  • Monkey Islands! Plural!

    I donno. I love the Monkey Island games but this new remake of the first one looks kinda ugly in places, and tbh I'd much rather just play the original for nostalgias sake. And the Telltale game? I donno, after MI3 there hasn't be a really good MI game, and I kinda doubt they can pull one off.

    I think I'll just go back and play the old ones instead [/grumpy]

  • E3 2009

    New Mario Galaxy? Thats pretty good, loved the first one. Also the archery thing and basket ball games in Wii Sports Resort looked like they could be decent fun.

    Apart from that? Jeez it was boring :G

  • E3 2009

    Its strange, they showed a lot of really cool stuff, but somehow none of it really made it a homerun for me. The Natal stuff was really cool, its for the Wii crowd and not for me, but cool enough. I LOVED the bit where he was showing off the Avatar with Natal, and wanted too show the underside of his shoes, and the Avatar just spasm'ed all over the place, comedy gold!

    The Kojima bit was kinda unexpected, although it would've been so much more impactful had it been last E3 . I bet the Raiden game is for the 360, and the PS3 will get a new Big Boss MGS (They gotta stay friendly with their sugar daddy Sony ). Even though he was finally kinda cool in MGS4, then I doubt having a full on game about him will bear fruit :G

    The beginning and end of the MW2 presentation were fucking epic! The middle, incredibly meh. And speaking of Epic, that entire presentation of their XBLA just had epic FAIL written all over it. I feel for them though, having both your microphone be fucked up AND have the collision betray you like that? Dayyymnee son!

    Forza 3 is probably gonna be ace. Couldn't tell that it was much better looking from the stream quality, but if its got better physics and more cars then its good. Played Forza 2 more than what was healthy for me

    Apart from that, Crackdown 2? Cool. Alan Wake? Meh. I'll play it, but seriously that game just needs to come out so they can start doing something new. Gameplay doesn't really look all that interesting from what I've seen, but who knows. And although Splinter Cell looked really cool (Much more Hitman'ish open level stuff?), then I'm just way too burned out on the franchise, baditude and stylish level objectives aren't gonna change that. And ODST? WTF? I figured it was gonna be like an add-on kinda thing for Halo 3, but it really didn't look like they bothered to put in any polish on what they showed off there. I certainly hope Bungie are spending their energy on something else. Left 4 Dead 2 is kinda early, but alright

    I also loved the bits where they were showing the home like "watch a movie with your friends....online" and you could just hear a fucking pin drop while there was no applause, what the hell did they expect? And the Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr appearance bit in the beginning was just sooo embarrassing, them just standing there not knowing what to say.

    Anyway, fell kinda flat overall for me even with all these pretty big time things revealed. I kinda hope Sony will outdo them, but I kinda doubt it also.

  • Left4Dead 2

    Heard rumors about it but I really didn't think they'd put out a new one just 1 year after the first one.

    Cash cow does come to mind, but I figure its much easier for them to put out a new Left4Dead than another episode of Half-Life 2, and considering how well the first one sold then its hardly surprising (although it still is! )

    ":1easfv5u]Why all the fuss about those 5 minutes?!?! It's only 5 minutes ffs!Amazing how a thread over a neogaf hit 20 pages in a few minutes, just because Microsoft decided to start 5 fucking minutes early... Jebus...

    Well there you go, even if they've got nothing special to show in those 5 minutes, then they've created headlines about it. Makes it seem like they have a more tightly packaged show, or something

  • Crysis 2

    TLDR

    Is it still jungle? I'd love to see Crytek trying something outside their comfort zone, its starting to get a little bit ridiculous with the jungles, even if they do look amazing.

    I would love to see a great 24 season (post season 5)... but that's neither here nor there...

    Beat me to it. I'm a tool tho, still watch it every time a new one is on :G

    Btw, anybody got any good ideas for where I can stream MS, Sony and Nintendo's conferences in good quality now that I'm not subscribing to Gamespot anymore?

  • EGM Back From The Dead

    Hah, how about that. Never really read it, but I have huge respect for what it was (mainly because of the guys at 1UP, which are awesome).

    I kinda hope it wont be print based media, because that's kinda what killed the magazine. They could make it EGM - Electronic Gaming Media
