Pixel Count: Most Missed Game Types?

We gripe quite a bit about the homogenization of games on GamerSushi. One of the most disappointing things about this past generation has been the way publishers and developers have shifted to providing game experiences that feel all too similar. We’ve been through the laundry list of complaints before: RPG mechanics married with Call of Duty style shooting, games that lead you down cut-scene filled tunnels, etc.

However, in the last year or two, we’ve finally had a bit of a break from the attack of the video game clones. With creative titles like XCOM, Monaco, Papers Please, Journey, Walking Dead, Hotline Miami and more, it seems like we’re slipping out of that mid-generation funk of tired, boring military games. And as time goes on, I feel like I keep seeing more reasons to be excited about upcoming games, as people are finally turning the corner. Don’t get me wrong, the shooter will always be popular — but we’re finally seeing more of the variety that the generation started with.

So, with that in mind, let’s have ourselves another edition of Pixel Count. This week, we’re talking about the game types we miss most, and that we hope to see more of in the near future. Start casting your votes and tell us why in the comments. Go!

  1. I think my need for an old-school style X-Wing or TIE Fighter game is reaching a fever pitch, here.

    If Disney is kind, they’ll find the old masters of those games, add a little HD lovin’ and put them on Steam. A man can dream.

    Also, Microsoft, if you could go ahead and do the same with Rise of Nations, that’d be great.

  2. Mitch I agree with the Rise of Nations Notion, also With the space games I find myself missing Space type games, Thats why I cant wait till Star Citizen Comes out.
