I'm looking at the launch line-up for the next generation, and I'm not enormously impressed. I decided to look at the winners of Game of the Year in the last transition between console generations. Most GotY awards in 2005? Resi Evil 4. A Gamecube game. Joined here and there by Shadow of the Colossus on PS2 and Civ IV on PC. I'll grant you there have been exceptions to the underwhelming nature of launch titles, such as Halo: CE and Mario 64. But the eighth generation looks to be pretty meh at birth. Also: BioShock Infinite and The Last of Us. And GTAV.
