I agree with you there.
There will never be a perfect game, but I think we come damn close sometimes.
My favorite games are:
-All the Paper Mario's
-Ghouls 'n Ghosts for the Sega Genesis (I played this
all the time when I was little)
-Super Smash Brothers (for the N64)
-Mario Kart 64
-Orcarina of Time
-Wind Waker
-Halo 2 (Halo 3 ruined it for me)
-Super Mario Brothers 3
-Super Mario Sunshine
-Super Mario 64
-Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
The list can go on and on. I have many favorites. The games today are lacking something... and I can't put my finger on it.
I wish we can go back to the days when we had to blow out our cartridges so they can work.
