Re: Aging Well

It's not that I don't think most of those games aren't worth playing
but a lot of them either have mechanics that feels a bit dated, or
lack quality-of-life features that we've come to expect, or just have
underlying assumptions that no longer feel quite as apt anymore.

   I think I'm with you here.  Many of these I haven't played, but Uncharted 2 I did play a year or two back and it sticks out with me as having an annoying cover shooting mechanic that made levels tedious and irritating; I must've killed 100's of random mercs in that game.  Also I gotta say I wasn't too impressed with the graphics, but in fairness it is from an old console generation.  GoW has a similar mechanic come to think of it, although since it was new to me the gameplay didn't bother so much.  Now, GoW4 on the other hand I found insufferable, with its addition of endless teenage tit-for-tat chatter.  In my mind I would call Mirror's Edge timeless, with its very clean and bright artstyle, and I suspect I'd say the same of Okami.   I'll propose a couple additions, both for their clean and attractive art:  XIII, Tron 2, Beyond Good and Evil
