I was shocked that noone was writing about games more than a few months old. In the rare cases which they did, it was labeled “retrospective” or “nostalgia”, and they were definitely aware that by playing this game 6 months late they weren’t “with it.” At times I’ve gotten caught up in this cult of newness more than I care to admit.

Incidentally, this post becomes especially delightful when run through Gizoogle ;)
