Not since the Golden Age of graphic adventures by Lucas Arts and Sierra, and great single player rpgs from SSI and Origin in the eighties.

On the other hand Japanese gaming during the same time period transformed itself into an artistic medium comparable to what was on American PCs during the glory years of SSI, Sierra, Infocom, Origin, and Lucas Arts. It is true that the 360 has had some Japanese exclusives but with games like WKC and Yakuza selling so much better than...
