Games that haven't aged well.

And before anyone says "duh, PS2", God of War II STILL looks awesome to this day. Remember, that PS2 game was big news DURING the 360 era.

Lots of other games aged pretty gracefully, if not as.

Its aged ok, not great.

But the experience is still a must-play.

Indy games are another animal. 😉

Hmm, LoG is available on Ipad...?

Ooch, 4.99. Well, more reasonable then FTL: Faster Then Light's 10 dollar price tag. Glad I got that one on a Steam sale.

Mass Effect 1.

It aged better then Mass Effect 3 tbqh

With mods it's graphically fine for the most part. The shooting isn't great, but its serviceable. and it's still a cracker of an RPG imo.

Graphically, pretty much any PS1 game looks like crap now.

Kingdom Hearts. All of them.

Although they were shit from the start, but now they're borderline unplayable.

I gotta disagree here. The game is still as fun to play as it ever was and because of the design style it isn’t an eye sore.

After you've played Dark Souls, it really looks bad though.

I'm talking the classic PS2 version, in widescreen on an hdtv.

Going to add: Zelda games.

This is probably heresy, but the Zelda formula was fun in the 80's and 90's. Original Zelda was great, Link to the Past was great, OOT was fantastic. By the time of Windwaker, it started getting old, and then Twilight Princess came along, and now..

Now, it's just not as much fun anymore. There's better ways to get an rpg fix, whether it's Elder Scrolls games or Dragon's Dogman, or Witcher, or Souls.. Zelda was great when it was unique, but it's simply been outdone a million times over by now and refused to change with the times. And now all it has going for it is nostalgia..

And I guess my appreciation for nostalgia's run out. I can't even get into old Mario or Punch-Out anymore, I want something new..

Í'd like to add the first Assassin's Creed in here as well.

Yeah, AC1 became horribly outdated the moment the sequel dropped, which improved on the first game in essentially every way. Arkham Asylum hasn't aged well for me for the same reason. Arkham City just improved on what Asylum did in every way.
