I agree that the internet has definatley had an impact on video games. Whether it's effect has been negative or positive depends on the player I guess? I could watch several movies of a game, read the reviews, learn all the secrets and how to access them, read strategy guides all before a game is even released. I bet if I tried I could even download a game before it's official release. There's just no surprise or puzzlement anymore. I already know everything.
