KTurner unfortunately I do have to agree with Pensive, you sound like a graphics *****.
Yeah graphics
are very important to me.

TF2 scenery and characters look better because of the stylistic art choices, even with worse graphics.
I definitely do not think the characters and scenery in TF2 looked better than crysis... not even close... Not in my mind. Its cool that you like that in a game, i dont care about the "art". I played TF2 to go around shooting people, i would have preferred more crysis like graphics, but that wasnt an option.
like i said, it depends on the person. I like good gameplay and good graphics so the wii disappointed me. I expected some incredible gameplay to make up for the graphics and i didnt get it. In fact i saw more boring gameplay (aside from wii sports) from the games im used to.

If you cannot recognize that zelda is a better quality game than wii sports then you have major problems. This doesn't require you to enjoy zelda more than wii sports. It requires an appraisal of the various standards to which each game lives up. There really is no contest here. Now, i've met plenty of people that don't like nintendo's games, and do like wii sports. Most of them are old women and very young children. You, however, are neither of these (I assume). It surprises me how one can simultaneously enjoy wii sports over zelda and make an argument about games being judged on pleasing visuals and sturdy gameplay. Wii sports has neither of these; zelda does, yet you enjoy wii sports... but think that other consoles have much better games. I am truly confused here.
Its simple, i judge a game based on how much fun i have playing it, which is the only reason I play games. I dont care what so and so thinks, or how much thought the developer put into it, or the cultural influences, or whatever. I have fun with Wii Sports when i have my parents over, who are grandparents... so your statement about old people and children isnt far off. But yeah, i have fun when i play it so its a good game. If a games gameplay is exceptional enough, it easily outweighs the graphics, and besides, wii sports is graphically
clean. The characters and environment are simple, but thats obviously not the focus. The reason it has good gameplay is 100% because of the gimmicky wiimote.

What do you play anyway?
Heres a list of sorta recent games that ive played that i am glad i spent the money on.
Shooter: Halflife2 (orange box), Bioshock, Gears of War (wtb CoD4)
Racing: Forza Motorsports 2, Need for Speed series, Pro Race Driver series is my alltime fav for racing, but i havent played Grid beyond the demo so i cant say much on that one.
RPG: If sticking to console, KotOR/KotOR2/Jade Empire/Mass Effect (all basically the same game imo), Oblivion
Sports: I've been very disappointed with sports titles lately, Fight Night is a great game.
Action/Adventure: GTA4, Crackdown
Platform: The last good platform game i played was Ratchet and Clank on PS2 >_> is there a new one on the PS3?
Anyway, thats the gist, im sure there are some i forgot.
PC games i like are WoW, WC3, Sims, Silent Hunter 3, Flight Simulator X, Crysis is freakin epic... but i need a new comp to really enjoy it.
