Not one to typically agree completely with the Top Ten lists and other numbering articles out there, but have to say that this article pretty much nailed what should be some of the most innovative gameplay ideas to come out this year (assuming all these games hit before the end of this year). Do you agree or disagree? Actual innovation or too much hype?

From the article:

We are alive during a very important time in gaming. The 360 and the PS3 are capable of things never before imaginable on a home console. The Wii, for all its flaws, may revolutionize contemporary control mechanics. And several upcoming games, with (relatively) close release dates, may also do their part in changing the face of gaming.

These games don’t do anything outright revolutionary -- for the most part, many of these games simply take existing genres (the space RPG, the action game, etc) and implement one or two wholly original game mechanics that change the way the entire title is played. With any luck, two things will happen: firstly, the mechanics will be as innovative and useful as they have been hyped to be. Secondly, these mechanics will be adopted by the developer community and large, and we’ll see a lot more of them.

So, do you want to see which five upcoming titles will change the face of video gaming? Of course you do.
