Gaming is in a pretty sorry state. Every PS3 and 360 game looks exactly the same. Beyond MGS4, neither of those consoles have ANY games that look even vaguely interesting at this point in time. Like I said, I can honestly see no difference between any of the games being produced for either of those consoles.
The Wii looks alright, but so far it's just a bunch of rehashed franchises. Nothing original at all, despite everyone talking about how original it is. How ironic.
The DS remains the last console that is getting consistently original and well-designed games. But... I looked at Game Informer's review of New Super Mario Brothers; it was very positive. However, speaking to Kefit about it, he told me that, having spent time with the game, it really had no soul. This was something I had suspected about New SMB since I first heard about it. Unfortunately, apparently its lack of soul is true. Really, I don't even know why Nintendo would remake Super Mario Brothers in the first place. :/
Yoshi's Island 2 is the game I will buy a DS for. If Nintendo screws it up, I won't even have faith in them anymore.
God, I miss the days of the Genesis and SNES.
There are still good games nowadays, don't get me wrong, but they're so much harder to find. And the worst part is that no one cares about them. No one cares about soul anymore. They care about Halo 3 and GTA IV and god knows what other crap that's ruining gaming.
Sigh... Game Informer always deeply depresses me. I'm just glad that companies like NISA and Atlus still exist, or else we'd be in even sorrier shape.
