http://youtu.be/8BzmH1NBXCg Ever realised that every time a new generation of consoles are released it gets less and less exciting? Way back when digital gaming was new, the future was infinite, only in dreams could developers imagine the games we have now. In the past gamers were set on edge by the prospect of a new console which was a huge and unprecedented step up. The next console offered unimaginable advancements in terms of gameplay and graphics, with more colours, more sounds and more polygons by the truckload.

All things that many players can easily overlook, which is why the excitement is subsiding. What do you miss about gaming in your childhood? Let us know in the comments!
