So fare after the watching all the press conferences here is what i the great and all mighty sparky the dog think about E3 so far. First the winner so far is Sony. Many games and new innovative ideas coming from them. Where yes microsoft did have that camera motion recognition thing. it does not excite me. Its asking me to put way to much movement into games and it takes away one of the main reasons i play games which is to assume the role of another person. i dont want me in a game. And that interactive boy thing just leaves me with too many question such as what happens if ye dont play that game for a week? Will the boy get mad at ye and then not want to play anymore? that would make ye game obsolete and a big waste of money. and on top of all that its just creepy.
Nintendo i love ye but why the hell would ye tell me the same thing ye told me last year. stop talking about that d**n wii-mote add on that does what ye promised the wiimote would do in the first place and just release it already stop wasting my time telling me about it over and over again.

I concur with the Nintendo comments -- it's been a big pile of nothing (except for the new Mario game (not Galaxy 2, the other one)).

im ewxcited for mario galaxy 2 mainly because of yoshi. as for the other one i think the game will only be good if they have online play. nintendo has been having a problem of not utilizing the online play in alot of their games. the fact that they didnt say anything about it being online scares me to believe it wont be.

Nintendo announced officially that New Super Mario Bros Wii wouldn't have online play, ( kotaku.com/5278060/no-online-play-for-new-super-mario-bros ) which, to me, makes the whole d**n thing worthless. NSMB was a fine DS game, if not a tad too easy, but whats the point of having four player multi with no online play? C'mon Nintendo, wake up. To be fair though, I think that Nintendo just doesn't know how to throw a press-conference event like E3. I mean, hell, if they showed more of The Grinder, or No More Heroes 2, or Cursed Mountain, or Silent Hill: Shattered Memories or...you know what I mean? Except for Metroid: Other M, all their best stuff has been hidden from the presser. As for me, I think Microsoft took the show. Natal has so many more possibilities than Sony's Wiimotes, and c'mon, the whole goal of the industry since the beginning has to get people closer to the game. Why do you think graphics are continually being pushed toward photorealism? Microsoft's lineup also (with the notable exceptions of HALO titles) seems more interesting to me. I know that's a preferential, but nothing Sony presented 'WOWed' me. That said, ModNation Racers = t3h win.

the natal is getting to far in to make me like the games and honestly if that is where gaming is going to be 10 years from now i dont want to be a gamer anymore. Natal requires too much physical movement far too much for what i like to exert when i play a game. natal is just a gimic that microsoft is using to try to get the non gamers. infact the only people i know that like it are those of ye that dont care much for sony to begin with. me however was much more excited about the games that sony announced than that of microsoft the only thing im looking forward to is left 4 dead 2. much more promise from sony in my opinion

I'm glad to know that we might not just be sitting on our asses 10 years from now playing Gears of War 19 or God of war 27. It is time to face facts: the video game industry is stale. Even now, all we're really getting is variations of Halo; guys in magic suits of armor fighting aliens/robots/sentient bugs. And guess what, I may not agree with most of what Nintendo is doing, but they're right. That 5% of the population that was the gaming market before, was shrinking every year as people realized that there was nothing new to experience.
I hate causal gaming. Really I do, but only because so many companies are taking advantage of the fact that most causal gamers bought a Wii cause every media outlet on the planet said they needed one. It's easy to release six dozen Carnival Games clones cause you only have to have like, seven people on the dev team and you make a profit of 400%.
But I'm excited to think that someday I might be playing Legend of Zelda, and facing down a monster three stories taller than me, or that when I play Silent Hill I can get really scared by the experience.
On a similar note, Sparky, I've noticed the only people who think Sony's showing was better than Microsofts are people who already drift towards the Sony brand.
Sony had a good showing, no question, but their highlights were...what? 256 player multi, God of War 3, and Wii controllers?
That said, I am ALL over ModNation Racers. Wouldn't make me buy the system though, if I didn't already have one.

As this thread is entitled "Sparky's E3 thoughts" I am not going to argue a point which is based solely off your own opinion.
In my opinion, you are incorrect. And depending on which point is being argued, popular opinion disagrees with you as well.
Also, personally, I am less than enthralled by Left4Dead 2. The decision to make it in daylight. It didn't do any favors for Resident Evil 5, and I can't see it making a positive difference here.

I never bother with E3 as I only own one console and I can't afford any games anyway =P But I did see the trailers for the Wii game Muramasa: The Demon Blade and it actually look REALLY nice. It seems the development team behind it has realized that the Wii isn't built for 3D and thus focused on making the 2D awesome instead =)
I was also exited to know that there's a new series of Monkey Island games coming for the Wii... though I wish those guys would have realized that 3D is NOT what MI needs... (Guybrush looks like a retard) Had they instead made it in the style of Curse of Monkey Island I would have been all over those games =P As they are I'm not even gonna get them... but it's still nice to see that LucasArts haven't completely forgotten the series. (Still nurses naïve hopes that they will make a 5th game to conclude the original series.)
I haven't seen anything of that Sony and Microsoft are offering since as much as I'd want a PS3 right now I can't afford it... least of all considering I'd need a new TV to play it as well... I mean what's the need for the HD resolution if I don't have a TV that can support it.
The Xbox has never interested me... all I recently wanted was to play Star Ocean 4 and that I have at a friend's place. Good game though far from as good as SO2: The Second Story.

Scribblenauts (a DS game by the people who made Drawn to Life) was given lots of buzz at E3. In it, you write a noun and that object will appear in the game to help you solve puzzles. I think this video will explain why it can just be plain fun.
