Elite is still the greatest game ever. Jet Set Willy and Matchday get special honours.

It depends on what you class as original as well I guess. Stuff like the gravity gun in HL2 was pretty cool, though FPS's are pretty much all the same these days in some respect - but thats like saying all action movies are the same - it just depends on how good or bad it is that makes it enjoyable.

Try some freeware games or stuff like Uplink / Darwinia etc if you want something more new and original.

In fact, let me work it out..

HL2 and Counter Strike Source.
DAOC
Lord of the Rings Online
WoW
Battlefield 2 and BF 2142.
Champ manager 2007

i bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R and titan quest and i was really really really disappointed, i couldn't believe how bad they were.
Stalker apart from amazing graphics was pretty much an HL2 rip off and Titan quest was just a poor mans diablo 2 with the same graphics!

There are 1 or 2 games i am eagerly awaiting, one being assasins creed but that will be bought on the xbox 360.... i'm hoping its going to have the same game play style as prince of persia- 2 thrones beacuse that was a truely awesome game and looked great on the ps2

I was looking forward to Hellgate London til I found out they are now planning on making it subs based if you want the full experience :(

Crysis looks spectacular and am looking forward to giving it a whirl.

Other than that, not enough time even to finish HL2 - havent even reinstalled it since rebuilt my PC few mnths ago - all thats installed game wise now is Lotro I think..

I have only played four or five games in the past three years and they were all of the same genre (Dungeon Siege II style) and I am quite glad they still make this type of game - uncomplicated hack 'n slash ftw :).

It's quite hard to think of new game genres though - most of it has already been done or probably isn't worth doing.

Also, gamers are a generally young audience - so that's the market the publishers are aiming for. Who cares about the odd over 30 who has already played umpteen FPS games when there is a zerg of 15-year-old with loads of cash to spend? :-)

I really loved Company of Heros last year, we played the multiplayer for ages "I need a gunna und a loader!"

Other than that castlevania on the DS lite is the only game I've bought in the last year.

Codemasters will be releasing Overlord in a couple of weeks (XBOX360 and PC). This looks quite interesting - a demo is available from the website.

Ah now I know it - I was never fussed on the top down room to room type games for some reason - though saying that I am sure there's probably one or two I have forgotten that were mint...
