It seems mediocrity is the rule these days...
After what could have been an onslaught of great games to choose from, it looks as if the developers gave in to the pressure of having to release the games before the holiday season started.
All ratings from ign.com: Soldier of Fortune Payback: 6.1 (admittedly, the prior SOF games weren't great, at least consistency is the model in this franchise) Kane and Lynch: 7.0 (looks like a rental, what a shame, I had high hopes for this one) Blacksite Area 51: 6.4 Beowulf: 4.0 Cabella's Big Game Hunter: 5.0 Fear Files: 6.7 Clive Barker Jericho: 5.6 Sim City Societies: 5.8 Hellgate London: 6.8

yeah, mass effect, orange box, mario galaxy, uncharted, ratchet and clank, (assassins creed), CoD4, crysis, rock band, what a mediocre line up. [/ QUOTE ] Those games are the exception to the rule. I left out most of the recent reviews and the list of mediocre/awful games would be even longer.

Re: It seems mediocrity is the rule these days...
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.

Re: It seems mediocrity is the rule these days...
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.

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.
