If Armagon's Lair didn't have those pillars, it would have been a very good fight.

It won't be the 12-year-old's fault really. They grew up when Playstation 2 was out-school and the PS2 had some half decent-graphics, even by today's standards. In the same way I've never played anything from before 1990' (not from a lack of trying mind you), these kids are hardly going to want to play any games from before 2000', which is of course all the games we like, Thief, HerHex, Dark Forces, Quake, Unreal...

When I was 12, I was playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Time Splitters 2 and Jak & Daxter. Perhaps an 80's kid would see these games how we see CoD. Ok, so I would argue that Grand Theft Auto, Time Splitters 2 and Jak & Daxter have extremely fun gameplay and the good graphics were an added bonus, the 12-year-old snots of today might say the same thing about CoD. So how do we really decide on what is the best era? Being 90's kids, our opinion does go for 90's games, and that is true, I think the FPS games of the 90's are far better than modern ones, peaking of course with Unreal in 98'.

But an 80's kid will probably say Space Invaders or Pac Man is his/her favourite game for the same reasons in this regards.

Unfortunately this means that at the end of this decade, when the 10's kids are grown up and playing video games, and CoD continues on this path of crappy quantify instead of quality, the 10's kids will claim that CoD Modern Warfare X where you have to walk down a corridor, fighting one boss who turns out to be a wheelchair bound, unarmed Pakistani and then pressing a button at the end of the corridor to set off a Nuke that blows up all of Asia, is the best-est game ever... just like we (me and Death) think Unreal is the best....
