I fully agree that games should ditch the bland color schemes so common now. It simply works better if everything is colorful and has a good amount of contrast. I find that shooters where you can actually see the enemy, like Team Fortress 2, are way more fun than one where people blend with the environment because everything looks gray and brown. Also, don't even try to claim that the desaturated look is more realistic. Look outside and you will see a ton of colors unless it is cloudy of course. If the lack of color actually has a reason, like portraying a mood, then it's fine, but something like Gears? There is no reason at all that it can't be more bright and colorful.
