4. I would have to pick Racing games. You can always play a racing game, Gran Turismo is the best racing series ever, or the entire Need For Speed Franchise. Look at the legs NFS: Pro Street has and it sucks! I think you get tired of the same FPS after a while, as for platformers I think you get bored of Mario after a while, RPG's can get tiring. |
I think the OP is asking what games stand the test of time in quality, not in sales. There's always a new and better racing game coming out; would you still go back and play Gran Turismo 1 today? I sure wouldn't.
I think those that can last the longest are those that stand alone in terms of story, gameplay, structure, or simply by having a great, unique design. Many RPGs and platformers will fit into this category; I still play through Super Mario World now and then and enjoy it as much as ever. Good puzzle games, as previously mentioned, are also virtually time-proof. Tetris has been released literally four million times and can still be just as great today as it was back in 1989. I fully expect to go back to Shadow of the Colossus periodically and still be amazed.
