I'm in the same boat as you, I have very little interest in modern games, certainly not the big blockbuster stuff anyway (sequels and FPSes, very little else). However, I have seen some promising games from indie developers. Haven't played it yet, but would like to play Journey...

Indie developers have a hard time, I think, competing with the level of "bling" big companies can afford, but at the same time they have the freedom to try out things large companies would not touch with a ten-mile pole, which is promising. Minecraft blew my mind, even though I stopped playing it much after I got scared of how addictive it is (on the other hand, "it is pretty addictive" is probably the highest praise one can give a game).
