The ______ of Video Games

[Patrick R]

Citizen Kane of video games, Schmitizen Schmane of Schmideo Schames. We can do better. We can build a web of medium false-equivalency by starting with this simple Rosetta Stone:

 

Doom is the Star Wars of video games.

 

It seems self-evident to me. And now we can work outward. For example, if Doom is the Star Wars of video games, would Doom 2 be the Empire Strikes Back of video games, or would Quake be the Empire Strikes Back of video games?

 

Daikatana is clearly the Star Wars Holiday Special of video games.

Super Mario Bros is the Wizard of Oz of video games.

Can we agree that Last Year at Marienbad is the new Citizen Kane of stuff?

Chronicles of Riddick is the Chronicles of Riddick of video games

 

am I doing this right

 

I was really hoping something would line up like that. I don't know if it's right though, because isn't the Riddick game supposed to actually be pretty good?

 

I made this joke on Twitter in the past, but You Have To Burn The Rope is the

Is TF2 the Oceans 11 of video games? Specialized jobs, swanky music, wry sense of humor, and I can't stop watching/playing it.
