E3

[Phoenix Gamma]

New Metroid looks totally fantastic (Adam Malkovich?! Woah, talk about paying attention to the lore! And the gameplay is amazing!), and the two Mario games are looking to be really, really fun. Glad to see Yoshi making a comeback in both games, along with New Mario's propeller and penguin suits! This is gonna be an awesome 12 months.

Oh! And Nintendo's announcement of Golden Sun 3 was a real surprise. Way to bring that franchise back from the dead.

Sony's conference was also amazing, but way too long. Uncharted 2 looks to be really exciting, and the PSP is finally getting actual games. The lineup for both systems is really big, so I definitely think Sony won E3 hands down.

Microsoft's show disappointed me. Natal looks interesting, but I hear there were developers inputting stuff during the closed-door demos, which makes me wonder how much that Milo kid was doing on his own. I think L4D2 is coming way too soon, but overall I guess it was an okay show.

Fantastic E3 this year.
