Wow, took a while to find out what this topic is all about.

Anyway, I remember Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation) once say (or at least something like this); "I miss the times when games could be about a cake-eating-space-cowboy and a unicorn-donkey on a quest for a golden cherry-twinkle".

I miss those times too. But hey, graphics are pretty now so everything must be realistic per definition, say the fools who run this business.

I say bring back the crazy gameplay concepts and exceptional art direction!
