You saw this coming, after E309 almost everyone is bound to write about it. Keep in mind that I don't really give a toss about Microsoft so you won't be hearing much about them.
Now onto Nintendo: It feels like Nintendo actually heard the fans cries from 08 and made a good choice and rub Mario in the face of the fans, now they're all hyped for the new Super Mario galaxy and New Mario bros Wii. If you ask me this project feels kind of rushed out to hush the fans. I'm sure the game will be fine since the first Mario galaxy was fine and now that Yoshis in there too the game will be a bit more fun (at least for Yoshi fans like myself).
And now to New super Mario bros Wii, I would prefer this game on the DS but I guess that the online play will be better if it's on the Wii. There's not more I can say really, I mean, it's Mario you jump, you stomp, you triumph that's how it's been since the 8-bit era.
Now this one will be hard to talk about, Metroid : an other M. I'm going to be honest I'm really torn about this game, first of, it seems to switch between 1st person and 3rd person, I'm sure the transition will be smoother in the game than in the trailer but still. Also, I'm not to sure about Team Ninja, sure they made Ninja Gaiden but that game was (and still is) rough around the edges, and I don't mean the bastard difficulty where the camera wants you dead and makes sure that you can't see the guy throwing exploding shurikens, I mean that Ryu didn't control too well when the camera shifted angle which led to many jump off cliffs deaths. But then again, since they work with Nintendo who take their (sweet) time with their games I still hope that the new Metroid will be at least good.
That's really all that got my attention in Nintendos E3 so let's move on to Sony.
I'm sure a lot of people are attacking Sony forums online yapping about how they copy Nintendo's remote, but from what I saw Sonys looked like it controlled much more precise, sure now that Motion + is on it's way the Wiimote control just as good, but it looked impressive and I hope that Sony (and third party) will use this technology better than Nintendos third party that just keep farting out party games.
MAG looks pretty nice, but since most people online are selfish wankers that have no feeling for teamwork I think that MAG won't be as successful as it could be.
Alien vs Predator looks promising, I just hope that the developer will take a 2nd look at the game after they finish it to make sure that the game is well balanced.
The new Splinter cell looks less realistic and more action based than stealth based.
The new Assassins creed has some promise, I just hope that it'll be longer this time.
The last guardian looks interesting, but I miss the huge bosses. Also, is anyone more than me reminded about The never-ending story when they see this game?
The new Ratchet & Clank looks good, and after I heard them say "We try to make it more open-ended" only this thought went trough my mind : Score!
And God of war 3... Well, it's God of war what else is there to say?
So that's what got my attention in this years E3, hopefully these games will turn out great.
