This is just a quick post to let everyone who is joining Giant Bomb and wants to add me, my username is Jotun.

So right after Nintendo's snoozefest it was Sony's turn. I think the overall look of the presentation was pretty cool and the littlebigplanet presentation was the most original way I've seen a company talk about boring stats. I think they could have gone without the entirety of the PS2 section as well as skimmed the PSN and PSP sections as well. That would have given the presentation a bit more flow.

The games they showed were pretty cool looking. Resistance 2 changed from a "meh" from me to a "Oh wow, I must play this game!". Hopefully they do something about the camera bob when the character walks, it really needs it because it looks rather mechanical the way it is. Infamous, LBP, GoW3 are reasons enough to be excited to own a PS3 in the coming months and years.

They also announced the new on-demand movie and TV download service. I thought it was a good choice but I was worried about how long it would take them to launch the damn thing (Home anyone?) but to my surprise it was available the night of the conference. Now there's a surprise!

While the announcements were kind of predictable and the presentation dragged on in some spots, I feel Sony has come a long way from the "Massive damage to giant enemy crabs" disaster and has some genuinely compelling stuff lined up for PS3 owners.

I'm sorry but they've lost me.

Animal Crossing looks great but it isn't the "hardcore game" that was going to win us real gamers back. I guess my Wii will serve as my Gamecube and virtual console machine from now on.

I kind of take this as a giant slap in the face of everyone who helped make Nintendo what it is today. All for more market share and money. I hope you're happy Nintendo, I really do.

Grade: D

Some people just don't have opinions. Like firebird23.
firebird23 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could firebird23 possibly have for not rating a single film?
