What happened to all the good games and consoles? It seems that 2004, 2005 and 2006 were some of the best years for games/consoles. The PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and the games that went with them were legendary. NFSU2 and Zelda: The Legend of The Windwaker were the two best games for PS/Xbox/Gamecube. Now these days it seems that the only games coming out that make it big are those that make your IQ drop about 40 points, EX: Call of Duty and leaning towards this, Battlefield. Other games like Homefront, Skyrim, Fallout 3 and New Vegas were pretty good but New Vegas had a story line that looked like it got eaten by a cat, crapped out, gobbled up by a dog then puked up into a sewer. Sure, getting shot in the head and then miraculously surviving because some strange robot dug you out of the ground is cool, but Fallout 3 had a great story line that was much better. Not to mention the guy who voiced your dad is Liam Neeson. Yes. Its true. In Fallout 3 you are Liam Neeson's kid. But with Call of Duty and Battlefield, you're getting less and less of new content, and more and more of the same thing yet everyone wets themselves like an over-excited dog.
Call of Duty is just repetitive nonsense, MW1, MW2, MW3, and probably MW4,5,6,7,8,9,10 ect... all the way up to 20 until we finally nuke Russia because the US is too good for the rest of the world. Battlefield is pretty much the same, except I think it'll end at Battlefield 4. Every time we get a new Battlefield or CoD game we're fighting the Russians. At least the developers of Fallout, Homefront and those of the like decided not to go mainstream like all the other lemmings. If you ask me, nobody in the game-making industry has the mind to make a good story line for a game anymore. All they want is money and try to brainwash the little kids/20 year old fat guys who sit on their butts and play CoD all day so they can get even more cash out of them when the next game comes out/DLC is available.
Oh well. Rant over.

There are still good games, but you are right that the mainstream titles have been really dumbed down in recent years
But don't give up hope, there are still a lot of great games being released - see my thread further down regarding Hotline Miami for example :aok

I've played BF3 it's actually a really fun game to play with friends. Haven't played any of the other BF's but it looks to me like they keep making major improvements from videos of BFBC2, 1943, etc.

During the PS period PES was a sim and FIFA an arcade game, FIFA09 is the first FIFA to excel itself passed PES.

The Uncharted series has been the #1 rated game year in and year out.
Assassins Creed series is still going strong.
DragonAge has a good fish hook once you start playing. Has a good story line in the games and DragonAge 3 is coming out next year.
God of War series, God of War 4 comes out next year.
Not an xbox user but Halo 4 comes out in November
Imo I think CoD has sucked since the first MW. I am very impressed with BF3. The graphics blow CoD out of the water and the gameplay does as well. More of a strategy involved in BF3 unlike CoD which is just run around and spray which goes along with the gamey aspect to it. EA also has BF3 coming out with continued updates as well.
Last of us which was made by the same company that did Uncharted is due out next year. If they make it anything like Uncharted, it will become game of the year as well.
The next Grand Theft Auto comes out next year.
I posted this earlier but I am curious how DUST 514 will turn out after the Beta with its direct link to EVE online.
If your into the kind of game, Dead Space series. That game scares the sh*t out of me though. Played it once and was freaked out by it. Yall can laugh.
