A lot of games that were awesome at the time didn't hold up very well. Our side-scrolling shooters, 2D brawlers, mascot games, sports titles and such are nothing more than fond memories. As much fun as they were at the time, I'd rather gnaw my arm off than play some of them, today.
It makes you wonder. In ten or twenty years, will we be equally disgusted by our poorly aged Halo, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, or any number of technical marvels of today? Part of me thinks that when we look back at which games from today are still worth playing, games like Wii Play, Dance Central, Mario Galaxy, and Braid are going to lead the charge. The rest will feel as outdated as Out of This World or Goldeneye.
