To make a break from all those ps3 vs. 360 threads, some retro goodness might be nice [and encourage the oldies to get back stuck in here, looking at you two Terry and Joe]

Retro, when would a game be considered retro? is it just limited towards the 2d era or can it be used for 3d games, sure some classics like ghouls and ghosts are considered true retro but would you pair it along side ff7?

What criteria makes a retro game? does it have to be a classic, or a game that you truely love? will games of today [Halo, GTA etc] be considered Retro in a short few years?

Looking back, do you think the games are getting better or worse? are we heading into a dead end or a stairway to heaven?


and please try to make a led zeppelin homage in each of your posts. For the Children.
