Post subject:  18 years of video game design

I found this cool site that shows pictures of video games from 1990-2008. It really shows the progress of graphics in the games.

Also, out of all those games, I've only played Commander Keen, Counter Strike, Splinter Cell, Far Cry, Guitar Hero, Gears of War, and Crysis. Lol.

This post has brought back some very fond memories. It also made me realize that games were much better back then in terms of story. Nowadays it's more about graphics and beautiful cinematics. I'm not saying that's a bad thing but developers are starting to lack story writers that can actually come up with a good story.

Some of the best ones had no story though.

Commander Keen - run around and collect candy bars, and shoot the slugs and jumping rocks... Um...

And heck, my favourite game, Counter Strike, has the most simplistic story ever. Plant the bomb at this well-defined bomb site!
