Interesting to see the GTAs are the top-sellers. It would be interesting to see why Sony couldn't so enough to offer exclusivity to rockstar for GTA 4, expecially as the console has a higher capacity disc-wise, and therefore could offer more content. Intriguing to me, at least.
Although it's a good idea, the article is pretty irrelevant.
As has been mentioned already, a fair few of the games aren't 2d at all, they are 3d with restricted camera angles. What came to mind when I saw this article was "beneath a steel sky"; a great game which could have been developed now, albeit with 3d restricted camera angles.
It's a pointless list in my view, maybe a list of genuine 2d games which are still playable now would be more appropriate. For example Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter (& 2), when they were released, looked great and were huge amounts of fun, but are now played mainly for only nostalgia purposes. Other games like Mariokart and (mentioned above) Lemmings, are still regarded as great games, even though they aren't relevant to todays gaming "needs".
An in a word, weird, article, and a contradiction to itself.

I think this loosly describes throwing a ball twice upwards and catching it, as long as you can do it in a predictable way.

Did anyone else read Dirk gently sterilized on the BBC?
Perhaps Al Quaeda actually wanted to achieve the look of the Kane FMV sequences in Command & Conquer.
