The only game I've played so far on my new rMBP was Civ V, which supports Retina in that its buttons and controls are blocky and double size and the map itself is rendered at full resolution.
I just got a rMBP yesterday. It's surprising/disappointing to me how gross non-retina apps and websites look. Almost worth switching back.. almost. Retina apps are so buttery smooth. I really hope there is wider adoption over the next couple of months.

Gross compared to retina-enabled apps or gross compared to a non-retina MBP?

I just got one last night. I am overall very impressed, although I agree that it really is jarring to hit an app that's not designed for Retina. Have you tried running the native resolution? It gives you tons of real estate and avoids the retina compatibility problem, assuming your vision is good enough :) You can't get the native resolution from system preferences, but there are some utilities that make it pretty co…
I've settled on 1680x1050 for browsing and jump up to 1920x1200 for coding.

I actually submitted a bug to the chrome team about this. Both Apple and Google have screwed up their scaling algorithm, they're using bicubic scaling instead of nearest neighbor scaling and it make everything as you say look "gross" You can see the issue here http://craftymind.com/factory/retinascaling/retina.html

Why is nearest neighbor scaling better? It would make images look like on a non-retina display, but is that the best use of the additional pixels? Nearest neighbor scaling is usually considered one of the worse scaling algorithms, unless you're looking at pixel art.
