The problem is that you forgot to pay attention to Fable 2, Little Big Planet, Spore, PixelJunk Eden, etc.

This is the shooter era. Although, that's not to say that there aren't awesome games in other genres as well.

Its only a shooter era if that is how you are determined to see it. There have always been more shooters than other games.

Really now?

Huh, must've missed that huge shooter sector of the PS1/N64 era that overwhelmed every other genre on those platforms. ;)

All the shooters of this era were on the pc due to the lack of power in cosoles.

Now that consoles have essentially caught up to their pc brethern in terms of capabilities, shooters have found a new home with a larger audience.

There are plenty of games this gen that aren't shooters. It's not that big of a deal. Were people talking about the sad state of gaming when you couldn't walk two feet without tripping over a fighting game in the late 90's? How about the avalanche of GTA clones in the early part of this decade? Not really. There is, and has always been, a choice. Gaming is just fine. No need to worry.

It's hard to see all the variety when you only look at the shooters.

I love shooters so this is great. I just don't like all the "dark" shooters. Need more games with good art direction like Uncharted.

Yeah, it's just the shooter era. Still, I'd like to see more TBS games, and business simulation games. Even though that's asking for the impossible :P.
