I like games with good replay ability. I find games that make you tunnel through their single path through storyline a pain-in-the-you-know-where, and quickly dump them with rapidity of poison. And goes for a lot of games.

For me, If I wanted to do something difficult, I'd just stay at work. And I'm not there to do that, I want to play and fun. And thats means do whatever the heck I want without having to deal with stupid annoying constraints - like puzzles, linear storylines if you don't do X right now your screwed or any such silliness.

Now, as for why the games seem to be getting easier?
1) Well, Maybe it's that your getting Jaded, and have the been there done that syndrome of game play. Meaning the developers are introducing anything new to the game, and you've got into the reflexive A happens, do B without thinking.
2) Perhaps companies push to get games out the door quickly is leading to less due diligence in writing good games. We've got box stores, box house, box-like clothing, why not games that cheaply regraphiced copies of cheap old code? (Oh wait a minute, We've already got that, it's Madden football.)
or my personal favorite reason ~
3) Maybe it's always been a crummy game and it's taken you this long to notice it!

Complete with strains of Microsoft's goings on over DR-DOS of old. Need some ref material on this angle? You could try - http://thismatter.com/articles/microsoft.htm

Well gee, why should the teacher be at fault for the moron's own actions? If he wants to be a Darwin award winner, it's not the teachers job to tie him up in a straight jacket. Perhaps, parents should sign him up for a gun safety class, so he can try again and maybe get it right... Sheesh!

One very important correction - I don't trust them, the government trusts them. Which probably explains why a lot of people don't trust the government...

Nah... Most of them probably are already repeat customers anyhow. Trust me on this, coming from a bible thumping town, the one thing I learned is the total hypocrisy of church goers. The louder they yell about something, the more likely their doing that very thing when nobody is looking.

Our town was big on anti-alcoholism. And there were two things in high numbers in our town, churches and liquor stores. Of course, nobody thought it was odd that the highest traffic time for liquor sales occurred just before & after services.

But they got incredibly cheesed off when I started photographing the parking lots of both places and later printing the results in the local school paper! :)

The only job I ever /really wanted/ was one involving getting off this forsaken planet, and twit arsed people like you just keep mucking it up for me. I could care less about all your capitalistic corporate profit mongering evil smegging stuff your going on about. Now go back to kneeling before your symbol of torture and your imaginary friend called 'dog'. And if you get that, maybe you won't be here when another one of your kind decides it's more profitable to drop a planet buster behind them when they follow the rest of us off of here.

This is why I want to get out of the US... Profit mongering gone berserk!

Bravo! I haven't seen such a display of flaming stupidity in a while. So, you disagree with Drinkypoo's viewpoint and that he can express it before you can, so you decide the devolve into name calling. Did anyone ever tell you that you might just be a bloody slow reader?

Well, at least now we have proof that the mod point system is totally indiscriminate, because it's giving out points to individuals who probably don't deserve them in the first place...

Without Weird Al? AIEEEEE!!! {Runs for the hills}

Two MANswers shows basically dissing British girls, I'm wondering "What's with all the axe grinding going on here? Did someone in the media circles get his nads caught in the celebrity bad rumor button masher with a British gal?"

Light his farts as punishment?!?
