E3 '10 -- Sony

So what was Sony showing off at it's e3 pressy?

How about a brand new Twisted Metal? It was actually the last thing they showed but I think it's the first on everybody's minds- the graphics actually aren't all the impressive but I'm going to guess that's because it's still go a little to go in development world.

You can check out the trailer here.

Sony also played up the Move- no surprise there -as well as talking about the new inFAMOUS, Little BIG Planet 2, Portal 2 (!), and the new Sly Cooper Collection (think GoW collection, but with no new game coming behind it). They also intro'd Playstation Plus- which is the long dreaded PSN pay service. If you're not looking to get 'inside stuff' though, don't sweat it- you'll do just fine without Plus.

Read on for the official word and a bunch of other stuff. No PSP2 though : (


E3 '10 -- Nintendo

Nintendo's press event was the star of the show so far. What swept me off my feet? 3DS. Period.

The successor to the DS is beautiful, it has a larger top screen that can display three-dimensional imagery that can be graduated to suit your preferrence, a bottom touch screen, a camera that can take 3-D pics, can play 3-D movies (no word on implementation yet) and a lineup of games that, if most are available at launch, might just be the most impressive launch lineup in history. Take a look at just a few of them:
  • Kid Icarus (!)
  • Mario Kart
  • Pilotwings (!)
  • Star Fox
  • Paper Mario
  • Resident Evil Revelations
  • Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater (!)
  • Super Street fighter IV
  • Madden
  • Assassins Creed
And that wasn't all from the Big N. There's a brand new Zelda, a new 2-D Kirby, Donkey Kong Country (!), and (drumroll) Goldeneye!

Read on true believer...

E3 '10 -- Microsoft Press Conference

There were a few surprises today at the MS Brief. The chief among them being that 'Natal' is now 'Kinect', and that the speculated Xbox 360 'lite' is a reality. The lite has all the stuff that the regular 360 has, but it adds built in wi-fi (you're probably saying something like: the 360 should have had this since the start- but what's nice here is that it's wireless 'N'. Very nice indeed.), a built-in HD, and a special port for the aforementioned Kinect. Regular 360's will need a seperate power adapter for the camera system.

Two cool things here: it's going to cost the same as the current Elite unit, aaaand it'll be in stores at the end of the week.

There's tons of stuff after the break about the briefing with plenty about Kinect- enjoy
