most games are boring, not just PC games. Infact console games are often even more boring since they simplify the games to appeal to the broadest demographic.

I'd say about 5% of games on any platform are actualy worth playing. Since about 10% of games are a huge success and make up for the rest, I think most people probably feel the same way. Not everyone likes the same games, so there's still a big potential market out there.

I for one can't stand the sims, and spore looks like the most boring game ever. I tend to dislike FPS for their simplicity, and racing games for their lack of feel and poor AI.

At the end of the day, a lot of us have simply played too many games over the years, and so we have become some what jaded and bored of whats out there. Someone new to gaming can still have a great experience with new games based on old themes because they havent played a variation of the same game dozens of times before.
