I feel that the games that have been released over the last few months have been better than any other games since the PS2 has been around.
Last few years you would get a good released every few months, but i can name about 10 good games releasd very recently, do you feel the same about this, ?

EverQuest is the closest you'll get strangely enough. I was going to say Dark Chronicle but its one fault was that all the dungeons were the same, whereas in Skies all the dungeons were designed differently with new puzzles in each one. EverQuest is the same, except the dungeons aren't as easy to find and some of them you can't even think about getting near to until you're level 50.
I'm doing a quest on EQ at the moment where I have to find the components for 3 shields for 3 siblings who want to give presents to their dying father in order to gain his inheritance.
So far I've had to run out into the middle of a barren desert to assassinate a Takeshir Craftsman, infiltrate a remote pyramid complex, avoid guards and tackle a high level boss that only triggers when I approach his high level entourage, destroy a magical tree named Growthor surrounded by hard hitting brethren in a dying forest, catch a patrolling Tae Ew guard unawares without alerting the rest of his encampment, sneak into an icy cave in the northern wastelands to grab some fur off a bear, kill an enraged mage and his pet near a Necromancer's tower (we went as a group and killed him a few times as he gave nice experience points), go invisible inside the huge Guk Dungeon in search of mold from a lost Froglok and seek out an aggravated spirit surrounded by literally hundreds of ghosts and ghouls at a barren ruins. And I'm stuck on the bit where I have to invade Thenon the Wise's burrow to kill an undead Tomb Keeper because I need to get a bunch of guild online at the same time so I can fight past the cultists that see through invisibility and kill the Tomb Keeper's 4 level 44 Ghoul guardians.
It's pretty varied.
