Modern games lack originality! (Score 1)

The thing is, in my opinion video gaming has gone down hill drastically since the SNES died and all this next- next gen console stuff started. The arcade scene has all but died, all you ever see are new racing/ beat 'em up games from about 3 companies (Namco, Sega + Capcom) and I can count the number of good games that I've played on PC, DC and PSX on one hand (Doom, Quake series, Rtype Delta and Blast Radius on PSX- but I admit Lemmings Revolution looks quite good). Where has all the originality gone? Games these days just depend on having the best 3D engines to display the most detailed bad guys. I much rather have a 4 player on Gauntlet or Vendetta on DC MAME!
