I find checking out current game releases a bit like going to the video store - most of it is miserable, cliched sh*t that I would be embarassed to e caught watching - some of it is moderately to well done (but doesn't interest me) and a very few are well done and do interest me.
It's all about 'buy-in' and for me that comes down to not just play mechanics but also what the designers have done in terms of the game world, characterisation and storyline.
I'm pretty sure I'd be classed as (ahem) a connoisseur.
