I think that is it. Could be wrong though.
I think you'll find that more smaller independent games hearken back to the games we played growing up. We've hit the point where you can have decent graphics in the hands of small time independent developers, and they can still devote tons of resources to actually making a really good game.
If you look back at all the games that became classics, they all have excellant gameplay. The graphics are all over the board because they're stretched out over a couple decades now. But all of them are actually fun to play while games that were only vehicles for good graphics have by and large fallen by the wayside.
Its the same sort of thing comparing an old time movie, even a black and white movie like The Adventures of Captain Blood starring Errol Flynn, with any random modern popcorn flick with lots of action and explosions.
The primary caveat here is that, classic games, movies, books, etc. are created all the time. It is only looking backwards where we see the chaff fall away and are left with the golden kernals of excellance leaving a trail through the ages.
I don't know what genres you like besides stuff like BG, but I'd sorely recommend Betrayal at Krondor+Betrayal at Antara and Lord of the Realms Siege Pack off of www.gog.com . Awesome games~
We don't talk about Lord of the Realm 3. But one, two, and the siege pack are great. ^_^
