Retro or Next generation
ghostman50:
Next Gen, obviously.
Though the retro games laid the foundation, they are still crap by today's standards.
Yea, nostalgia's nice but no one would seriously pass up Halo:Reach for Metroid.

It depends. Because if you consider 2002's Metroid Prime a retro game, Halo:Reach can go be the fanboy fuel that it already is.
Personally, I don't care when the game came out. It just has to be a good game. And there are alot of old games that can easily be considered better than todays games. Just because its newer, doesn't mean its automatically better than the games that have come before it.
Starfox 64, Super mario 64, Golden eye, Twisted Metal, they were all better quality then things like Gears of War or Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2. They just don't look as pretty.

Actually I really like Trainer Silver's point. Retro is a term that can differentiate between people. So may consider even halo 2 (only 5 years) retro while others may not. So yeah age really doesn't matter its just people like good games.

I'd pick retro over anything new. My favorite console ever created was the Super Nintendo. I spent more time on that thing than my PS2 and Xbox combined. Aside from the DS Lite I haven't gotten a system newer than an xbox.
If this is a question directed at PC gamers though, definitely newer generation games. 98-present. As much as I loved Wolfenstein, Doom, and hell, even DOS games, I'd much rather play Oblivion, Unreal Tournament, Quake III, and the original Call of Duties more than them.
