With games like these, who are they to judge?

I think the piles of low budget shovelware will be far more quickly forgotten than bid budget games such as Gears of War, Super Mario Galaxy, or Grand Theft Auto 4. Besides, the reason so many old games are remembered is because most of the nostalgic fanboys of today started, well, guess when? Not last thursday, but rather...the days of the NES and SNES! Or perhaps even earlier. Not only that, but with budgets the way they are, the amount of ridiculously niche or bold games with little potential to sell are going to fall drastically. Some of those games (Crue Ball comes to mind) are remembered simply for their wackiness. I'm sure that the millions of casual gamers who started this generation with the DS and Nintendogs will be looking back several generations from now, marveling at just how awesome and simple that Wii Sports game was.
