I find myself becoming more and more aware of how automatic games are becoming. It feels like most of them are doing half the work for me, and it seems that it's only going to get worse. I remember reading a preview on Destructoid of one game where you take cover by simply pointing at the object you want to be behind, at which point your character just goes there himself while vaulting over any obstacles in the way. Why? Why do this? I thought the whole point of video games is that we play them, not watch them.
With that in mind, I was hoping you guys could recommend some recent games that actually value the players input, rather than just playing themselves. Think less Arkham Asylum and more Mirror's Edge (except preferably less terrible.)
