Why Games Nostalgia At Christmas Just Isn't What It Used To Be
Dec 26th 2015, 06:09

TechRadar Christmas and the New Year are always a time for reflection and nostalgia and more importantly, eating so much Quality Street that chocolate bubbles up your nose whenever you hiccup. Good times. But with it, there's always that tinge of regret that it can never be quite like it once was; when Santa seemed possible (instead of, as we all know, quite real) and packages under the tree were little parcels of magic and surprise instead of quite probably socks. It's natural, I know. But I regret that I can't ever see myself being as excited, as pumped up, as shaking-magazine-pages-to-make-the-screenshots-move as during the 90s, waiting to crack open games like Day Of The Tentacle or Grim Fandango, or Street Fighter II for the SNES. As far as games go, I'm not sure anyone quite does any more. Not in the same way, at least.
