There is nothing more I'd rather do than write a daily journal in this space, but wouldn't you know it, I find myself distracted. No excuses really matter at this point, but gaming is fast and furious. For the Love of Kay … where to begin.
Kay is a matter of perspective. Kay is a feeling of directing ones love of the game toward making the most out of any given title regardless of its origin or hype. Kay is my word. I'm keeping it in my user name too. Use it at will.
So here I sit after playing titles like Tomb Raider Underworld, Gears of War 2, Far Cry 2, Halo Wars, Street Fighter 4, Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Prince of Persia, Fallout 3 (breath), and the list is getting overwhelming by each new Tuesday.
Where does one find the time to appreciate each title? Oh, I am waiting on for Resident Evil 5 to arrive on my ship at sea. Hurry airmail…hurry…please. RE5 will just be another distraction. A fun distraction to say nothing more, but RE5 is a sure thing. I expect to be excited. RE1 a beyond games were. Why should I expect anything less? I should not because the software is already paid for.
All of these games are hyped/promoted to be the very best of gaming. For the most part, all above attendees are great at providing great gaming experiences. But where's the innovation? Sure LittleBigPlanet is a leap of 4 friends creating new worlds to play in, but is that it? Does each subsequent title in an IP guaranteed to be in my Library by name alone? Yes, likely. Does this make me a flat gamer? Kay says no.
I would never want developers and producers to stop making games with Lara Croft in them, but Lara needs a run for her money too. Drake tries. Someone please tell me that I am not a gullible gamer that accepts what's played in front of him, and tell me that I do love a little something fresh.
Did I mention that I am also waiting for Deadly Creators to come in the mail? Did I?
