The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

And Everything Else In Between

E3 2008 Summary (Archieved Blog Post)

Microsoft:
Good showing of games that gamers will actually get this year. Which included a live showing of Fable 2, Gears 2, and Resident Evil 5. The show continued with the new dashboard being shown. It looks awesome. After which a partnership between Netflix and Microsoft was announced giving live members access to over 10000 movies and TV shows along with the already large database. Then we get annoying stuff like at the movies, and lips that lowers the score. But then the huge bomb Final Fantasy 13 coming to Xbox 360. Great showing.

Overall: B+

Sony:
Started off strong with some games, but honestly same old song and dance. Littlebigplanet and infamous continued to look awesome but otherwise colored me unimpressed. Some trailers from Resistance 2, and that's about it for ps3 other than montage shown at the end. A God of War III trailer was also shown but it was literally 10 seconds with no actual gameplay. Some new PSP and PSN games were announced but nothing that got me excited. Bottom line Sony continues to say that its the year of the PS3 but to me its the same old system the one that will eventually have games but never does.

Overall: C-

Nintendo:
No new interesting games, no storage fix, and Animal Crossing is the flagship title for hardcore players. Well fuck. A quick summary below.

Overall Grade: F- (See me after class)

Finally: This penny arcade pretty sums up E3 08'
