Hugo: True, PS3 has a big line-up coming, and it’s not their fault some games got leaked, but it’s not my fault either and the end result is the same: their presentation really wasn’t all that impressive.

BUT microsoft ruled E3, im not saying i buy it, but they had such a spielbergian minority reportish(as in futuristic blockbuster movies) way of promoting their new stuff that i believe it`s gonna get all those casuals to freak out and buy a 360 right now and it`s going to become the family entertainment system. Besides Natal, I`m sure everyone thinks it`s the most amazing and groundbreaking of news the possibility to watch television on your own…television!

??? – I never heard of a definition that says: “To be a Gamer you must play portable games.”

I agree with you Osama, it wasn’t an impressive show. However, I’m not to excited about Left 4 Dead or any other games this year, but I can’t wait to get my hands on:

- Shadow Complex (XBLA)

- Alan Wake

- Halo: ODST – 4 player coop with my friends

- Halo: Reac – maybe the Halo I’ve always been waiting for.

- Splinter Cell: Conviction – I hope Mark and Spot isn’t too bad

At the top of that, what is Epic Games doing? What about Deus Ex 3 from Eidos Montreal? A few deceptions for so much expectations of the “most important E3 yet”.

You’re not wrong but I just see E3 in a different way. To me, E3 is a place and an excuse to build up hype for the industry. You build up hype but unveiling new things, not by revealing more about something that’s already announced. To me, Sony had a way better showing last year than this year with that in mind.

And Nintendo had a way better year this year than last. Granted, it’s far from ideal, but at least they announced a handful of relevant and exciting games unlike last year’s Wii Sport Resort and Wii Music.

Microsoft announced the most new material, and I haven’t heard anyone disagree with them having the best showing this E3.

Oh, and New Monkey Island is the SHIZNIT

Other then New Metroid (I hope it’s not as hard as Ninja Gaiden) and the 2 new mario games (very exited about that, the wife will love New super mario bros and I love galaxy + Yoshi) I was mortified watching that press conference.

Nintendo invited the industry and video game press and showed them nothing they wanted to see (which was proven by how little applause and fanfar they got). Nintendo isn’t making games for Gamers anymore. They are making “experiences” for everyone else. And with that I commend them, because they are rolling in money. But if nintendo wanted to get a good response from the audience they should have invited soccer moms, teenage girls and senior citizens. I mean what the fuck is the Biometric finger thing. It’s like they’re making a heart monitor for old people so they don’t work to hard at wii bowling and have a heart attack.

Also, where’s Zelda? Where’s Pikmin? Where’s Starfox (PLEASE GIVE ME ONLINE STARFOX)? Where’s F-Zero? How Come we now have 3 Wii Mario Games (if you don’t count the sports or party games) 2 Wii Metroid Games, 2 Excite(blank) games, a Punchout game but no F-Zero, Pikmin, Starfox and (Let’s be honest here) no REAL Zelda Wii game. If you don’t have the internal teams to handle those games, then let 3rd party handle them. Sega Made F-Zero gamecube and it was fantastic. Metroid games have been handled by a 2nd party and now 3rd party developer and they look great. Capcom made the GBC zelda games and CREATED the four swords gamestyle. There was barelly anything announced for “US” and that’s why I’m so down.

Sony on the other hand, to me, did a great job CONSIDERING how much news got leaked.

-PSP Go would have been huge had it not been leaked, and not just the device, but the fact that all games from this point on will be Download and Disc, that’s a huge step to me.

-GOW3 was manadatory

-MAG has a terrible name but the demo was impresive

-Trico, again, would have been huge, had it not been leaked

-Metal Gear Solid: 4 Swords looks pretty cool

Just in the shear number of games announced I’m much more impressed with Sony’s showing then nintendo, and I bought a wii launch day and sat over night to get it.

To be honest the only thing that made me REALLY happy about this years E3 was that not only is there an HD remake with Voice actors of the Original Monkey Island Game, bu that Telltale has partenered with Lucasarts to make 5 Episodic chapters in the story of Monkey Island.

I was grinning ear to ear when I heard the news. Sam and Max, Now Monkey Island, maybe the possibility of a new Manic Mansion?!
