I think the Wii was the "Birth of a Nation" of video games. It made playing video games a mainstream thing. People, of all ages, who either never played or looked down on videogames found themselves holding Wiimotes and playing videogames. Ultimately I think it's up to the journalists and people who represent videogames to take the industry to the next level. The industry needs more human personalities that have creative ways of expressing how good or bad a videogame is. Once that happens there is no limit as to where the gaming industry can go.

Great read. I agree 100%. I'm still working my way through Brotherhood. I'm having trouble playing it because it's just not that fun to me. I'm hoping the next Assassin's Creed goes back to what made the series special, but I'm not holding my breath. Yearly releases are not cool.
