MyGaming: "A growing, if indomitable, library of untouched or otherwise incomplete games, whether digital or physical, is a fairly common occurrence and pretty well the norm these days.
With the sheer number of round-the-clock sales, available titles and the tendency for most of us to have less and less free time, it’s inevitable really.
But why is it called the backlog of shame, a term, we ourselves, are guilty of throwing around?
It seems that the apparent shame is associated with impulse purchases and the fact that we tend to gain more games in an allotted time than we are ever able to complete. But is shame really the right word?
We say no! We’re proud of our impressive collection of titles, and here’s why."
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Should be ashamed. Stop spending all your money. Save it. The games can wait. And dont use a credit card. Were being indoctrinated to think we need every game that comes out. Systematiclly programed.
