   Watching this reminded me of how good the flamethrower was in Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Definitely ahead of its time. What’s really sad is that a game more than 10 years old has flamethrower effects that look MUCH better than that found in Aliens: Colonial Marines.

      Lol ACM will go down in infamy, it was a rushed who knows who did what game, just let it die. But I agree with the Wolfenstein flamer, it was so good.

   What I notice is the earlier games are hectic and fun with a monster around every corner in cramped environments but the later videos have huge empty environments and fewer frags.
   Was the guy sliding down the cable near the half way point a metaphor for the declining fun in shooters?
   I know it’s not the case, it’s just the way the video comes across. He should have thrown the new Serious Sam in there for good measure.

      The last one was battlefield 3, has almost nothing to do with single player and the game has been that way since they brought out bf 1942 in roughly 2002(?). An old school shooter was made recently it was called Duke Nukem Forever, and it showed how dated that kind of gameplay has become.

   Ahh memories… lol

   Though yeah there should have been a few more games in there that showed the dramatic advances that happened in some games like Serious Sam, Prey, etc…

   I like to know what a person from 1992 think about if they saw video games of today?
