So here is what I think of the press conferences of E3 this year. First let me get Nintendo out of the way by saying YES, they did better than last year. It was good but not great, but its a casual gaming system with last generation graphics so we cant expect much from them but a bunch of kids games and laughable hard core games that dont ever make the cut. The new super mario bros was pretty cool though and the wii fit plus, action, and resort were pretty cool too and should appeal to anyone trying to lose weight. Now that thats out of the way lets get to the real rivalry Microsoft vs Sony. Since everyone is saying that this is the PS3's year to shine because MS took the show last year I personally think it was kinda even with Microsoft having a little bit more of an edge when it came to the new technology aspects (Project Natal is awesome). They both showed excellent games and exclusives, but from a progression stand point, Sony basically did everything that MS did last year, at this years E3. So while everyone is going to bash the 360 I think the fact is that MS showed all their heavy hitters and blockbusters last year and have now MOVED ON, while Sony is just now showing (and delivering) their heavy hitters one year later. So technically their late and everyone has moved on to bigger and better things. I mean we have been waiting for God of War 3 forever (and still have to wait) so everyone already knew about it. Dont get me wrong it kicked sooo much you know what, but it wasnt a surprise. Neither was MAG which I think lets me know that Sony is sacrificing quality for quantity. The game has 256 online players at one time but the game looks like complete crap. Just like earlier this year Resistance 2 had all those online players but compared to other FPS it was mediocore at best (Im sure Im going to get hate mail for that). Uncharted looked great and had great action, but I cant help to think that the uncharted franchise is just a fake indiana jones. I also think they spent way too much time on the psp when they should just give up on that because once again they are shooting themselves in the foot. The DS dominates the portable gaming world for one, and two they are adding to much crap into one console that does waay to much. Now this doesnt mean that MS didnt have its flaws. The joyride game could have been kept or done a bit better and had more depth. it looks like a bunch of people will just be driving around, chatting, with no purpose. Also they could have used a few more exclusives instead of just sequels to everything they already have. Last the Hideo Kojima thing is a joke. Let me tell you my theory of what I think really happened. Kojima said he would NEVER port Metal Gear to any other console now all of a sudden he does (Kojima is usually a man of his word). I think MS begged him so much and threw so much money at him that he just broke down and said what the hey. Kojima had a trump card though. He gave us a side character, a second rate metal gear game, one that he is probably not going to oversee or produce (Im sure he got people to do his grunt work for side projects like this). Thus we got raiden. No Solid Snake (or counterparts), no overseeing, no wrinting script, no nothing. Since he knows how bad MS gamers want Metal Gear, he knows people are going to buy it because it has the metal gear name. Thus another cool MILLIONS in his pocket easily made by making FOOLS of us. I think its BS he should have given us snake instead of doing that BS psp crap. He could had made more by going multi platform. My last thoughts are the racing games are too simulated and not enough arcade, those types of racers suck the joy of racing out of the game (NFS SHift, Forza 3, GT 5). For the rest of the week I would love to see more on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Heavy Rain (Sequel to Indigo Prophecy on the original xbox), and a few others. So what are your thoughts and comments?

i believe that microsoft won the e3 this year and please dont get me started with the wanna be wii remote the only thing "cool" about the ps3 motion controller is that its a glow in the dark dildo (idk maybe some people like that) natal will definitly have flaws but that doesnt throw away the fact that it wont be fixed cause its still being worked on

for example the ps3 fanboys
oh the natal is gonna have so many problems and the ps3 motion controller does also but sony is still working on it

now read that over and think about it for a sec
the same thing with natal its still being worked on so stop being idoits and look at them both natal beats glow in the dark dildo

well im going to start off by saying that the sony motion control looks like a penis. with that out the way, we can begin. i believe that sonys motion control was not going to make an apperance at this years e3 i think that after seeing the xbox confrence, sony decided to present it in order to not be left behind. i also believed that if put in the right hands, natal will revolutionize gaming history. i believed that all three of the companies brought in new games that will please all of their fans, Im an xbox fan boy, but i have to admit that the new games for the ps3 do interest me and that i will be bringing my wii from underneth my bed to once again play it, its been a year since i played it.with that said , dont put up fan boy comments, this isnt about what system you love, its aobut who brought the goods at e3 and who didnt.
