I read this article recently and I've thought a lot about it, and was wondering what your guys' opinions were on where gaming is at.

The author says we need, as gamers, shouldn't be satisfied with what gaming is giving us. He makes some valid points about how ubiquitous violence as a game mechanic is, but isn't this a little like complaining about Transformers 3 not being intellectual enough? One gigantic blockbuster game isn't representative of an entire medium's storytelling.
Over the course of this generation, I've loved some of the stories that games are being able to convey. The Portal series and Papers, Please are some of my favorites, that are incredible experiences unlike anything else. How do you feel gaming is doing? What're your opinions on where were at, or where we should be?
