i feel the same way
right now though im playing through some refreshingly innovative titles such as GTA3 and The Summoner which i thouroughly enjoy..
i think recently the push has been more towards great multiplayer, or graphics.. when all i really want is something that i can sit down and play for hours on end..
Summoner is the only game this generation i have played for 8 hours straight on (i only turned it off because i died after having not saved in some time)
