E3 2009 was the first E3 I’ve ever been to. It both met my expectations but at the same time I felt as if I was missing something. By the second day of the show I had seen all I needed to see. I didn’t get to attend any of the press conferences (which I watched at a local bar) and part of me wishes I would have stayed at work and watched them over the interwebs.

Part of the problem is that I wasn’t surprised or disappointed by the games at E3. The games I thought would be awesome going into the show, were exactly that, awesome. The games I thought looked like crap, were crap. For instance, I’d have to say that God of War 3 was the game of the show. I knew that when I walked up to the booth, it would play just as well or better than the previous God Of Wars. I also knew that MAG was going to be sluggish (although the 256 players was impressive).

So without going into to much depth I’ll quickly run down what I thought was good and bad about some of the games at the show. Again, can’t say enough good things about God of War 3. Batman: Arkham Asylum’s combat felt great but a little weary about all the detective gameplay, still going to buy it though. Uncharted 2’s multiplayer was one of the surprises at the show. It played well and didn’t feel like a tacked on experience at all. Beatles: Rock Band was hawt and the new instruments feel great. Brutal Legend was all kinds of awesome. Nintendo didn’t do anything to impress me and I grow tired of them.

Ok no more room on this page. Huge website updates coming soon. So if it I don’t post for a week or so tough shit. :p
