Is a game like Uncharted though (which I love) really creating new mechanics? To me it was a third person action-shooter with very basic puzzles comparible to most other action-shooters. The difference was in it's writing. What makes that so different from a potential adventure point and click with the same level of writing? Again with Fallout, a first person RPG with better story and characters than others. They don't really offer new mechanics, just better writing within their genres.
