This years Electronic Entertainment Expo was this past week and naturally a shitload of new games and related information was announced. The most interesting in my opinion was the news on the Nintendo Wii and Sony’s PS3. The Wii is cool, the way you interact with the system feels new and very natural. The downside is that most Nintendo games have these cute characters in their game, it’s ok for some games, but for golf, tennis, etc. it looks goofy and it’s just plain wrong.
I don’t really know what to say about the PS3. I guess €599 says it all and Mr. Kutaragi stating that it’s “probably too cheap” just seems like a joke. I wonder what the pricetag will say when it hits Denmark. Ah, what do I care, I’ve always been a xbox fanboy anyway, and my Xbox 360 is keeping me entertained just fine 😉
Microsoft did, as I expected, have the best and most entertaining press conference, and most importantly presented a gameplay demo of Gears of War and announced Halo 3. What more can I ask of them 🙂
If you feel like watching the three console makers’ press conferences, Gamespot has some decent feeds. I don’t know about the low quality feeds, but the high quality feeds are nice, but I think they are only available to subscribers.
So with all this news in the gaming world I have been in a gaming mood all week. But with no time on my hands I didn’t get to play until the weekend, so I kinda wasted a bit too much time on it I guess. I finally finished Condemned, the last level was scary! And I’ve completed Call Of Duty 2 for the second time, this time on Veteran level, which mean I gained my first 1000 gamerscore on one game 😀
Right now seems like a good time ordering a new game. I just wish Gears of War was out now!
