Level of Diffculty in Games

All right, I'll get to the point. I've been playing re-releases of older games: 1980s and 1990s and I've realized that some of the games we play now are easier than they were back then. "Battletoads" was one of the most difficult games my brothers and I have played to this day. Now with games like "Final Fantasy XIII" and "Call of Duty: Black Ops" being played and completed within a week's time (think December 25th to January 1st), have we drifted away from the difficulty that games provided or have we reached a point that a game has to be both good and have a moderate difficulty setting? Are games such as "Demon's Souls" and its upcoming companion game, "Dark Souls" bringing back good, long games that make the player feel a great accomplishment as they complete a level, not just the game itself? Think of your favorite games or favorite series. Have they easy, moderate, or difficult? Are most video games become longer and entertaining instead of challenging?
