There's also the question of whether the same reviewers would give those games the same scores today. Perfect Dark Zero makes that list of quality Microsoft first-party games, but the consensus among both fans and critics today is that it never deserved that status and publications that reviews it highly are embarrassed by that. On the other hand publications were declaring Super Mario Galaxy the game of the generation 6 years after it was released.

That could be said 20 years ago, today, and most likely it can be said for 20 years. When reviewers are giving they score, they dont think how that game would be 20 years ago or how it will be in 20 years, but how good is that game in current time.

There's still a difference between 'this was great when it came out, but standards have risen,' like Goldeneye, and 'what the heck were we thinking giving this game a good review in the first place,' like how almost everyone started looking at Perferct Dark Zero pretty quickly after its release.
