JRPGs on console's suck ass this gen, there's a few good one's like VC, Demons Souls and Persona 4 on PS2 but nothing else really stands out.

I agree, JRPGs. But, I also think RTSs need work as well. There's Civ Revolution, and R.U.S.E. (All I can think of at the moment), but I think great RTSs on consoles are a real possibility.

Would you say movie-tie in games are a genre because if so, they need A LOT of work.

Yeah, JRPGs need something new and fresh. Resonance of Fate is great, but after that it's pretty meh. Valkyria Chronicles is obviously OMG AMAZING, but it's technically a SRPG.

I want some Platformers, too. I just want more of them.

JRPGs. The PS3 JRPG lineup pales in comparison to the PS2, and can't even compete with the PS1. Thank god for WRPGs like Fallout 3/NV though.

FPS. Would love to get some with 20+ hour campaigns. $60+ for 5 hours! Come on.

I was thinking FPS needed some work too. Probably not the worst genre to need work. I would say horror games......like someone posted above there really aren't any good ones this gen. Hopefully Duke Nukem will kick in the old school FPS days! I heard the campaign is supposedly 15-18 hours long.

I want more FPS and RPG hybrids, its such a good combo. Borderlands is one of my all time favorite games.

Horror games have dulled down themselves lately, I don't like it.

And regular FPS all seem to similar and generic.
