Lots of good points you make but I think GOW is a bad example discussing story. I mean it's by the guy who did Twisted Metal. What makes GOW great is the feel of the combat, at least that's why I love it. The mechanics are perfect. The story is just dumb fun like a stupid action movie. However, I do agree that game makers tend to dumb things down assuming people are unintelligent goons. I think Hollywood does the same with movies most of the time, because that's what sells. People want to be entertained and sometimes that means watching of playing something only fit for a caveman.
