I really need to work on my blog titles.

E3 has got my juices following again for video games, I have been in a state of 'mild interest' since about February but owning a PS3 that refuses to connect to the internet and a PSP will do that to a person.

Looks moodily into the distance

During the Microsoft conference the first thing that made my ears prick up like a squirrel in a Nutella factory was Halo 3: ODST (not sure of the need to call it Halo 3) but more so the teaser trailer for Halo Reach. It made the fanboy in me cry out with unrivaled joyous tears! I'd happily marry Master Chief so long as he took off his MJOLNIR armour off in bed. Notice though it isn't called Halo 3: Reach? Perhaps this is a sequel to Halo Wars or something new altogether. My excuses for not getting a 360 are running thin now with 4 Halo titles.

Next up was Nintendo. I'll sum up their whole conference this this sentence. "Waffle, waffle, Mario, waffle, waffle, non-gamers, waffle, waffle, sales".

Sack Boy, the greatest video game mascot?

Now Sony's was the one I was looking forward to the most. 2009 already had a very strong line up for the PSP. I always felt the PSP was Sony's bastard child which they neglected. At least now they're feeling guilty about missing all of the Portables birthdays and only visiting one weekend a month. We knew Little Big Planet was coming but seeing it action was believing. Also Assassins Creed and MGS: Peace Walker (the true sequel to MGS 3 *suspicious glare*) were the surprises that made me drool the most.
