@ darthmaul, don't misquote me, there is a word for that, "plagiarism" and its not flatering. I never said a high bar shouldn't be set on gameplay.

Also, only 6 games out of the ones you listed go above 8.5/10, one even got a 4/10, these games span nearly a decade. Not even close to 10+ great games per year.

As this is probably tiring most thread readers, in order to stop using numbers out of your head I list IGN reviews for the games you cited:

Barrow Hill: 8.1/10
Dark Fall: 7.8/10
The Lost Crown: 7/10
Diamonds in the Rough: 6/10 (adventure games, ign didnt have a review)
* - TLJ: 9.3/10
Myst III: 8/10
Still Life: 6.7/10 (gamespot, couldn't find an IGN review) or even worse 5/10 from eurogamer.
Return to Mysterious Island: 7.3/10 (gamespot, couldn't find an IGN review)
The secrets of Da Vinci: 7.1/10
Last half of darkness : 1989 & 2000

Black Mirror : 7.2/10

Dark Fall 2: 6.3/10 (from gamespot couldnt find an IGN review)

Sam and Max series: 7.1/10 S1 ign review (Wii) and 8.1/10 S2

RHEM 1-3: RHEM 3 received 6.5/10

Syberia 1: 7.1/10
* Syberia 2: 8.6/10

Blackwell series(2006-2008)

ECC(2009)

Runaway 1: 7.5/10 (gamespot, didnt find an IGN review)
Runaway 2: 7.2/10

* Myst IV: 9/10
* Myst V: 8.8/10
* Bad Mojo: 9/10 (gamespot, didnt find an IGN review)

Tony Tough: 8/10 (adventuregamers.com IGN/gamespot didn't review it)

Agon 1-4: found an 7.5/10 from inside mac games for AGON: Mysterious codex

Voyage(2005): 6/10 (gamespot)

Overclocked: 7/10
Perry Rhodan: 5.8/10

So Blonde: 6.8/10

Nostradamus: 7.4/10

* Ceville: 9.0/10

Culpa Innata: 4.0/10

Moment of Silence: 6.9/10

Vampyre Story: 7.6/10

Schizm 1-2: couldn't spot reviews from legitimate sources.


Regarding WoW, I have to be honest and say I don't believe you ever run endgame content, it is clear form what you write. Also Asheron's Call wasn't even half as successful WoW is thanks to the 10-11 million(!) (unintelligent by your standards I presume) subscribers Blizzard has. Also spiderweb 60mb games cost more than Oblivion does in amazon.com, this makes it an easy choice for most people.

10+ great games per year, WoW a regression and 60 mb games > Mass Effect & Oblivion is far from what numbers point out. I'd be thankful if you had something to back up your statements, else I will have to reach the conclusion that you are just trying to troll the thread.
