Some things date a little, but they still are good. Mario 64 was great 10 years ago and it is still really good now. This is a good game, far better than WaW. Online is smooth too. |
It's a stupid mentality. And although I'm not impressed with the Beatles, that is a good analogy for how stupid the notion is. A good game is still good. Some can be overshadowed if things fall short (like the control in Goldeneye), but that's rare.
It's still the "ports are bad by default" line of thinking (and they still wonder why the Super Mario Advance games sold well).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
