Meta, have you actually been paying attention to this thread? I am defensing the old classic, that Oddworld -game is. Now, I have seen the trailer/teaser of Avatar, but Krisknox probably has not seen Oddworld trailer/teaser, so he can't even tell what style of a game is it, but as I said, I've seen the teaser of Avatar and know what style of a movie it is, so yeah, that's completely different thing.

Avatar is stretching the limits of what movies can do

That's the thing. I don't see Avatar scretching the limits of what movies can do anyhow. It is just another movie with special effects and a bad storyline, like almost every movie of these days.

Just because we now have much larger pyramids doesn't make the great pyramid of Giza unimpressive, even today.

That is kind of a bad example, seeing as pyramids are such old buildings (is that the right word for that?). Anyway, let's take skyscrapers as examples instead.
If you take the world's very first scryscrapers and put them to battle against the new skyscrapers, the old scyscrapers have taken a lot more guts to make. Nowadays we have all sorts of machines that can help us make those giant buildings but back in the days, there were only very few machines and much more was made with human hands, and took a lot more time. So without a guestion, the old workers and the old buildings themselves deserve more respect than the ones we build nowadays.
