Why No Revival?

So, yeah, I haven’t been posting a lot this year. There’s several reasons for that. The biggest one, though, is that there just hasn’t been a lot to write about. I’ve been watching the new releases for PS3 and Wii and there just isn’t all that much I’m interested in, and the few releases that do interest me are either in the distant future or keep getting their release dates pushed back into 2010. Even the DS, which for some time had more releases I wanted to play than I could keep up with, has now seemed to dry up. Chalk it up to the global recession, I suppose.
But even so, it seems I have less time to play games than ever, much less to play them in enough depth to be able to write about them.
That, plus a feeling of general disappointment. Being disappointed by titles that I waited for with great anticipation, like Cross Edge, or disappointment in the revelation that the Wii needs an extra plugin, the Wii Motion Plus, in order to actually do the kind of motion-tracking gameplay that was first promised in its promotions of three years ago. Not to mention the dizzying amount of shovelware that’s being poured onto that system. With sheer volume alone one would think that there would be *something* worth playing on there. But it seems that Nintendo are just about the only ones putting out anything worthwhile on the Wii. There are exceptions, of course, but those are so few and far between…I’ve started to lose hope.
So…what now? Well, I’ll still keep making figure posts, regardless.
