I feel that gaming began to die at the turn of the century. Post 2000, Inovative games and 1st generation games (Non Sequels) have been on the decline. The only thing I see nowadays is some sequel to some great franchise that emerged from the good ole days. I'm not saying that there isn't new innnovative games coming. I just think that the market is clouded with money grabbers. Example: Romance of the three kingdoms. It started on the nes, then the snes, and so on. Do their really need to be 10 romance games? After moving the series to the ps2 they should have just stopped. Or dynasty warriors, now I own dynasty warriors 2, but what number are they up to now? 5? Its the same game.
Also, I think they beat the hell outta Sam Fisher, Seriously, how many splinter cell games am I gonna play before They give me a new franchise?(Until they milk us dry)
So before I get excited and start ranting some more. Lemme get to the point.
The classics are the great games that we all grew up with. Consider them like the Classic Rock Station on your Radio. You can listen to the new music that sounds the same on the pop station when something you like When things get stale on this "new hits" station. You can always go turn the dial back to what was good and will always be good.
And remember what Adam West said about the new batman movie: "Bigness does not equal Greatness"
