Fine Wine

By now, you must have heard of the argument that 'video games are art', and yeah, I could easily support that claim. However, after gaming all my life, I can look at my games like fine bottles of digitized wine. Now, they haven't all aged nicely, Nickelodeon Party Blast aged like Benjamin Button's farts after eating a diet of beans and old milk that plays worse than it did nine years ago.

Other games that will actually be remembered in the future, like that awesome grandpa that rides motorbikes that we all envy. I'm sure you, my favorite reader, has such a game in mind, but for now, Doom makes a good point. Each level has multiple ways to tackle each level, the ambient noise and demon snarls still create an eerie mood, and temporarily recreating the matrix with every dodge never gets old.

On the other hand, Party Blast plays worse than a headless chicken riding a tricycle with just one wheel and made less sense than the actual image of the metaphor. Only the game's shortcomings leave it etched in my memory, I cannot forget the horror.

You can even see the bottle of wine begin to ferment with Skyrim. When it first launched, the game's scale is still like none other. Great at first, but even the scale of the world lacks in non-repetitive content. However, the modding community makes up for the void. Like the frosting on an elegant cake, the mods add the final touch to the game. As the players and creators become more creative and push the envelope, the content and ultimately the game improves with time. That's pretty cool. Other games tend to remain unsupported after so long, or just earn DLC and other little patches, and eventually those games will just fade away along with the rest.

Retextures, custom weapons, and little fixes are only the beginning, this game has potential in the future for some large scale mods, and some are already popping up through the woodwork.
