I believe about 50 games or so that I can say were very much top level in my opinion for there time. That's about 5 great ones a year for the last ten years. I only play about 20-25 games a year out of the hundreds that come out each year.
However with the new generation of games here I can say that there are about 40 games coming in the next 16 months that are very much the real thing. However don't forget that there are over 1000 games coming. So 40 out of over 1000 is less than 4% in total.
Talking about "HYPE", here is one in the complete opposite direction "ICO" for PS2 coming in mid September, very litle PR or Hype, but will be a certain hit with word of mouth when it does arrive.
Some of you don't want to spend more for an extra system,wait till you read this. Get your piggy banks out,because this product is past the hype,I've given it a test run and it blows away all other 3D technology in the past. It is the real thing and worth every penny. Check it out here:

Forget about "HYPE" or non-hype, what matters is what you feel and want from you're games, you be the judge.
