Great E3 Moments

[Dameon Angell]

Alright, so E3 wasn't close to the former self it was, but there were good things that came out of it. Metal Gear 4 is exclusive to the PS3 still. Resident Evil 5 is ramping up. Nintendo is doing .... stuff ..... yeah.

So, what is the best part? Probably this group of critics and developers playing Rock Band for the Xbox 360.

Nintendo did fairly well, even though I am disappointed that the only information on Smash Brothers Brawl we got was the date, which is fine but I was hoping more information will be revealed. Things are looking good for Nintendo, and I am excited. The games they showed (Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, Metriod Prime 3 Corruption) were amazing, and simply cannot wait for them. I am skeptical about Wii fit.

Microsoft did good, Halo 3 looks awesome. PS3, I did not pay much antention to it, besides the fact the price is down 100 dollars, which isn't going to do much.

Actually, I heard that sales went way up after they lowered the price.

Until supplies of the 60GB version run out, that is. Sony announced that they're discontinuing that edition, after having already eliminated the 20GB edition. This price drop is only a strategy to get rid of their stock of the earlier editions. After that point, the only new systems will be the 80GB version, marked at the higher price. Of course, sales haven't been going well for them up to this point, so they have plenty of 60GB stock left, so this lower price point should be available for a few months,

And with the price job they're still losing what, $900 or $1000 bucks on each one sold :turned:

[Troll King]

Not quite that much. And if they've switched to using software emulation instead of the pricier chips they started off with for backward compatibility, that will cut their losses some.

DA, Borat on the drums

Can someone tell my how Halo is good? I've tried both games and to me they are just subpar first person shooters but apparently they are really popular.

And I can't honestly say I want MGS4. The motherfucker should direct movies instead of games, you can really see he wants to. Why are there more cutscenes than actual gameplay?

[Dameon Angell]

Halo is considered one of the best, because it has no competition on the Xbox. Now Gears of War hit for the 360, people are now starting to see the flaws.

[Liquid Blue]

Halo was critically acclaimed because it was the first popular FPS since Goldeneye to hit consoles (and no Perfect Dark didn't make a huge splash). The learning curve was easy and alot of frat jocks had Xboxes so it was also easy to get a bunch of people together and play large games of it while drinking. This is all in terms of multiplayer of course, because singleplayer Halo was horrible. Halo 2 wasn't much better in terms of single player, and I personally hate the art direction for the game, at least in terms of the Covenant. The Halo series is really popular because of the multiplayer, and because (before GoW) it was considered to look good.

I'm personally waiting for Left 4 Dead and Army of Two. I'll still try out Halo 3 (Halo 2 co-op isn't too bad...for a Halo game), but I won't be buying it the first day or anything ridiculous like that.

Am I the only one left on earth that absolutley loathes FPS games on a console? You spend more time fighting the control instead of the enemy. You simply cannot give the player an equally good interface to play with on console as you can with a computer.

I gave my best friend a total package subscription to gamespot, so we saw most of E3 live. I was amazed by the games they showed off there, it's going to be a good year for gamers!

Of all the games I saw, Crysis was the one who completley shocked me. Check it out.

you can get acceptable control, more than enough to enjoy the game. FPS's these days are suffering from lack of originality more than anything- especially control scheme.
