Next gen isn't just HD graphics. It's about empowering the player above and beyond what the last generation offered.

What do I consider next generation?

- Amazing visuals. Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare fits this bill quite nicely, as do Heavenly Sword and Halo 3.

- Incredible game processing power. Super Stardust HD tracks an immense number of objects on-screen, and is one of the clearest examples of next gen technology flexing its muscles. Heavenly Sword also has some great shock and awe scenes featuring hundreds of enemies onscreen.

- Unparalleled interactivity. Rock Band and Haze are great examples of this, allowing 4 player co-op gaming. Games like Tekken 5, Virtua Fighter 5, and hopefully Soul Calibur 4 also adding online gaming are going to be huge.

- User generated content. The advent of usefully large hard drives in consoles is driving a new movement toward user creatable content. SingStar, Unreal Tournament 3, and especially LittleBigPlanet are going to be huge in this respect.
