Most of these games looks great, some of them looks good enough to not stand in the way of gameplay. Also, before anyone say anything, yes I've played all these games recently. Notice the lack of Syphon Filter? I like that game, but it certainly have a less timeless graphics quality to it. Or, if you like, crap looking.

Still, we still see the same game. We just see them in a different perspective - and it's this perspective that stands in the way of our enjoyment of a lot of games. Some can look past that, some can't. That doesn't mean they've aged badly. If anyone's aged badly, it's the gamer, not the games. The games don't age. The gamer does. And in no way do I consider it being for the better, if you can't even enjoy good gameplay because of it.
