I’m going to say I have to agree. I’m almost to the point where I’ve stopped buying games now. Last two I’ve bought have been Little Big Planet and Razor’s Edge.

I have to say that LBP has been by far the most well received game by my wife, and all my neighbors, who regularly stop by to pay me a visit and play the game. A big hit at parties too. It puts the social back into gaming.

Let’s hope to see some major innovation soon.

You know, I was thinking about this and you’re right, Eric. There are many original games if you look for them or least titles that do something different.

Maybe we shouldn’t be so concerned it with as it might cause another problem to arise in video game development, haha. You know, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Bah! I think there is still plenty of originality left in games these days.

EA took some crazy chances last year by giving us two brand new franchises. Dead Space and Mirror’s Edge, both of which brought fresh, original ideas to the tired FPS genre.
