I like to really look at the GFX. There is nothing i like more than a well designed sprite or 3d model. I find that Graphics give more of an insight into the mind and collective minds of a person or company. I appreciate any level of skill in this department also, I dont dislike lower skilled graphics at all as skill level differs from person to person. I have litteraly spent hours studying Tormshire screen shots and they still amaze me (James you are amazing BTW) but if somone who cant sprite gives it their all then this is clearly evident in the work.

I am frustratingly bad at coding even after years and years of practice but i can instantly feel and appreciate a well made engine or jaw dropping effect.

I find that this topic is very hard to give my oppinion because i never know what i prefer. Right now im playing Banjo kazooie N&B and the GFX and physics are some of the best i have ever seen. But i will still play Beautiful Katamari as it is possibly the funnest game ever made.

When a certain concept has been done to death it stops being fun. When a game tries something a bit new and is still fun, it's a win in my book. It doesn't need an entirely new concept or very complicated programming to be fun.

Meeklits and Cactus Bruce are two games that come to mind.

Innovation leads to fun, fun becomes old after a while. More innovation is needed to make yet more fun.

I dunno about that. I like playing old games again or old style games and often find them fun. I played through Sonic the hedgehog 1 on my Gamecube the other day, great fun was had!

I had the most fun playing New super mario bros from my collection on my DS, but thats not terribly innovative in any huge way (yeah there are some nice additions to the classic forumula) but its just a welcome return to 2d platforming. Something I feel people should appreciate more with indie games.
