exactly, mainstream "console" games are so watered down and easy going that putting a game in front of someone who actually has to use their brain is now greeted with frustration rather than excitement.
my sister i know would love these games but she would much rather play doodle jump for an hour than have to bother using her brain.
and having played a few games like enslaved on my brothers ps3 i can now tell you that the challenge of that game is literally non-existent, it is literally just an animated movie that only plays unless you are tapping buttons throughout.
and its one example, but its a sign of where the mainstream game market is going. there is no challenge left, and therefore the is no real feeling of reward left either.
