relation to an article talking about "Games that have aged insanely

and just list the games they picked for you:
          BioShock (2007)
I tried to play this a few years ago, I didn't care for it so, so can't tell if holds up.

         Super Mario Sunshine (2002)
 >          Okami (2006)
         Dragon Age Origins (2009)
         Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011)
I can see these holding up fine, or at least as well as they were when they came out.  I always intend to play and finally finish Skyrim at some point, but can't ever bring myself to do it.
 >          Chrono Trigger (1995)
         Gears of War (2006)
         Mirror’s Edge (2010)
         Sleeping Dogs (2012)
         Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (2009)
I never played any of these (maybe sleeping dogs?) so couldn't say. I've heard Chrono Trigger was really good, but it just doesn't seem like a game I'd enjoy currently.
 >          Super Meat Boy (2010)
Horrible game to begin with. Or at least very much not for me.

So the first thing that crossed my mind while reading that list was,
"Aged? These games just came out a little while ago!" but that
probably says more about me than the games. I mean, the youngest is 13
years old and while that was practically yesterday for me, for
youngsters I guess it seems a lot longer. But some of those games just
don't feel old at all; they're still relevant to a lot of players who
still actively engage with the game. Of course they haven't aged;
they're... well, not new obviously, but still in their prime.
Thery're all only slightly older than 10 years old, not really old.

The second thing is that, aside from any that fit into that first
group (and really, it's just "Skyrim" and "Super Meat Boy" that
qualify), I wouldn't say they've aged 'insanely well'. Most of them
don't seem very old, but I think that --were I go back to play them
right now-- I wouldn't be shouting to the heavens about how they still
feel so modern.
Because they're not that old.
