Seriously, though, 90% of the games on this site are basic clones of Bejeweled. Not a scrap of originality, save for the graphics, which aren't all that good anyway. We need more stuff like shoot-em-ups(shmups, if you prefer), platformers(or run-n-guns), or flight simulators(with army helos! Yeah!). GGOTD needs to kick its habit of offering nice-looking, bland Alawar match-3s and get back to what gaming was originally about - blowing stuff up!

(The very first video game, by the way, was about blowing stuff up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar%21)
