If there is one time in gaming that i am excited for that would be for E3. I am always excited to see whats coming out for Microsoft and Nintendo. So My countdown on Monday was awesome until the actual moment when Gamespot started to brodcast the live Microsoft show and all it was for me was a white screen. I refreshed and refreshed but still nothing. SO i had to go to IGN where the audio was choppy but it worked and no video which bittered me. Then i found Gametrailers.com where you could watch a minute of the video and then stop and you had to refresh the screen. I was so angry.
So i watched the brodcast on Tuesday on Gamespot which worked and i must say I was super excited for what Microsoft is doing. Modern Day Warfare 2 Stole the show. Thats going to be an amazing game and I can't wait for November. But I must say that I was in awe when i saw Project NATAL!!!!!! I watched that bit several times. I showed my son and my wife. The only thing that i could compare it too is a Star Trek Holodeck program. WOW. That was amazing how the girl interacted with Milo.
So I couldn't wait for the Nintendo show because I am also a big Nintendo fan. So my countdown was on and the exact same thing happened where it was a white Screen. Again super bitter. But i went to Gametrailers.com again and there was no issue with that site this time. Nintendo put on the worst show that i have ever seen. It was so dissapointing. There was really nothing that was exciting about the show. It was borring and no big announcements. A very casual approach to the biggest gamming convention of the year.
I didnt realize that the Sony show was on after the Nintendo disaster so i had to wait until today to watch it. It was good they had some big announcements and their Wii remote knockoff is looking way better then what the Wii has done. MAG is looking so fantastic I couldn't believe it. I didn't know anything about that game until this morning. Imagine 256 players all at once????
My final thoughts are that Modern Day Warfare 2 stole the show and then MAG looks liek a pant load of fun. As for innovation PROJECT NATAL was incredible. Well onto the Tokoyo game show and then anticipte some awesome releases this year and then E3 2010. Thats it for now.
