Hedley - you are the epitome of whats wrong with the current gaming market. photo realistic graphics does not a good game guarantee. sure, some good looking games are also great - but lets look back historically to all the best games. none of them had 1080p 32bit anti-aliased 256 z-buffered 3 pass anisotropic filtering with bezier phong mipmapping. all of them had simple layouts, suggestive pixels or polygons and a hell of a lot of gaming.
'as an adult' in my mid-thirties I am very happy with gaming on the Wii. I was also happy with the gamecube and the PS2. the xbox360 (and in some ways the PS3) is simply a high-spec PC slipped into a console-ish shaped box. PC gaming to the masses.
