> 90 = 96? lol a PC shooter that was rated 75 then is equal to a 90 now.
IMO nowadays a lot more effort is being put into games. Good actors are hired, orchestras are playing top quality music scores, a lot more attention to details, etc.
Of course there were highlights such as the Half-Life series, but in general I think many old PC shooters wouldn't score that well today even with a visual upgrade. ID software, Valve and Epic Games all make console versions of their games, in the past these companies were far more PC gaming orientated.
I do agree some games like the Gears of War series and Halo series are overhyped, often there seem to platform bias involved.
