Are achievement points and badges fun? Is pushing or requiring success what makes good games? Kill Screen's Richard Clark doesn't think so, but Greg Saw disagrees. We don't have a universal metric for fun, nor can fun be enforced. Saw breaks down a more diverse view.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
The video game industry is already so creative, but one thing that can be improved is its handling of space.
After watching Scavengers Reign? The answer is unequivocally yes. I really want something out of left field but I think people are too afraid to shake things up.

Weird games in general we don't get enough of, we need more games like Katamari and Mr domino, things like that
The iconic demon-slaying shooter just got a corporate makeover—perfect for pretending to work!
I play games for fun and while doing that if i could get trophies its extras i am not gonna go out of my way to get a trophy. I kind of feel sorry for people who when a new game comes out looks at trophy and just say i have to get each one even if doing some of the things are not fun
games are what you make them. there are no rules when you are playing SP. do what you want. sandbox games are a good example... i can play GTA for hours and not do a single mission. in EA skate I set my own challenges and can spend hours on a spot adding objects etc. I can spend hours just doing lap after lap in forza in hot lap without caring about advancing my career. who cares.
play it how you want. if you are playing heaps of games and not having fun then you obviously do not play games for fun. a mate of mine plays BF3 too seriously for the rest of us to even want to play with him. HE doesn't play it for fun and that is his choice.
they are just games
