It seems that Nintendo was kinda of a let down to a lot of people...but hell its still cheaper that a PS3 XD they just need to find their niche with the Wii games, and to quote a friend. "not to come out with soccor mom snowboarding games" It seems though that Microsoft is once again attempting to take the lead, what with Halo Wars coming out soon*. I shall forever remain loyal to Nintendo but I do like the 360, it can't be helped Viva Pinata is too addictive!


_{*yes pally I can hear your sqeal of fangirlish/fanboyish joy lolz}

Kind of a let down? lol, Nintendo's conference out right sucked. I had a lot of respect for Nintendo, but they're quickly loosing it by completely blowing off the gamers for ridiculous games. I know they want to expand into a new audiance, but they've just gone too far and are now just completely out of it.

Microsoft's conference was ok, I wouldn't call it great, but it was a heck of a lot better then Nintendo's and they did offer some interesting and in a couple of cases shocking news.

Sony's conference IMO was the best out of the three. It could have used some fixing and it wasn't the best conference that they've ever had. The lack of showing of a couple of their highly anticipated exclusives was a little disappointing and they're display of Home was an out right bust. However unlike Microsoft and Nintendo they kept the entire conference interesting, the idea to use Little Big Planet to graphically display charts and figures for the section that covered the numbers and business updates was absolutely brilliant. It was so unique and entertaining that it made the most boring part of every conference into an interesting visual. And we can't forget the surprise announcement of MAG, a PS3 exclusive that will support 256 player online battles (no AI).

I'd go into more detail on Sony's conference but I've already spent four and a half hours writing my thoughts on it. You can read my full thoughts on Sony's conference here on the PSU. I considered doing the same for Microsoft and Nintendo and posting them here since I can't post them on the PSU, but after the exhausting time I had writing my Sony thoughts I kind of changed my mind. There's still a chance that I'll do it, but right now it's not looking like it, sorry.

EEEEEEEEEEEE *fanboy coming out* EEEEEEEEEE.....cough....*glances around* (Hope no one noticed that, I think to myself)....cough.

Well E3 is has come and gone, leaving me sad, excited, interested, disappointed and a bunch of other things that don't really matter around here. I must say that personally I found the Microsoft presentation the most interesting due to the fact that....well I was unable to see Nintendo's or Sony's. What I saw though made me shiver with eager anticipation. (Though they are trying to take over the world) I greatly enjoy many of the titles that Microsoft has released and are in the process of releasing. Gears of War looks bloody and beautiful as usual, Resident Evil 5 looked crisp and creepy, and the new update on the 360's menu looked family friendly and funnily fascinating.

I was very impressed with many of the games on the way that where showed especially Fallout 3, created by everyones favorite first person dungeon crawler Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion, and by Left 4 Dead which looks great especially since the creators of the game have teamed up with Valve, which makes me even more excited because Valve created HalfLife which is one of the most awesome games out there promising it to be a game to grab for me.(Sucks air in loudly)

Plus I just love shooting zombies and post apocalyptic adventures...EEEEEEEEEE!!!
