    I've been watching the E3 a lot this year and i have come to a couple conclusions:


    • Spore looks fricken awesome, just hope it will work on my computer :(

    • The Wii actually looks pretty sweet, I could definately see me getting this. If you want to see the most innovative use of the controller so far, read up on the new Madden game for it.

    • The ps3 is just too damn expensive. I think they could have cut out all that fancy crap in it, and done just as well for a lower price. It'll be interesting to see if sony leads the console market in the next generation.

    • Supreme Commander is looking good, but its too early to really predict how good it will end up.

    • The xbox 360 seems to have a nice lineup of games, though i still think that its missing a true killer app at this point.

    What are your guys thoughts of the show so far?

    Wii is the only thing I'm interested in. My room mate has a XBox 360 hooked up to the widescreen plasma, and no one plays it. It only gets used for watching DVDs. I can't wait to look like a moron jumping and moving around with the Wii controller.

    Spore? wtf is Spore? Never heard of it.

    I think, Sony has already lost the fight for the console market. They are over a year after M$, the ps3 will cost too much and still the game look like on the xBox360.
    Not to mention, that GTA4 will make it's appearence first on the xBox360 (GTA was kind of a flagship for ps2 befor, I think) and M$ has a real killer application with "Live anywhere" on the run: Playing a game you own on PC, xBox360 and mobile...damn, this will break Sonys neak, I'm pretty sure.
    While Nintendo woll survive with the Wii: it's more for kids and people who are playing only 2 hours a month or so...

    same for me, wii is even more amazing than i would have expected.
    I expected the usual from nintendo, boring video conference with news about zelda and the other big names and having a really bad supply of games on release, but this time it seems there will be some serious kick ass games very soon (yeh yeh zelda XD)
    and also that they said that there will be a 100 new games for the ds was really awesome to hear

    and damn id kill to play wii on a bigass plasma screen :o

    only two games I'm interested in, BF2142 and C&C 3.

    BF2142 is looking super fun to play and althouth I believe tonight's showing of C&C3 is going to be pre-rendered, the screenshots released so far look pretty impressive :D

    Didn't you get the memo? Calling them "M$" is out of fashion. It's now more appropriate to just call them fags.

    Hey, i'm actually a few block away from E3 right now, haha. Stopping in my hotel because food over here is so expensive. E3 this year has been awesome. Nintendo Wii will get stomped, with its specs barely better than the specs of the gamecube, and Sony's motion sensored controllers just made the nintendo wii unoriginal to a certain extent.

    Awesome looking games:

    MGS4 - Looks freaking sweet, last Metal Gear with the solid snake.

    Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway - Watched the trailer and checked out the booth, this will definately be a sweet WW2 shooter, looks a lot better than the last one too

    Call of Duty 3 - Went to the show on this one. Amazing. Can't wait. I'm a huge fan of CoD franchise.

    Final Fantasy XIII- Probably will be a blow out like all the others after FF7, but it looks like it will be worth a shot.

    Vanguard: Saga of Heroes - Awesome game. Sweet booth and I think it will be the MMO to knock WoW off it's rocker.

    Guitar Hero - W00T! Guitar hero is going onto the Ps3, I love that game, haha.

    As usual, the insane dance dance koreans were here today. It's excessive then they stand on their heads and play with their hands, haha.



    Uhmm, thats all I can think of, other han the PS3 is definately on my buy list!

    Thor, out.

    So far I've been rather disappointed with E3 this year. Most of the games I've been (remotely) interested in have all been prerendered or something.

    BF2142 movies are the only things I've really been impressed with :P
