Follow the Pixels

Pixels represent many things in life but for the majority of us gamers they tend to represent the crappy graphics of yesterdecade versus the '1337' graphics of today. Unfortunately these were also some of the best games that were ever created, in a simpler time filled with simpler people and less demand. Nowadays it's all about who has the most pixels and the best graphics, most gaming companies don't give two tosses about the storyline or the length of the game.

Hello, I'm Pixel and there's only one of me. Not even the Magnavox Odyssey could boast such limited pixels, even with its timeless classics like 'Win'. I'll be joining Springy-B in his journey through games and movies and other such crap that's semi-related. I'll be sticking to indie, retro and yesteryear's classics with a touch of mainstream thrown into the mix.

If anyone has any suggestions, insults or ideas for articles then feel free to hurl them my way. I'll do the best that I can, but remember that there's only one of me.

Sadly its true, many games are made every year with killer graphics but horible gameplay
Welcome to the Blog, Pixel. :D
Understood Pixel, I look forward to hearing what you've got to say.
good blog...
I still don't mind old looking games. I mean, I'm still playing counter-strike source and snes emulated games after all!
I thought Crysis was actually a pretty good game with amazing graphics.

There are of course exceptions to the rules. :p
Sometimes 2D is just right.
nice post!
Thanks for all the warm welcomes, all. I look forward to potentially entertaining you with all my future posts. And if there's anything you want me to write about then just let me know!
game designers apparently think the flashiness of their game can make up for the lack of substance in the actual plot line.
I agree. Many of the older games are MUCH more enjoyable, despite their unsophisticated graphics.
Hehe, Pixel, how do you feel about King's Quest 1?

I've not actually played that game yet, or the remake. :p
