I think TF2 has got the right idea in the FPS area. Make no sequels, keep releasing updates for a single game. You can't complain about it not being different because it's the same game, but if it does add a new dimension (e.g. MvM) then it's great. Also community-made content is gold.
Also Viper I agree about the repetitive pumping of clone indie games. But what I meant is that (most) indie devs are at least trying to make something new or innovative, rather than being purely money-motivated. And hey, maybe some of those clones actually do it well, I mean look at Super Meat Boy. It does almost nothing new yet it's an extremely fun and generally good game.
