i think it depends on the game. for something with very stylized visuals like Wet and Borderlands i think it works great. i can't comment on Wet (only played the demo) but in Borderlands it works really well as a momentary breather to get yourself psyched up for a boss fight.

while i agree it could easily become an overdone cliche i don't think we're really near that point yet. unless it's happening in modern warfare 2 also haha
