E3 2010

Christmas for gamers.

This year has been great for gaming, great titles released almost every month. We've had Mass Effect 2, Bad Company 2, Heavy Rain, God Of War 3 and so much more. Now E3 has rolled around raining down games upon us. There's still a day and a half left but I wanted to just quickly summarize how I feel about it so far.

So, it started off with the Microsoft conference and boy oh boy, what a disaster that was. It started off alright with all the expected games from Microsoft. Your Gears Of War 3, your Halo: Reach, and your Call Of Duty: Black Ops. It went down hill from there.

Microsoft focused solely on Natal, now re-branded as "Kinect", for the remainder of the show. As expected, most all of the games that were shown for it were targeted at a "casual" and not at the people sitting in the crowd that morning. Fittness games, a Wii sports clone, some dancing games, and some other things that I wasn't personally interested in.

I would go into more detail but I've already popped a vein in my eye for staring at the screen for too long. I'll continue what I though of E3 tomorrow, and also my thoughts on Metro 2033 ( a fantastic game btw)
