E3 = Underway

So, after a seemingly long day of school (due to over-enthusiastic excitement), I finally got home and checked out Gamespot right away. I had to dry my keyboard off from drooling all over it (Just kidding, but not really).

There are a few things I must express my mind about, because I can't keep all this bundled up inside. I'm actually wishing I hadn't started writing this, because there are still videos on there that I want to see! If I make a lot of spelling errors, my apologies because I'm typing extremely fast so I'm bound to miss a few mistakes here and there. It'll still be readable, but I digress.

So, I get home and start up my computer. The first thing I check is the list of games coming out for the consoles and handhelds. So I think I'll start here (I'm going to be organized with this... You know me. LEGEND TIME!):

Sony
Nintendo
Microsoft

Okay, so, let's get down to business here. The games overall were kind of impressive, but it wasn't anything that I wasn't expecting. Some new franchises are here finally, and some games that I've wanted made are being made. Let's start with my favourite, Nintendo.

Nintendo - Some games that jumped out at me when I first got to the site were probably Paper Mario, Star Fox DS (one that I've been waiting for for a while), new Zelda: Twilight Princess videos and a gameplay demo and a new game Red Steel, which I finally got to see in motion. It looks pretty awesome. Sword fights are going to be so much fun! Insane. Also, the controller got a few changes. I like the speaker idea, and how they introduced it now so that Sony wouldn't copy that idea, too.

Microsoft - Nothing special. The only thing people really wanted to see was Halo 3. Guess what, they got their wish. But now that the X-Box 360 is already out, all you really saw were game trailers and such.

Sony - So, uh, Sony... You going to do a second Conference and show how you just added speakers to your new controller? Or are you going to change the name of your console entirely? I can picture it now: The Us! The "U" stands for "You", meaning you'll be playing the system. The "S" stands for super, or "So our idea!". Don't forget the exclaimation mark! That symbolizes how much "fun" we'll have on your console!
Seriously though, saying you've added gyroscopes to your controller at the end of your conference only shows how last minute this was put into play. Also, it looks stupid. For those who haven't seen it, the guy showing the demonstration looked like the biggest tard on the planet. He was literally moving his whole arm with the tilting of his hand. I was laughing my head off. Now you guys must think "Well, you don't look any cooler playing with your Wii!", but that's where you're wrong. The Wii controller uses both your hands and had everything in mind, so you can move your hands anywhere. Thus, you don't look like a moron holding onto your gyroscopic controller that uses both hands. That's a waste of fingers there. About six of your fingers are being used to hold onto your piece of lightweight crap. Hey! At least it'll be easier to throw your controller across the room! Thanks for keeping me in mind! =)

That's all for now. I'm pretty excited to hear some opinions on the games and how good the Wii controller feels. For now, I am out.

P.S. (No pun intended) I'll most likely be talking about E3 for a while. Don't worry, the second installment of my ranting thingy will be posted sooner than you think.
