Dead Space. I thought it would be fun but I didn't think it would scare the crap out of me.

Hear hear. I thought it would just be a lame rip-off of "Resident Evil 4 in Space" but it turned out to be much more terrifying and more well developed than any other survival horror game in recent memory.

The shear amount of mediocrity was overwhelming!

I agree with you, Preds, on a certain level. But I think it's just that the greatness that came out in 2007 seems to put 2008 to shame. I for one liked the new art directions brought about this year in Dead Space, Mirrors Edge, and Prince of Persia.

Bah'... this whole 'generation' has been a snore-galore for me.

What? You don't love how every game on these new consoles are nothing but apocalyptic shooters with a gray tinge?!

You, sir, must be insane!

While I do think that the best games were on the N64, PS2, Xbox era, there were some great games this generation, Preds. Games like Bioshock and Halo 3 have proven to be both entertaining and engrossing. What is your opinion on it?

I know you didn't ask for my opinion but it is kinda difficult to match up to the games on the 'older' consoles.

Bioshock and Halo 3 were great in their own right but, I mean, how can you match up one of these games today to a game that had near perfect gameplay from the past?
