Classic gaming over modern gaming? What's you're stance? Video included.....

People who dont play newer games get on my nerves more than people who only play newer games. Its the age difference, young people will play whats advertised to them and what their friends have. People who stay in the past are kinda sad cases to me because theres still so many awesome games made every year. So I dont see why people only play on their NES or 2600 when theres PS1 games that far more improved upon those old games formulas and invented brand new ways of playing. If yorue into really hard arcade style games then there are several indy games on PSN and XBLA to keep you going.

This article pissed me off for example.

Theres a lot of things wrong with current gaming trends, but that doesnt mean there arent great games made, you just have to dig for the gold through some advertised crap, youre older and on the internet so there shouldnt be any problem doing that. Im the type to make a huge future buying lists on amazon, so maybe Im different than most people, but laziness isnt a reason to say that retro gaming as a whole is better than newer things. Old things stay old, new things always change.

And as my wife and I plan on having kids in the future, I can't help but look at modern games and want to shelter them from such titles as GTA, Dead Rising, COD, Bioshock... you name it! As the technology gets better, the graphics become more realistic (and now almost photorealistic), and the innocence more and more lost.

Theres still new Mario and Zelda games being made, have them play those. A ton of people forget that theres still a LOT of kiddy games out there because Nintendo isnt on top, but if you dont want your kids playing COD or GTA, thats fantastic I dont like those games, but theres still new Nintendo games that yo uand your kids will love.
