Or gaming has been dead lately... no hype, no games, most gaming talk i've seen on GB is Persona.

Havn't been paying much attention have you?

I mean, I havn't either but theres a Kojima announcement coming, E3 just around the corner, and incase you ahvn't noticed the recession is killing lots of studios and businesses are being cautios so it's natural there wouldn't be a huge amount of stuff.

Also, modern warfare 2, Mass Effect 2 news on the way. and im sure more ive not payed attention to.

I've seen the Kojima things... not much hype on that... just people talking about it for a bit and got over it.

I can careless about news... i want something to play!

I'm looking forward to Infamous, Prototype, and Champions Online... but yes, I agree it has felt very dead lately.  I have had nothing new to play for a very long time.  The last new game I bought was Killzone 2 on the release day.  I've bought some others, but they are old games from 07/08.

No I didn't like the controls in the demo, I'm just not a fan of RE.

I thought its been a bang up year so far mostly because I love games everyone hates
killzone 2 and re5 were good
godfather 2 was actually my game of the year till I got infamous (I've had it for a day now)
and my sick addiction to DW gundam 2 where I've log 79 hours playing it

Well, I think all the hype has gone to games that we think might come out this year but probably isn't. Like anything blizzard or valve  makes.

No, is just the quarter of the year, and just wait after E3 and summer things will spice up. If not well we are going to see what happens.

Infamous out this week, the Modern Warfare 2 trailer today (looks great)
Id say that those two would make up for any reason for thinking gaming is dead lately

It isn't just you, this is definitely a more slower period in gaming. Right before E3, several months after the holiday rush of games. Everything will pick up in a week, though.

This is a slower period... Infamous is the only thing that is coming out NOW. You'll have to wait for E3 for any news though.

@DuhQbnSiLo: There's been a lot of good stuff released recently: Red Faction is great, Prototype is a blast, I'm sure infamous is as good as they say it is. Even Ghostbusters has a favorable opinion for the most part.

If there isn't anything new, why not go Retro? I'm sure there's a bunch of elite titles you've never played that are cheap, like the inexplicably overlooked "the Darkness" by the makers of Bioshock.

@Sprizmo:

Publisher =/= Developer.

If you're gonna throw up a fact as least google it first, Starbreeze developed The Darkness, the same people who make the Chronicles of Riddick games (with their own proprietary engine no less, a very impressive one)

2K Games published both The Darkness and Bioshock, but that is all they share in common, 2K didnt make it they don't own Starbreeze. They did make Bioshock though.

@The_A_Drain: I stand corrected. I knew it was one of the 2 and yes I should have googled.

Agreed I really enjoyed it, although it definately had flaws it's cheap enough now that you can ignore those.

it's because it's the summer drawt :( there won't be as many games coming out because it's the summer time. people like to spend time with the family and go on vacations.
