We’ve all played great next generation games… I hope. By next-gen of course I mean current gen. I’m actually not too fond of people calling the 360 and PS3 next-gen because it’s arguably current gen. I mean 360 especially since it’s been out for longer as you all know. My view on it is since it’s the second holiday season for all consoles, then this means hardware right now is current gen.
ANYWAYS.. Back to the actual point of the blog post; the least next generation game you’ve played. What I mean of coarse is gameplay. Next gen gameplay in my opinion is in games like Gears; Which IMO started the real next gen push. Assassin’s Creed is pretty next-gen even if some of you really dislike the game as any with eyes can see. LittleBigPlanet, Mass Effect, Uncharted, MGS4, Super Smash Bros Brawl and Mercenaries 2 (I’m not a fan of the series but I can’t deny it looks good) all look to be very good examples of games that house very next generation gameplay. **Comment on any games you think I forgot that have next gen gameplay**
So to the main question: What games have you played that you personally think are just like Xbox or PS2 games with pretty graphics (If That)?
There’s so many to choose from in this generation.. I really can’t choose just one. Hmm.. I see a pattern in publishers for this

ANYWAY... MOST ports for Wii suck... and about 80% of the titles available just plain FAIL as well. I'm talking about all the tiles that are all about the "COULDA" and never about the "SHOULDA."
For example... what on earth is THIS?

I don't know about you, but I'm not about to find out what this game entails... Pal's Hot Sex... PART 2?! - WTF?! ... Ooooh... Horses... Right.
(But then there IS sweet-sweet-sweet-sweet-sweet victory in those few others)
Like with Hollywood, original ideas in gaming don't make much money these days, and there fro rarely see the light of day. Everything is a sequel or a remake, because they all have pre-installed fan bases. But they also tend to be as boring a dry crackers on white bread.
Hence my "Not exciting" post a few doors down.
If this was a forum post, then I would reply with Halo 3
Games with next-gen gameplay, or rather gameplay practically impossible on the previous gen's systems, in my opinion: Dead Rising for its crowd mechanics, Wii Sports' motion control, Stranglehold for (the personally disappointing) destructible environments, Metroid Prime 3 for its aiming interface, Halo 3 for Forge, Elder Scrolls Oblivion for world building/scope, and Fight Night Round 3 for the visual representation of damage taken.
Why does it feel like I'm in crazy land?
...No, not really.
Ehrm, Perfect Dark Zero.
Gears of War, when I first picked it up, I thought it was Kill.Switch with roadie run and shiny graphics. Although that part with the Kri, and the Fenix Estate were cool levels.
Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is considered a next-gen game, but it did absolutely nothing new for the genre... Portal on the other hand, is very fresh, I think it's the first non-violent, non-shooter shooter I've ever really finished feeling super satisfied and great.
As for next gen: I define next-gen as experience made only possible on a new system and has no precedent, Thus: Fl0w, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect (Holy Fucking Wowsome universe, although framerate is allaround shit...), The cinametic feel of the gameplay, shooting and traversal, in Uncharted. Portal as mentioned above... That's prety much it I think...
It would of been good if it was a free java game
