"Best Retro Revival
NP: Donkey Kong Country Returns
Readers: Donkey Kong Country Returns"

Why is Donkey Kong considered "Retro" (aka old game)? FPS are really old too, and I don't see anyone calling Black Ops "retro". Ditto for racing games such as Gran Turismo 5, or Puzzle games. Puzzle games are extremmely old (older 2d than platforming games by the way), yet no one calls them retro. It is almost offensive. When they need to have a separated category for the games that can't be considered true game of the today age, they call it "retro". Bullshit.



Above: still the best game of the year.
