That's not even one of the choices...Also SNES? That's like last, last, last gen.

Anyways, I'd have to say the last gen takes the vote for me.

Sure games nowadays look fantastic, and pretty much resemble real life. Backgrounds, water, cityscape, etc. all look phenomenal.

But something was lost when they started pumping everything into the "looks" of a game. They sacrifice story for gameplay.

Now instead of having a 13-30 hour game, you get a 6-8 hour game, with a rushed story and poor character development. Or you get boring gameplay, with a good story and a rushed ending.

In the past, games had a great balance of both story and graphics.

There are a few PS3/Xbox360 games that are outside this. Such as Oblivion, Metal Gear, Fallout, Devil May Cry, etc. All those games look amazing, play awesomely, and have a great story and good development.

I'm so far behind in my gaming that I've only played one and a half Wii games as of yet. . . . Both are great, but my vote goes to "last gen." I'm still working on my stack of unplayed, awesome PS2 and GC games.

Seems to me I spent more time on one game last gen, and this gen I want to play EVERYTHING.

I remember playing psx and going to ps2 and 64 and snes nes but lately i am not having as much fun as i used to. Its like a hot girl with the fucking brain of a cat.(which isn't too unlikely i bet)
I played spyro, mario( the good ones not mario tennis. thats an embarassment.) banjo kazooie crash bandicoot zelda metroid. I think the only games that have gotten a necessary improvement have been shooters. The new gen killed resident evil.
Even when they tried to remake old game series they suck.(banjo kazooie nuts and bolts)

Since when the previous generation became last? Anyway between the two, I'd choose the previous.

I remember PS1 came out people were literally saying WOW! when they saw the games like Crash Bandicoot, Resident Evil or Twisted Metal and pretty much the same happened with previous gen. games when they showed up. The difference between the graphics was much more noticeable and games like RE 4, Fatal Frame, Halo showed new ways of playing. While I'm kinda disappointed in current gen. games, the graphics are nice but I expected something more.
