Do you sometimes enjoy gaming rumors more than the actual game?

Sometimes it feels that way to me. Sometimes I run across certain websites that tell amazing tales of games and I think to myself: wow that would be so great.

Ever feel that way?

Oh yeah, all the time. My mind sees a game get announced and immediately starts thinking of all the potentially amazing things it could have (many which never happen). Then I'm slighly letdown and enjoy the game less. Maybe this is why games I just buy on the spur of the moment I usually end up enjoy more. For example, I hadn't even heard of Red Dead Redemption until I saw the Gamespot review, saw the good score and thought I would try it out. I loved it. Same thing happened for me with Demon's Souls as well, and a few other titles.

Games I consistently hype and think of everyday year round usually don't live up to my high hopes. Not surprising.
