Opinion: Why is retrogaming the way to go?

If you like gaming there is no better way than retrogaming and of course best enjoyed on the handheld king of emulation the GP2X.

Why is that?

Well, if you read reviews for new games they seem to be not always impartial. There is a lot of money involved in the gaming industry so I am sure some of the good reviews are being sponsored by the companies making the games. So you think you buy the best game ever, but it could well be a major disappointment. Also there is not always a lot of choice for new consoles. Best games for any console are mostly made near the end of its commercial success. Do you want to wait that long, for a couple of good games?
If an older game is still played today and people are still liking it, that's a sure sign of having a good game. History judged the games, and the games surviving are the best to play. The only thing probably will be less are the graphics. New technologies will continue to improve graphics. A 3d racing game on the PS3 will look a lot better than the first 3d racer on the Spectrum.

That said a game with great graphics but poor gameplay will not last long. That doesn't mean new games have less gameplay, but certainly different. Stuntcar Racer will not look very good compared to the new Gran Turismo 5 but I don't think GT5 makes Stuntcar Racer a bad game. It is still a great game with its own physics and tracks that makes the game unique and loved by many gamers.

Oh, btw... did I already mentioned retrogaming is cheap.
