I don't understand this. Why did IGN rate this game even higher than the original that came out over 10 years ago??


Where did IGN rate the original game? I can't remember IGN ever reviewing SNES games.

My bad. But does the reviewer really think Super Mario RPG is better than, say, Bioshock or World of Warcraft or "cue big recent game"? Because that rating shows that.

Frankly, yes; I believe it is. But this also shows a problem with the rating system; this inane focus on comparing games directly because of the number syste. All that should matter is whether or not the game is good on its own merits.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
