Agreed, except about bioshock 2! I think gameplay wise, it was better than part 1..But the story belongs to the first one.
I think most game companies, think that a silent protagonist is best of both worlds??
1. They think that like old school movie buffs "The silent films were the best because you had to portray that you were sad, depressed, angry and etc"
Yeah no!!
2. No need to hire a voice actor..They cost money, we do not like to spend money, so let's just use some guy generic grunt!!
It is nice to hear, that maybe this is a trend that I hope starts to pick up, unlike some of the gaming trends at the moment!!
