      @BlueCollaredGrit No, I'm 16, and I love retro games! I've played MGS, OOT, MM, FF7, Chrono Trigger, and more! and guess what? I enjoyed playing those games. It's not the fact that people had to grow up in an era to enjoy it it's the fact that people have something called -PERSONAL PREFERENCE- No offence I'm just saying that you are 100 percent wrong.

It's literally called PERSONAL PREFERENCE. And yes, I knew you were referring to the original comment. Making my point quite relevant.

      Absolutely. And it didn't take long to get there either. The moment Halo popularized dual-analogue controls as the standard for console FPSs, the only reason to go back and play Goldeneye was to see how clunky it felt now.

    Nice list, except Goldeneye. That game does NOT hold up imo. I think it was only good because it was the only way to play split screen fps on a TV using a home console. The single-player campaign was cheap and poorly designed (and I did 100% it on 007 difficulty). There just have to be dozens of more important retro games than Goldeneye.
