Recently, at work I was talking with a peer, broaching all manner of topics and subjects, exhibiting wisdom and sagaciousness, enumerating and pontificating at length. As we talked we, as you can imagine, discussed video games. After all, this is a video game focused channel. As we continued, I realized that I was referring to many older games that he hadn’t played. I asked if he would ever go back and play through some of them to see what they had to offer, and his response left me stumped. He said: “Why play old games when new ones are better?” This really got me thinking. Are modern games really better? The obvious answer is “no,” or for those of you who are in law school, “not necessarily.” The assumption that what is old is inferior simply by way of its age is one that cannot be backed up easily. However, there is a shred of truth within every exaggeration; and in this video we discuss what truth is within this example.
