YES. My god that is my never ending rant about video games now-a-days. Whatever happened to games that were made to play rather than made for their artwork or made for their movie-like story line. It's one reason I'm such an advocate for Left For Dead. You don't need a storyline or cut scenes. You don't need a ton of eccentric out of this world weapons. You don't need leveling or abilities. All you need to do is pull the trigger button in the face of the infected and avoid a big fat "YOU ARE DEAD" message. *sigh* OK, done now. I miss Mario damnit...
