Unusually I have a few games on the go at the moment. I tend to stick to one or maybe two normally.
DS - Aliens: Infection (a Metroid-style 2D shooter)
PSP - Speedball 2 Evolution (zomg)
Wii - Xenoblade (pushing 90 hours and still I haven't finished the story, not to mention the ton of side content)
PS3 - Shadow of the Colossus HD (still as poignant and epic as ever, now looking better than ever)

I think it is worse
With the blu-ray at least there's a change in the product quality.Started ICO HD, I've had the game before and got far but never actually bothered to complete it, also playing Yakuza 3, don't think I'm going for a 100% run but I'm enjoying it so far, just waiting to some kind of prompt to get the last kind of tournaments opened up, and did the side mission where you need to flee from the bodybuilding cross dresser. Fun time.
Also Arkham city on preorder, I am excited much!

I agree. I feel this way about MGS. Going non-lethal all the time only builds frustration when you need to restart and making mistakes and trying to get out of it is both more realistic and in many ways a greater test of skill.

What I've about HR's bosses has killed dead any ambition I had of making a non-lethal character. Vampire: Bloodlines (one of my favourite games ever) had a similarly non-flexible approach in this respect, as at some point you would need combat skills.

Yeah, the restarts were what was getting to me, Sparrowsabre.
It feels like you can't afford to make much of a mistake at all if you're going to get out of somewhere after being spotted, as you can't take much damage and have very little tranq ammo.
Watching the first couple of levels of a non-lethal playthrough on youtube backs up my feeling, too, as you can tell from the way the guy sneaks past people that a fair bit of trial and error is involved in, for instance, working out where you need to get to when you first enter a room before the enemies start moving around more freely.
Replaying Crysis at the same time, the gunplay and general combat-scenario design in that game is much better, as lethal and non-lethal approaches blend together very nicely in very short intervals. Obviously a very different game in other aspects, though.
