I used to think Bejeweled was a brilliant video game.

but now I hate it, because it has led to a million imitators, all of whom seem to think that yet another "puzzle-based" game is worth writing and, alas, worth advertising. I mean, if you want to use puzzles to advance, why not (real) crosswords, or something else actually interesting? (By real I mean: uses clever clues, not just definitions.)
