Anyway, I am becoming very dissatisfied with this generation. The Wii is mostly cookie-cutter budget releases that replace mindless button-mashing with mindless controller-waggling. The 360 has a bunch of super-short glitchy games that aren't worth half of their $60. I don't have a PS3 but it's game library is mostly the same as the 360's anyway. I think the DS is the best system of this generation, sad as that sounds.
dunno about the DS being the best of this gen, i don't think any one console deserves the title of being best system. It boils down to the games and there's only really a handful that stick in my mind as AAA:
COD4: 360
oblivion: 360
mario galaxy: wii
jean de arc: psp
puzzle quest: ds
(NB i don't own a PS3)
I agree with your sentiments. For example i can't believe how much of a let down bioware have been with mass effect when they made such gold like jade empire and knights of the old republic 1 (second one was a let down plot wise).
since there haven't been many top tier titles recently i've been concentrating on the gems of the last gen - finally got around to playing/completing shadow of the colossus, psychonauts next on my list is prince of persia (sands of time) and god of war 1
