Originality in games

Dude, Okami = Zelda with its own special brand of cel-shading. It's awesome, but original it is not.

On that note, I don't think people want original games that much. Just look at how many people say X game (usually something like Psychonauts or Beyond Good and Evil) is so original, I want X2. Every game was original at one point.

About as original as Link using two hookshots at once... Oh wait, I mean clawshots.

Originality is hard to come by these days. Even so, original games turn out weird for the sake of trying to be too original.

I think we'll see more redefining than original. Mario Galaxy, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, etc., aren't really original but just redefined.

I think as a FPS, Bioshock could be considered original, but it is still a shooter/adventure type of game.

I think recently, Shadow of the Colossus had the most original gameplay idea and design that was also a great game.
