What do you think makes a good game?

[The Night Shade]

Gameplay,a game can be good without good graphics or plot

Gameplay, atmosphere, storyline, and graphics in that order.
Edit: Innovation helps make it influential, but isn't necessary.

For me personally, motion controls,

I chuckled.

A great story, an artistic or aesthetic element to the game that makes it unique (Okami, Eternal Darkness), a stunning soundtrack, and good controls.

Graphics mean very little to me.
[small]gawsh this graphics over gameplay argument has come up 4 times for me today[/small]

Plus, I'm totally with you on this.

I'm kind of a hypocrite though because I mentioned one of the few games that actually uses motion controls properly (Okami).

One of the things that I look for in things (not just games) is creativity, originality in the story.
