E3 2009 Review Summary

Microsoft:

Project Natal seems like a neat idea. But the technology is unproven and how long will it take for 3rd party developers to make anything useful out of the accessory? Also, no price was given. Anything over $99 is not gonna fly, if you ask me.

I can't wait for Mass Effect 2.



Nintendo:

Another crappy, boring, pointless E3 keynote from Nintendo. Cammie Dunaway needs to go. Seriously. Anyway... Hey Nintendo - we get that you're trying to invent new ways for gamers to play. Now how about showing us freaking games? The time to talk is over. Put out.

Where are all the DSi games? Where's the new Zelda for Wii?

Metroid Other M may be interesting. Gonna have to wait and see how Team Ninja handles the license.

I'll stick to the tried and true games from Nintendo again. Mario Galaxy 2 & Zelda: Spirit Tracks.



Sony:

Keynote went on forever and ever. PSP Go looks way too small for comfort. Analog nub still sucks and is in an even worse place now.

Don't care about Final Fantasy XIV. Try actually showing us FF XIII first.

God of War III looks like a safe sequel. Don't mess with what works I guess.

The Last Guardian looks cool. I want this game.



Multi platform:

I'll probably buy Metal Gear Solid Rising no matter what, but I would have liked to see something more than a teaser. Kojima, you jerk.

The new Castlevania looks cool too.

The Beatles Rock Band. OMG. Yes. Want. Now.


I have high hopes for Batman Dark Asylum, but the Batman franchise is known for very shitty games. Have to wait and see...
