90% of books are rubbish, 90% of movies are rubbish, 90% of games are... There are people behind games, their talents differ, so as their products.

For example, Monkey Island games in my opinion are funnier than any of the Adam Sandler movies. Solving good puzzles is usually more entertaining and relaxing than playing chess or golf, for example. And the quality of animation in Toonstruck tops many cartoons. Nothing wrong with this sort of entertainment.
