SHRlKE 02/17/23 9:36:11 PM #7:	I think like many genre defining games the earlier ones are remembered more due to the effect they had on the industry than the actual game itself. Goldeneye is another good example of this. Genre defining and pushing boundaries at the time but replaying it again and it pales in comparison to many modern games. <cite>SHRlKE posted [p:971640931] in My review ...
