Morning Discussion

by Alice O'Connor, Sep 02, 2010 5:00am PDT

Every year or two, my interest in playing video games wanes and I find myself looking elsewhere for entertainment. Right now, I'm slipping into one of those periods. While I have a stack of new games I'm pretty certain I'll enjoy, after a day of reading and writing about video games I'm turning to books and magazines or heading out to see a film.

The way the cycle usually works is that my passion is re-ignited by a game with really solid mechanics or a multiplayer mode worth getting properly stuck into but for now, I'm drifting away a little. I think this is good, though. After some time spent deep in other mediums and doing other things, I come back reminded of what makes video games so unique and promising to me. Perhaps I'll say more on that when I have time to spare.
