The bastion of quality journalism that is Slashdot rarely has a thought provoking story on
gaming
these days. Today is one of those rare days
where Slashdot make you think.
Perhaps you need to be a certain age. Perhaps not. Whatever the case, it raises an interesting point. On the PC, I
very rarely play games from this century. In fact there are only four games from this century installed right now.
Flightsim 2K2. Warcraft 3. Championship Manager 01/02, and Unreal Tournament 2004. The irony is I've not played any of
those four in ages. In fact in two cases (I leave it to you to guess), I've not played them since I reinstalled
them.
While not as hardcore as the writer, who has headed back into MUD land, the fact is, it's older titles I continuously
come back to. Is there truly nothing new under the sun?
