You may already know this, but it seems that in the last few weeks PC Gamer has been able to offend pretty much all fans of both old games and adventuregames.
At first they managed to offend pretty much the entire adventuregame community by giving the latest adventuregame The Moment of Silence an underwhelming 14%. Now this may not hurt all of us since we're not all avid adventuregamers, however I'm pretty sure most of us will be shocked by an article leaked from the PC gamer concearning abandonware and nostalgia.

In order not to hijack any links, I'll simply link to the news-page of the Wing Commander fansite where the news is posted.

As you can see the author specifically targets the games X-com 1 (the n°1 most popular game on the site) and the original Wing Commander (which is the third most popular simulation-game on our site after Sim City 2000 and transport tycoon!) and goes on to say that all old games are basically muck.

What are your thoughts on this? Are we blinded by false feelings of nostalgia, or were they and are they still excellent games no matter what their graphics are?
