I wouldn't light any candles just yet. :) I think there's plenty of life left in the western genre.

Twilight Princess. Better controls and graphics, and just plain fun.

Okami is a good game, but unskippable cut scenes and frequently unresponsive controls take it down a few notches.

I don't think the console is necessarily for kids, but I do agree that things have been dumbed down game-wise. The latest examples would be Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings and The Conduit - two games that are as basic and dull as can be. An Indy game and a FPS on the Wii? Whee, but they need to actually offer something new. The Wii's major weakness, and one that may doom it in the future, is that it simply offers nothing new.
