The expo is finally over. All the producers and designers can breathe a sigh of relief and get back to making games instead of pimping them. All in all I felt, as an outside observer, that the show left me slightly wanting. There was no groundbreaking news, no giant promises, and no real blockbuster game announced that we didn’t already know about.
The Nintendo Talk
Nintendo is about making cash. Which isn’t a bad thing. Unless you’re a serious hardcore Nintendo gamer fan boy who wishes they’d remake Zombie’s At My Neighbors for the Wii.I wouldn’t say they are done with hardcore games altogether, but the order of the day is definitely casual stuff, and their talk certainly said that. They did introduce some new hardware for the Wiimote that promised more accurate movement…and then used it to throw a Frisbee to a dog in Wii Sports 2. Read More »

E3 rages onward, and like any gaming expo, one of the main orders of the day is the sequel. Some people hate sequels, and rightfully so. A sequel done poorly is just a rehashing of the original game with new stuff added that either ruins what was fun about the original or just feels boring. Take Unreal Tournament for example. The 99′ edition was bitchin’. Every release after that, less so. They announced UT3 today and no one gives a shit because nothing feels fresh and all the old classic stuff that people loved has been squeezed out. Read More »

I don’t like to talk about how the XBOX360 is better then the PS3. I own a 360, but I’ve played the PS3 and I like it just fine. It’s a solid platform and the game I played on it (Ratchet and Clank) was quite fun. However, if you can’t read the writing on the wall that the PS3 is hurting, you’re either completely blind or hopelessly obsessed.
Yesterday at E3, Square Enix showed a trailer for the next game in their hyper-popular series, Final Fantasy. A series that was first a Nintendo property, and then at the turn of the console wars (when the N64 proved to be the weaker system) swore allegiance to the Playstation platform. Until now. The next game, Final Fantasy XIII (which looks, for all intents in purposes, gorgeous but pretty standard) will be available for both the 360 and the PS3.

E3 is upon us! Alright, so it’s actually occurring all around us, at this very moment, and while it might be disappointing when we remember the E3 of old, with tons of swag and booth babes to ogle, the lack of those things gives us more time to focus on what’s really important. The GAMES. Nothing all that groundbreaking has been announced, and I’m not really expecting anything too huge, like a new platform, but I’ve been following the trailer stream and I’ve got to admit, I’m getting pretty pumped for some of these games.
Let us take a look at the Top 3 Trailers of the show so far. Read More »
