Thanks for the feedback, and I can't really argue with any of your points. I knew going in that it is impossible to compare graphics from different eras - but I was dumb enough to try anyway. I guess the way I graded the graphics was based on how much I enjoyed looking at the game and how much the visuals impacted my enjoyment of the game. There are old vs new, cutesy vs realistic and other comparisons, but in the end, I just went with my gut on how it looked (and for gameplay, how it played). I love numbers, so I'm sure I'll tweak it in the future (and gameplay already accounts for 2/3 of the total). Mostly, I just wanted to start another conversation about great games and give newbies some games to check out they may not be familiar with. I have more categories coming soon and will try to do a game-of-the-day feature.
Keep in mind also that these are JUST my top games, I have way more than this rated that fall below my "favorites".
