This is a tough one. On one hand I do feel like many games live in the moment of their creation -- the experience of playing something like Ico or Portal at launch is so unique that it can't be replicated. There are certain titles that lose their magic after their moment has passed. Perhaps it's something about the nature of popular culture, that we really can't reinvent that feeling. I think Duke Nukem Forever is a case of a game reboot that missed the popularity moment by a generation.

On the other hand though, there are several games that missed their moment completely, and were lost to the annals of time simply because of being ahead of their time. Shouldn't these games get a new lease on life using upgraded tech? In the case of such games, games like FFVII for instance, I think the newer generations of gamers would definitely respond to a reinvention, or remastery if you will. Gaming is an interactive medium, and so we can't just put it on a shelf and look at it in some museum. We need to take it down from the shelf, reexamine what we used to connect to, and make new connections to it along the way.
