I-Mockery At E3 2010 - The Electronics Entertainment Expo!

...CONTINUED


Ah yes... Alienware brand computers. Huge, impressive and overpriced as ever.


Aww.


Awwwwwwwwww!


Fans of The Sims geeking it up with their newfound headgear.


Sucks they didn't have Dead Space 2 available on the main floors so everybody could try it out.
I'm a big fan of the original and the sequel looks like it's not going to disappoint at all. Can't wait!


I used a high-speed camera to capture this shot of Sonic.


Watch out for that sword, lady.


At ease, soldier!


Can't reiterate how good the new Twisted Metal is. This game alone justifies purchasing a PS3.


SERIOUSLY.


Even with all the awesome things going on at E3, some people had to break away from it all to watch the World Cup.
I guess some people just can't get enough of the soothing sound produced by Vuvuzelas.


Here's hoping all fashion in the future comes with built-in lights.


Inside the Rock Band 3 booth. A lot of people were raving about it, and I do think it's a step in the
right direction, but as a musician, I'd like to see the strings run up the entire fretboard like a real guitar.
Still, at least people who spend an eternity playing this game can now learn how to play an instrument too. Spiffy!


It's either the new Sony "Move" motion control system, or this guy was trying to help guide a plane as it landed.


Hooray for my pal Edmund and Super Meat Boy!
Yo Edmund, next time you should actually be there to promote your game!


This game is definitely a must purchase, and the programmer (Tommy Refenes) was loving
watching everybody die countless times on the harder levels. Totally addicting gameplay
and it's a blast watching the replay of all your fails once you finally complete a level.


This is pretty much how we felt after we were done with E3.


Fortunately, Mr. Shark was waiting for us on a nearby side street outside.
There are few sights as majestic as a shark eating a burrito that he's holding in his hands.
I can think of no finer way to say goodbye to E3 this year.

And that pretty much does it for our joint coverage of the 2010 Electronics Entertainment Expo! Hope you guys enjoyed it all and have at least a handful o' new games that you're looking forward to playing. Be sure to share your thoughts about the expo and all the announcements that were made in the comments area below. See ya next year E3!

OMG, I want one of those stuffed chicks on the last page *bounces* And holy cow, do I remember the Pac-Man cereal *and* eating Pac-Man Pasta as a kid. And mmm, Umbrella Corp. mints. I'll have to find some of those.

Now that I'm done looking at the little details, thanks for the coverage, guys! Can't say as there were too many games I'm interested in myself but it never hurts to know what's out there. And yeah, I had a "Holy crap Battle Chess?!" moment seeing that pic, too. What system was that for? (And boo on poor deaths. That's what made that game!)

Most intrigued by FotNS, mostly because I'm a DW fangirl. Might check it out but it doesn't get me bouncy like the other Koei titles do when I hear they're being released.

Looks like you guys had a blast, though and thanks much for the article!

Serious question now. How much does it cost to get into E3 or is it still invite only? Glad you both had a good time, did you get a go on kinect? I do hope the tiger thing has a "rip your face off when you piss it off" option

I'm ecstatic about that new Twisted Metal game. Hell yeah! And I'm glad that Hokuto no Ken game is finally getting a US release. It's about time.

I'm still hoping there'll be time for Gene of God Hand to appear in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, though... I've kept my fingers crossed for so long, I think they're frozen that way by now.

of all the things at E3, sadly enough this year the big thing was the partnership between ESPN and Microsoft. I don't even like sports, but that's HUGE and a big kick to the dick to Sony/Nintendo. Oh and I tested out the Twisted Metal, fun, but WAY To Complicated to complete a task that could easily be done in 2 steps. I Really have no clue how I missed you at E3 wearing that hat.

There actually was a Fist of the North Star game on the Master System of all things, released here under the label Black Belt. It was remade under the 95% shovelware Sega Ages line on the PS2 and was given a Master System sequel as well. The IP is definitely overdue for a new entry, though, I agree.

I was working at a shelter during the day they showed E3 coverage (on my birthday, no less), but luckily I had set my DVR to record it. The footage from E3 was the best birthday gift ever. I'm looking forward to all these games.

The one I'm looking forward to most, though, is Heroes on the Move. Jak, Ratchet and Sly were my best friend's three favorite characters and he wanted a game that combined them; however, he died in an accident three years ago, so he didn't get to see his dream come true.

I bought the Gundemonium Collection. It's pretty good and decently tough.

I would've never expected to see a state-of-the-art controller made for this generation of videogames being a succesor to the damned Power Glove.
