E3 Best of Show?

I wasn't really impressed by any of them. Nintendo's was pretty disappointing really, Microsoft didn't have all that many huge announcements but did have some nice trailers to show, and Sony's was kinda lackluster overall with the only highlight being the showing of third party games.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Umm, pretty much all of that was expected. Considering they've had 2 years to prepare for a Wii presentation (honestly, what other console projects have they been working on in this time?), it was a bit disappointing that their focus seemed to be on an upgraded Gamecube game with different controls. Considering how so many people are complaining about a lack of original games, it's somewhat discouraging that every single game you listed except one is a sequel.

But really, Sony had a pretty lackluster presentation overall, so it's probably just a battle between the other two. I hear Sony's booth has some nice demos though, didn't someone talk about FFXIII being playable?

Most amazing jew boots

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What games are actually playable, though? So far I've heard WiiSports, Mario Galaxy, Zelda, FFXIII, Warhawk (?), and then all the games MS has up on Xbox Live (MotoGP 2006, Lost Planet, etc.). Anyone have a list of games that are on the show floor? Nintendo was saying they would have 27 or so.

How ya doing, buddy?

I thought the only worthwhile part of Sony's conference was the second half. The first half was just boring, how many racing games did they show?!? And GT4 in high definition...wtf, talk about a let down. "we think we'll be able to do even better than this game on the PS3", WELL I HOPE SO! Then the second half, they actually show decent games, announce the features and price, and love it or hate it, showed off the motion sensitive controller. If they could've made the first half of the presentation as good as the second, it would've been closer to Nintendo and Microsoft's (although I haven't seen Microsoft's actual presentation, but it sounds like they showed off a lot of games).

I was speaking idiomatically.
