Here is an exaple form IGN of a Retro review that was posted recently.

I'm still waiting for a retro channel.


That's what "Gaming" is, silly.

Meh....A dedicated channel would be even better. (It would probably be even more confusing)
Everything fits in the gaming channel though.


nope.  From the Guidelines:

"Screenshots / videos / previews and reviews and other game related info should not be filed as Gaming news. The Gaming channel is for news about game tournaments, game culture, retro games and other off beat gaming related news or stories."
