My Thoughts on E3

I found this year's E3 was pretty good. The press conferences all had good stuff to show and in my opinion, Sony's was the best of the three.

Sony showed a lot of PS3 stuff including Uncharted 2, MAG, God of War III and ModNation Racers. They also announced Agent and showed a bit of Final Fantasy XXIV. I'm sure FF14 will be exciting for a lot of people but I'm not really into it. Also happy that MGS: Rising is on PC, PS3 and 360 instead of just one system. Footage of Assassin's Creed 2 and the new PSEye motion controllers was awesome as well.

Microsoft also had some cool stuff. There's the new Halo's which I won't be following since I'm not a fan, Splinter Cell looks pretty awesome, as does Alan Wake. Both of those are also on the PC if I remember correctly, so I might check them out. Gameplay footage of Modern Warfare 2 looks amazing. Natal looks good, but I'm not sure how much it'll improve since dev kits are already going out. To be honest, I don't really buy it. It looks fun, but limited in that it goes for the hands-free approach, which makes it look like going into Wii-minigame competition rather than competing with what could be a great addon for the PS3. Don't call me a fanboy - I prefer my PC over any console any day.

Nintendo perhaps had some of the best reveals. It's good to see a new SMB and news that a Wii Zelda will come out as well asSMG2 and Metriod: The Other. I might actually start getting some Wii games late this year/next year. I don't have much to say about it since it's the one I didn't watch.

EDIT: Forgot a couple of Nintendo games /facepalm
