There are still some good games out there.
Although they are getting harder to find.
And so says Evil Bob, and so it is. ( '')

Yes. A lote of games are becoming boring, and I think we can blame the desire for shiny graphics. But there are still a new gems out there that carry the sweet sweet scent of true effort.

psst, people are just geting lazy. I have many Ideas for games that wouldn't get boring for at least a month, but no it won't appeal to some groupd or be too violent...

I think we need more template games from templates that haven't been exploited to death yet, like the structured ass-kicking experience of the Bouncer, or the violent sportiness of NFL Blitz / Hitz / Arch Rivals, or the stealth based killing game (Tenchu anyone?).

Almost every idea has been done, but not every idea has been done enough.

I agree with Garr.. these new games are just the same old stuff rehashed.. oh well.. I have decided to play each .hack game as it is released and every FF game (well ok maybe not FF11) but the other ones..

I like the lesser graphics, the kinds that are 3D but you can see the pixles, like counterstrike. The less godly graphics you have, chances are the better the game.

No good-graphic game will ever beat out Mike Tyson's Punch Out for the Nintendo. I think that the good single player game is increasingly becoming rare and outdated while the multi-player type games are taking over.

Whenever I get a new game and my freinds see it they ask if it has a multiplayer option.

Do you blame them? Any game can be good, but that same game can be that much better with a group of friends. Imagine SSB without Multi, think about how long THAT would've lasted.

Well I am haveing trouble thinking of an example but, sometimes its just rediculous... to the point where I don't even respond just give a cold stare full of contempt for shattering my fragile universe.
