You know what's weird? Even with the contradicting opinions, I agree almost completely with every post so far.
Games nowadays feel too much like they're trying to be movies. I've been playing the leaked version of Skyrim for eight days now, and it's really annoying. I mean, it's a great game, but it just can't hold my attention for some reason. I replayed Shinobi III on my Genesis yesterday to remember what a real game feels like. I'm inviting some friends over to my place tomorrow to play some Mario Kart 64 and take turns beating the First four Contra games, then start hating each other after dying a few thousand times on Battletoads. Maybe River City Ransom followed by Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Or some shoot em' ups. Don't know yet. But we're going to spend the day playing games that were amazing for their time, instead of "amazing" games that should be much better for their time.
