i miss the "is this the citizen kane of games?" era of bad games crit. i like how it referred to a film from 1941 but was used to mean "the first good/real/important one." i like how it was being used to mean that as late as like, 2010. saying citizen kane, meaning cabiria or oliver twist or birth of a nation, doing so years after the question could coherently be asked
REALLY really meaning "is this finally the one i can mention on my dating profile without looking like a nerd?"
applying the label to shit like killzone 2 regardless
anyway what's the gone with the wind of games? what's the wizard of oz of games? what's the metropolis of games?
(the first game to show a toilet flushing)
