I think people are overreacting a bit. I don't see all where all this "games suck nowadays" comes from; there have always been shitty games in the market; overhyped and dissappointing shitty games; as a matter of fact I think that the industry is giving us more games to choose from than ever before; there are A LOT of games out there: good, bad, indie, mainstreem; puzzles, FPS's, Action, action-adventure, RPG's, action RPG's, stratigy RPG's, RTS's, TBS's, MMORPG's, Jesus Christ there is something (or a lot) for everyone, just pick you're game (a lot of them are actually very good if people just stop being so negative about it), and why does everyone have to constantly complain? The only grudge I have against the gaming industry these days is that things are a bit overblown; what I mean is that games would rather impress you than entertain you (specifically the FPS genre, which I'm not fond of at all) but that is something I can hardly complain about because I only play what I like (RPG's, adventure games, and the likes... oh and I actually enjoyed Gears of War). So as long as I know what I like and what I enjoy playing (and as long as games are being created) games will always be something to have fun with, a form of escape to a virtual world, as opposed to something that stresses me out because I choose to only embrace everything that's negative about it.
