far as graphics are concerned and really makes you wonder if it gets any better.

For us audio fans :D 5.1 and 7.1 uncompressed greatness is FANTASTIC. Playing games like bioshock or condemned get COMPLETELY overhauled thanks to the fantastic surround sound. Not just those two in fact, shooters, action games, hell almost every genre benefits from fantastic sound. This generation is EPIC!

Casual Gaming not only for casuals now. A strange boat I'd find myself in for the previous generations is that I enjoy playing casual games, but I just can't bring myself to purchase them at full price (I love you to death melee but thank god someone else bought you :x ). With additions like PSN, XBL, and Wiiware, I can get my casual fix (pain, everyday shooter, superstardust, PJM etc etc) for a fraction of what I'd pay for a "fully fleshed out title." It's been absolutely amazing that I can get my fix on something that doesn't require me to dedicate my time to justify a purchase. Casual gaming has never been so great for me :)

This generation is just getting started and I'm already head over heels in love ^^ I'm so much more compelled to pick up so many different games, and the functionality is just un-comparable :) My $500 purchase has done more for me than any other entertainment device I think I've ever picked up ^^ and they just keep making the damn thing better!

I thought it was but that could only be because I started going to gaming sites and have become alot more aware of almost every game being made for my console of choice. Where before I never visited online game sites or talked about console sales and really had no idea what games were releasing when. I just picked up whatever in the store that caught my eye or if I saw something interesting in a gamepro that I skimmed. I do enjoy the upgrade in graphics for this gen though.

I think this gen is the best yet. BUt this and the one before it was the only ones I experienced.

Nope. It's still way too early. There haven't even been those great legendary games yet. Nothing has been original this gen. It's either a sequel to this or that.

Right. Portal, Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy, Zack & Wiki, No More Heroes, Viva Pinata, Puzzle Quest... they're all just rip-offs of old games. Nope, nothing original there at all.

I didn't mean there was nothing original but most of the games this gen have been sequels. And the few Originals that have been released haven't been great.

Bioshock was great and original. Super Mario Galaxy was good but features Mario who is an old character. Zack & Wiki is cool but not earth shattering. No More Heroes and the rest are original.

Of course, just because the CHARACTER is the same, that OOOOBVIOUSLY means that game itself is also totally unoriginal, merely by association.

I think that this Gen will be remembered as the last traditional generation of videogames. Next-gen we will expansion on what the Wii started. But yes, this gen is kicking the last 2 in the rear. 3 consoles all selling great, plenty of new IP's. Complete gameplay innovations on the Wii. And best yet, Nintendo's return to dominance.

I still liked last gen better, but this one is pretty good so far. When I get my Pikmin Sequel I'll consider this the best.

I WANT PIKMIN DAMN IT!!!
