I've toyed with the idea of creating a service that aggregates the game reviews of several years ago. Then I would only read those and get the "brand new" games for five bucks.

Interesting. Make the site where you only review games once they get below a certain price threshold. Pull prices from amazon and reviews from the normal places. Let the user use slider(s) and order highest rated in a price range.

Review the game right away, THEN put in the threshold control. Let the user decide with the price threshold what reviews to see. Once the price/quality falls within his criteria, he'll see the review.

You can do that by going into e.g. Metacritic's advanced search [1] and setting the date range.
