E3 2008

The last two days have been really exciting for anybody or anyone who is intoeverything video games, knows that the last 2 days have been the beginning of E3 which is the largest video game convention in the world. It used to be open to the public but you needed a ticket, but now it is just invite only. =(

Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony have had their press conferences which I saw on TV, and they were pretty awesome. Microsoft unveiled a system update for the Xbox Dashboard, making it 100% more awesome than before. Sony talked about mainly new games that were coming to it's system. Nintendo talked about new Wii games like a new Wii Sports game and such. I have to say, I was vastly disappointed with all of these though. Sony, not so much because I don't have a PS3, therefore, I do not care. I want a new Legend of Zelda game. WHERE IS IT. It's been 2 years since the last one. Does Nintendo seriously think this one won't get boring after a while? The update for Microsoft looks inventive, but it also looks really stale. It's more boring than the one they have now. They are making avatars for XBL accounts, like the Wii. It's ironic because they were making fun of the Wii for forgetting about hardcore gamers like myself. Avatars Microsoft, really? Microsoft showed gameplay footage of Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, and Resident Evil 5, along with Fable 2. Those were nice and all, but what about that new Halo game people were ranting about?

A pretty cool announcement was a new GTA game for the DS. I'm a little skeptic about it. Portable GTA has been tried on the Gameboy Advanced and that was a fail and a half.

Sony talked about boring new classics coming to PS3 gave yet another anoucment of Home being late. Home is another rip off from the Wii Avatars, because Sony and Microsoft can't get anymore original than before.

On a worse note, I got my lower braces today. They are uncomfortable and hurt like a biznatch.
