Top 10 List (retro)

Do you remember the good old days when video games were limited to two dimensions. I'll bet that if you're from the generation of gamers who owned a Nintendo and made a list of your ten favorite games of all time at least 64% of them would be 2D. Here's my list.
  1. Super Metroid (2D)
  2. The Legend of Zelda (2D)
  3. Final Fantasy 7 (3D)
  4. Metroid (2D)
  5. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (2D)
  6. Super Mario Brothers 3 (2D)
  7. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (3D)
  8. Mega Man 3 (2D)
  9. Contra (2D)
  10. Wolfenstein (3D)
As you can see over 64% of my ten favorite games are 2D. They don't need any of those fancy 3D effects. They're good games because the game play and story are good. Also two of the games that I put as 3D aren't ever true 3D.

Why is it that companies like Nintendo and Sony insist on forcing 3D games down our throats. I'll admit that a lot of them are beautiful. The only problem is that 'beauty is only skin deep'. Most of these games aren't that good.

I wish someone would put some sense back into the video game makers to allow them to make good games again.

METROID SHOULD NEVER BE A FIRST PERSON SHOOTER. NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!
