Uh I could have told you all but one or two of those were going to suck about 6 months before they came out. Hellgate was a disappointment (although I still think it has potential) and same with Kane and Lynch. That's pretty much it. There are so many really amazing games out right now I don't really have enough time to play them all. I have no clue what you are complaining about.

Go to gamerankings.com, search for the top 30 games in the last 3 months and you'll see how amazing the lineup has been recently.

on the first page for all the reviews on IGN for the 360 the average rating is 6.7 (I didn't include the foreign ratings)..

I don't discount the fact that there are great games out to be played, but to say there are more great or even good games compared to bad games out there is simply not true.

No one has said this. You said that good games were the exception to the rule, which implies incredibly rare. People were simply arguing that this was untrue. Btw I don't think there has been a single time in video game history where more good games came out than bad.

Well, if there aren't enough good games out there right now you've either got too much free time or you won't ever be satisfied.

well, I just picked up Crysis and COD4, we'll see if the later part of what you say is true. Games like Rears of War, the Half-Life franchise, Bioshock, FEAR(the first one), and World in Conflict can spoil a person and make unrealistic expectations for upcoming games..

CoD4? Man, didn't you watch Zero Punctuations review of that? I did, and come to think of it, I'm going to again, since it's so damn funny.

Hey, I just thought of a great phrase! [censored] slap! Good? No? I like it. (the censored word rhymes with 'bunt' and starts with the same letter as the word 'censored', in case anyone is wondering)

Oh crap, that was MoH Airborn, my bad.

Wouldn't it violate the rules of math if all games were above average?
