they are all very dull, yes.  Yet, many people seem to enjoy...

That's actually a lame interactive soap opera by the name The Sims, 
following the success of the original series which is a resource 
management game putting you in the role of Mayor of a city.

Shame on you.  It's one of the pionners of such games, by a UK company 
BTW, Bullfrog (see also Syndicate).  It launched Peter Molyneux's 
career, also of Dungeon Keeper, Theme Park and Black & White fame.

surely you won't waste your whole 3D world by allowing the player to 
only scroll right or left, right?

Uncharted and God of War for Playstation 3 are 2 modern 3D games that 
have as much perfect and solid good old 16-bit side-scroller feel to 
them as possible in a 3D world.  Seriously, action games need not be 
just FPS...
