Excellence Never Goes Out of Date

That title is taken from one of the Escapist magazine article.

And frankly, i found myself quite agree with that.

Shigeru miyamoto said that a delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever. True what is good will always good and in gaming perhaps the aspects that can be immortalized is either sound,art direction,gameplay or story.


Last week i played System Shock and this game still creep the hell out of me even if it came about 14 years ago!

The same goes with Gabriel Knight: The Sins of the Fathers which its engrossing story kept me awake for hours a month ago.-This game's story is still the best of game's story even compared to today standard-

This is some examples of how game doesnt need to be judge by current technology alone (graphic wise) which many gamers today considered upon.

And this is not only applicable to gaming alone but to literature(Death Train,A Catcher in the Rye),Movie(Casablanca),Music(Frank Sinatra,Claire) and other kind of entertainment.

A good game is a good game and a bad game eventually be a bad game.

Excellence truly never goes out of date.

-Curently playing Final Fantasy XII and believe that this game will have the same fate as the game mentioned before
