This is something that's been bothering me recently: Gamers in general seem all to willing to dismiss games as being "too old". Now, I'm not a self-righteous retro-gamer who looks down on everything made since the year 2000, but at the same time, I find the aging of video games alarming. I am biased in this regard: due to monetary issues, I've always tended to get my games on a lag of several years, but I've played most games as they've come out, due to the generosity of my friends with deep pockets and HDTVs. Still, I refuse to believe what I've read in forums concerning games like Halo 3 being old. That game only came out in 2007, people. No other medium does this; you'd never hear somebody on a film forum claiming that Star Wars Episode III is old, and that movie was made back in the mists of antiquity, circa 2005. I understand that game technology advances quicker than in almost any other medium of entertainment, but it's hardly fair when 2 year old games that might be quite good are shunned by people who've never played them because they're "too old". Please, tell me what you think. Do I make a valid point, or am I ranting stupidly?
