The summer generally speaking is often a dead zone for gaming. Sales are normally slower and most publishers don't want to release games they know will not sell. Usually I would find myself going back a ways and breaking into games on older consoles that I never had the opportunity to play or enjoying the "B" titles for the current consoles.

Last summer something odd happened, Games I actually wanted to play found their way onto store shelves in Summer. Saints Row and Dead Rising are the two that spring to mind and this summer The Darkness and Overlord come to mind.

Now of course the onslaught of stellar games comes forward and what really bothers me is yet again I find my PS3 with dust on it.

I was told at launch that Resistance would be the be all and end all of gaming, then it scored lower the Gears of War, then I was told to wait for the "better" version of Oblivion which was marginally better then the game I had played a year earlier and then of course Lair and Warhawk were the titles that would make owning a PS3 worth while, and here I am reading the first reviews that have both games in the high 5's to mid 6's.

While Bioshock which really is just an appetizer to me as I wait for Mass Effect and Halo 3 ends up scoring in the high 9's on IGN and a 9.0 on Gamespot.

What is Sony doing? Have they taken their user base for granted because it certainly feels that way.

Now I am being told that Killzone 2 will be the be all and end all of gaming, except I have already walked down this road with Sony and was disappointed.

There is little denying at this point that Wii is clearly the console of "The People" while Microsoft is quietly building a Library and becoming the console of "The Gamer"

Who would have thought?
