Getting an itch

  I have an itch to try something new. Something new in the videogame world that is. Replaying what I have is fun, especially with something like Borderlands. But then I get in to the mood to look for something a little different. There has been a pretty much never ending supply of something new over my life. Some may say they are all the same but each game does something new each time. Not all of them do it well or come with some downside to what they do that makes it less enjoyable.

  It may be the setting, the story, the new gameplay technique, the advance in visuals that was often the case in the past (less so now) or just something so completely different and/or bonkers that it hasn't been seen before (hello Katamari Darmacy). There is always something coming out that is the product of people far more creative than me. I've written before about being creative, I do it in logical ways, these people though come up with complete worlds and stories to tell in those worlds and make something that is fun to do while this story takes place. I will never grow tired of seeing what people come up with and living through the game.

  Anyway, the point I'm saying is that I'm getting that feeling again. The feeling I need to see something new or different. The need to explore the imagination of a group of people and reward them for it by buying a game. I'm just glad I'm able to actually buy these games now, unlike when I was a wee lad and buying a game was something that only happened a couple of times a year. One advantage to getting older it seems.
