E3 2010

I wanted to split this into different posts and go into depth on what I liked/thought of each conference/game etc. But in the end laziness took over, so instead expect one huge post. First off it as to be said, well done Nintendo! got to say you where the best of the show. Coming in second and nearly first would be Microsoft and finally Sony, what happened guys? making jokes of the other consoles yet nothing major new? don't get me wrong I did enjoy Killzone 3 and move but the show seemed lacking!

SHOCKERS!
Xbox Slim
Was amazed with the announcement of Xbox Slim, with the leak pictures of the slim motherboard I knew something was coming but not have a finished product that would be out within the month. Love the idea of built in Wi-fi though

Nintendo 3DS
3DS well, it was announced but did not expect all those lovely features and benefits. I was really surprised with the two outside cameras to take 3D photos, but built in motion sensor and the deal with Disney for 3D films. Now hearing can install games to the memory, wow just...no words can describe how impressed I am. Hopefully price and date soon, I really hope its out in time for Christmas this year.


The Motion War
Well with both Natal and Move announced at last year's E3, I was eager to see what they were going to do with these technologies. I did have my doubts and worries that it would turn into some kind of gimmick that would be fine for the first year then forgotten about after. Still got that worry but it seems alot less now after both conferences.

Kinect
Not a big fan of the name, kinda do prefer the name Project Natal but whatever. I was impressed with how smooth it seemed i the demo's on stage for Zune, video chat etc. Gaming well, don't get me wrong I'm looking forward to it but would like to see some more mainstream games to be announced for it before I buy it (got my deposit down just in case). I liked the Star Wars game they showed but a bit worried about the whole rail thing, but guess will have to see how that turns out. Did like the look of Kinect Adventures and Kinectimals is a yes for both me and Lynn lol. Do have a worry about price though

Move
I was expecting this to be a firm not getting in my mind, not because I'm biased or anything just the fact nothing announced before was to my liking. Well it was sold to me with the conference, I loved the fact Killzone 3 will be using it and Sorcery! wow what a game, i love how easy the spell casting was and the little touches like potion drinking. Price for the controller is fine but was bit surprised with how much the navigation controller is, bit high in my opinion and hopefully a price drop before release. I look forward to seeing more games announced for it before it comes out.


GAMESOf course no E3 is without awesome games and this year there are hundreds, in fact myself and several my friends are looking at are bank statements with worry lol. There are so many to name but I will limit the post to a few and over the next few months I probably will go into detail on a few as the release dates come closer.
Zelda Skyward Sword (Wii) - Nintendo you know that sword and shield you used at the start? well make that into a controller set for a limited edition and you will make millions!
Gears of War 3 (Xbox 360) - Old school lancers, bigger scarier beserkers! seriously cannot wait!
Bulletstorm (Xbox 360) - Gears of war with force powers is the way I look at this game, I will be keeping an eye on it
Killzone 3 (Playstation 3) - The demo was awesome and the graphics! wow! i really looking forward to this game next year
Assassin's Creed 2 Brotherhood (Xbox 360) - Loved the new cinematic trailer and the opening level looked impressive
Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 (Xbox 360) - The trailer...clones...omg!
Fable 3 (Xbox 360) - Looking to shape into a very nice game, still on the side lines but I am getting tempted now for it.
Portal 2 (Playstation 3) - YES!!!!!
Ghost Trick Phantom Detective (Nintendo DS?) - love Phoenix Wright so this looks right up my street

As I said the list goes on, anyway that's it for now. Check back soon for random posts!
