I agree too. I've tried a lot of the big name games with great reviews this generation and very very few have really kept me engaged at all. I am wondering if it is me changing and having less interest in gaming or if the industry is just getting ridiculously formulaic. Maybe a bit of both. In any case I think there are way too many "Nickelback" games out there, and the critics are either blind or paid off by the developers/publishers.
