This is an article from ign.com that discusses "Ten Trends That Are Destroying Videogames". Most of said trends center primarily on the fact that modern games have suffered from a noticeable absence in innovation and risk-taking. Things seen as novelties when they were introduced are now seen as tired and old news.

Overall, the views expressed in the article seem to be legitimate concerns. Many elements of game development have been overused to the point of losing their novelty. The entry here that I have to agree with most is the "Motion 'Control'" trend. When the Wii was introduced, it opened up whole new worlds of possibilities in game development. More often than not, however, motion control tends to work to most games' detriment than it does to their advantage. That's not to say that it doesn't benefit any games at all, but it definetly hasn't been used to its fullest potential. Overall, it's a good compilation of very real concerns in game development, and hopefully, such concerns will be addressed soon.
