That was a nice read, and I agree and I've found myself enjoying more indie games cause they're just mindless fun 
the games I'm enjoying the most at the moment though are single player games some have some really thrilling story lines if you just let your imagination go... but the most fun I have is kicking your ass Tarryn HAHAH!

...games for the sake of gaming with less of gender, platform and gerne splits.
indie quite fun, one have to take a break from just playing the so called "AAA" and try other things out like those unplayed oldies and the indie games

You're such a bully.

There's definitely a shortage of "labor of love" type development these days and that's why I'm not nearly as excited about gaming as I used to be. It really has become a money-making-corporate-make-more-profits type deal. It's just like koldFU5iON said, indie games are where there's a lot more passion put into the projects. Mind you it's not all doom and gloom, with companies like Bioware, Blizzard and Valve still showing a passion for the work they do.

I've been spending a lot of time playing games on my PS2 because I'm somewhat disappointed with the selection of games available for the new generation. Only recently was the spark rekindled when I got my hands on Heavy Rain and thought, "wow, here's a bunch of guys and girls who have really put their hearts into making something great." I mean, R700 is a lot of money to spend a couple of hours so I would like the hours to be worth it. I remember spending R600 on Grand Theft Auto 4 and I still haven't finished it because, while it is a fun game, there's something that's not bringing me back to it. I found myself replaying Grand Theft Auto San Andreas instead - and that only cost R300. I can't quite put my finger on it, and I don't want to say that I'm demanding, but I'd rather spend R600 - R700 on something epic that will leave me with happy, buzzing feelings afterwards. I can get my quick fix of "fun" from something like Peggle or even the free, indie games that come with NAG's DVD. They're awesome, but when I'm buying I need to be careful about what I'm spending my money on.
I've been playing games for about 18 years now and I'm impressed far less now than I was before. Maybe that's me not changing with the time, maybe I'm getting old or maybe something has gone a bit funny with the gaming industry. Thing is, I have very little faith in it today. Square Enix used to be one of my favourite developers until FF XIII because that game felt less like a game and more like CGI porn.
Additionally, what really gets to me sometimes is the way some of my friends say, "Sure, I'd play that but the graphics are crap so I wouldn't enjoy it." $%*&#?! There are some incredible games that were available for the PSone, such as Abe's Odyssey, and I've watched people call it horrible because it didn't live up to their eye-ball popping, blood-spewing God of War 3 (which is good, but you know what I mean?). Not sure what point I'm trying to make, then again I'm not entirely sure why I'm not enjoying today's games as much as I enjoyed yesterday's games.

That's just not the case at all - you're just comparing older games vs newer ones. Warcraft 2 was graphically quite impressive when it came out. If anything poor graphics can often signify poor overall game quality. Been playing a lot of mario galaxy 2 recently (in PC emulator) and the graphics are outstanding - they match the quality of the gameplay.

Until they find the next big thing that sells
Right now games are generally looking and playing amazingly, but something is missing, too bad the 'Neux and his games are pretty much always a letdown. Decent titles, but again, missing something. Hell if I know, need to workout what this X factor is and bottle it!
