Is that so? Well, over the last decade, 99% of the titles I pick up seem to be ascending in years, not the other way around. I'm a modern gamer, but I value classic gaming much the same. Seeing as how it gave birth to the modern generation, one cannot help but marvel at the progress videogames have made since the early days of Pong and Tetris. I wasn't alive during that time, but being born in the late eighties did provide me with the opportunity to see videogames become real. That is to say, become real on a technical level. Yeah, moving up the dimensional scale never gets old. Depth tends to, I don't know, make sh*t look real! It provided the last major graphical leap required to push videogames forward into the world of photorealism. Sure, games look better today than they did in '96, but the concept of 3D largely remains the same. The only difference is processing power. Bah... forgive me for rambling on about gaming's cliched history; seeing it laid out on paper is impressive though. Despite having a viewpoint spanning three short generations, the chances of me returning to a classic title are still slim to none. However, if it's got Bioware's name on it, then I say f*ck the odds, let's play!
