Perhaps I haven't played any of them then.

You'll be unsurprised to hear that I haven't played Skyrim. I don't even
know what it's about. I just know it's apparently wicked-popular.

Dude's got game.

Not really my style, but certainly a cut above merely "generic".

Portal I will give you. At least, the music from the end title is VERY
iconic - and enjoyable simply as a piece of music. The music that
actually features in the main game? Not so much.

Now THIS is more like it.

Again, not my style, but better than most.
Actually, thinking about it, I say they don't make graphically and
sonically rich games any more. But now I remember:

Bastion. It's graphically rich (although a little bit samey after a
while). And while not every single song is a killer, it has some VERY
good stuff in there. And it's fairly varied. This one's my favourite
though. (Plus, it has that mesmerising narration which seems
inexplicably organic...)
So maybe it's not that they don't make 'em now, just that they don't
make _many_ of them...

Still trying to work out if the message is that only JRPGs have great
music, or that Warp only plays JRPGs... ;-)

You classify Skyrim and Portal as JRPGs?

Portal, no. Skyrim? All I know about it is that it's very popular. I
have no idea what it even looks like.

What do you mean with JRPG? Japanese Role Playing Game? If yes, Skyrim is not a
JRPG, the world of Skyrim is influenced by Dungeons & Dragons.

I have uploaded several screenshots of it here (the titles all contain
"Skyrim" for clarity):

Hmm, interesting. I probably wouldn't like it, but I see why it's popular...

You can tell from a few screenshots that you probably wouldn't like it?

Bethesda'games like Skyrim or Fallout are not populars for the graphisms but for
the stories, when you play you are in the world represented. The graphisms of
Skyrim or Fallout are not actually the best (compared, example, to Battlefield
3) but the games are very complex. It's why they are popular.
