There are some titles that offer a fresh take on it, though. Mirror's Edge and Bioshock are two that come to mind. But I can see where he's coming from.

It's nothing more than I sense I get from the various gaming forums I visit. People are getting tired of yet another WWII shooter, or one where you shoot zombies or where you shoot aliens. There's nothing beyond the shoot and duck for cover mechanic and some people are getting bored of it. Some are turning towards Action RPGs such as Mass Effect/ME2 and Fallout 3. They are looking for more than just mindless shooting.
