As someone who only recently acquired an XBOX I cannot help but always wonder how these older games stack up when compared to the new games being released. They are often on special and I am tempted to buy them but I always feel that, as someone who is not a hardcore gamer, I will be left disappointed with the "inferior" graphics when compared to the new stuff.
High five for having Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 up there. It's the very best skating game ever envisioned by man. I spent so much of my childhood playing that.
