Recession ...

I don't if I'm getting old ... oh wait I do know, and I am. But I'm not sure if I'm showing symptoms of getting old. You know the kind where you reminisce about ye goode olde days. Times when ice cream was still fattening, bacon always came in thick slices and it snowed every christmas.

It seems to me that the usual torrent of gaming news in january is absent this year. We're usually treated to all sorts of exciting rumours, press releases and trailers of things to come during the new year. Not this year though. Hottest demo seems to be Skate 2 (Yay??) and all every developer out there is concerned about, is assuring us that ... well, they are not really assuring us of anything. It's awfully quiet on the gaming front.
I would've thought every dev and publisher out there would be busy announcing their exciting line-up for 2009 ... if for no other reason than to entice investors and fightthe consumers' ever dwindling gaming budget.

As i said above, maybe it's just me being an old fart
Thanks for your time
