I am not a gamer, but when I play I go with indie games. I really enjoyed the visuals of "The Last Door" and "Fez" and "Superbrothers - Sword & Sworcery" much more so than any 3d game.

The sad truth is 3D games are now cheaper to produce and work at arbitrary resolution, so the big studios will just keep popping them out because it's just so easy.
