Are the new games releasing really that good?

Just like it says. Are you really impressed where the current generation of gaming is going? How long has it been since you played something "New" and felt it was really worth the time and money spent on it?

Not really a new game, but I loved Shadow of the Collosus. The atmosphere was awesome and I found the puzzles fun.

Xbox : Simpsons Hit and Run - and this was in 2005 for both the system and the game

I have absolutely no interest in the PS3, Wii, or Xbox 360.

I've been barely playing my PS2 in the past year and very few of the games were remotely interesting. Shining Force Neo was fun for a few hours... but of course how can you possibly play the game longer than that with the horrible voice acting, clichéd plot, and generic bland gameplay.

God Of War was an over hyped piece of crap. What a terrible game. Yea sure the graphics are so nice but so what? I already played this before and had a lot more fun. Rygar and Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Those games were fun and enjoyable. I didn't feel like playing the same thing again though.

Shadow Of The Colossus did have great graphics. However running around on a retarded horse trying to find where the next giant is? Nothx. I got bored after fighting that eel underwater. The fights are breathtaking and simply gorgeous however the lack of plot and the boring exploration of an empty environment (except the lizards and apples) really killed it for me.

I got a hold of the first Xenosaga and I actually thought I was going to finish it. I was really really enjoying it and got 3/4's through the game. Then all the sudden it turned really hard with very difficult enemy fights so I dropped it after mass frustration. I will finish it... one day.

Super Mario 64. Everything since then has just been refining an old concept.

The Wii almost captured the same feeling with Wii Sports, but fell a little short. Still, it was enough to keep me addicted for a couple of months, which is more than any game from the PS2/Xbox/GameCube generation can say.

I have high hopes for the Wii still, and I really like where Nintendo is taking it with the variety of neat little channels. I have no interest in the Xbox 360 and PS3... Too "same-y".
