Where are all the good games nowadays?

"Simcity Societies" has been denounced as brainless drivel lacking consistency in its own rules.

"World in Conflict" has been said to simply guide a player down set strategies.

"Bioshock" sounds great in theory, but any game containing a rootkit to happily compromise my system - no thank you.

2. I'm wondering the same thing

A WWI flight sim and PT Boats: Knights of the Sea are still way out there on the horizon. Other games these days just don't look like they'd be worth it. Medieval: Total War was a total bust and ever since I've been hesitant to buy new games. The only one I've gotten recently is Silent Hunter IV, and it's too demanding to run properly on my system, unfortunately. Even so, it took until the third patch before the community agreed that it was even worth playing.

3. Bioshock's got more issues than the rootkit

Although that was the most annoying part about it. I didn't realize it until I'd already installed the game. :(

Warning: Foul language at the link. But the review is damn funny.
