Well this E3 was certainly over-blown.
Nintendo did an excellent job with their major revelation of several Wii games and some pretty cool attatchments for the controller.
Microsoft got me excited with Halo 3, and got some other nice games on the floor too.
But Sony, mmm, nice games, but the system ain't that great.
Remember the 3DO? A system that had a massive assortment of extra features and some incredibly hardware, but cost upwards of to nine hundred bucks. Showing that somethings are too advanced for their times.
Personally, I would've liked it if Sony toned down the hardware and just gave us a cheaper and more efficient system.
I mean, have you seen the controller? They set that thing up, what, a week before the show? And not to mention that it completely rips off the work of Microsoft and Nintendo. Now this would've been fine for me, the more stuff, the merrier, companies are meant to borrow eachother's ideas.
But calling it a "Sony innovation"?
Please.
I'm a Sony fan, and I feel insulted that they had the nerve to call me an idiot by lying so obviously straight to my face, give credit where credit is due.

But otherwise, I can't wait for titles such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and God Hand. They look awesome.
And God Of War II, loved the original, now I just can't wait for the next one to come bursting out of the womb.

Anyone else notice the abscene of any notable PC titles?
Commander and Conquer 3, Prey, BioShock, Hellgate London, Spore, but what else?
Not much, the PC had a really weak showing, but it'll probably be much better next year when all the excitement over the next gen consoles has been blown over our heads.

So otherwise the show was great, it all worked out for us gamers (except maybe for that ridiculous PS3 pricetag, 500$ for a toned down system and even more for the full? I could buy a PC with that much cash) looking forward to the Wii, and my 360 is just hungry for some new games to gobble up (so far its only been enjoying Oblivion)
Hurrah!
