“Sometimes you need to wait until its 5 a.m., when there’re only a few people left drinking straight from the Franzia bladder, and you’re all watching the sun come up after you decided to trade pants. The video game equivalent of this is the last 18 months or so of a gaming machine’s commercial life span, long after its successor has already come out. At the end, not at the beginning or even the middle, is the best time to explore a machine’s library. Not only do you get to reap the benefits of all its past successes, you get to indulge in those precious last licks, games that aren’t necessarily the greatest but that are almost always worthy, distinct, and blessedly weird.”
