I was just guessing as to why RoG and crew have it set up that way. Maybe RoG and crew like the classics more than the recent games, maybe they are only allowing classics to show appreciation, maybe they honestly think that classics are the only ones worth playing.
Of course, none of this is set in stone. I'm just saying as a classic cheeseball myself, these would most likely be the reasons I'd only do classic reviews.
End note: Perhaps, ultimately, classics are easier to find on the web and in old stores. They come across as more easily accessible, especially to the nostalgic and the 80s child in general, and that just makes them SEEM more fun to review. Case in point: If you were trying to fill up a website, would you want 500 ROM reviews (because ROMs are easily found) or 20 recent reviews (because ISOs are already a lot of trouble, people will only spend money on what's popular so those reviews would get tired quickly, and if someone actually bought these games, assuming their parents' last names aren't Gates, they can only afford so many a month, leading of course to less reviews.)
This doesn't really totally apply because the option is there to include all reviews of all systems, but I think it boiled down to a temporary choice (after all, I've never seen RoG or anyone say they would NEVER review PS games or such on the main site). I think maybe it was a choice to include just one and not the other for the time being.
