E3 Game Line-Ups - Part Two

More companies are announcing their line-up for E3, and one of the most interesting rosters comes from Capcom, who now have an E3 preview page up on their site. Highlights include Resident Evil: Outbreak (the online Resident Evil for Playstation 2) and Onimusha Blade Warriors (more of a fighting game?), as well as other new Maximo and Onimusha titles, though sadly there are no screenshots available there. Also announcing their product line-up are Eidos Interactive, whose press release mentions Thief and Deus Ex: Invisible War from the Spector-headed Ion Storm, plus interesting Legacy Of Kain and Tomb Raider sequels. Finally, a preliminary list of E3 titles bundled out of Sony Europe by Eurogamer includes Gran Turismo 4, Syphon Filter: Omega Strain, Eye Toy (using your Playstation 2 plus a camera add-on), Ratchet and Clank und Jak and Daxter sequels, and plenty more. Excited yet?

Re:How are we suppose to keep up?

Yeah I think if you want to keep up with each and every cool game that's out, you have to have a lot of freetime, a lot of money, and be focused on video games near to the point of slight autism. I have a nice growing stack of PC games going now, and if I'm lucky I'll get to play each game once a week for like 4 hours, with a few games getting 2 and 3 days of play. But there are too many good games out now to keep up with them all. I think you gotta just latch onto a game or a few games for awhile, enjoy them, and smack yourself if you get the urge to get the latest hot game. Of if you're not a masochist you can just tell yourself don't buy new games. Going outside helps too, and now that summer is around the corner hopefully I can get away from the games for awhile.

A little for everyone

No one goes out and buys every single game (well... some do, but its rare). In fact, I only have a gamecube and a PC. Seeing as I have a wife and child, I rarely have the opportunity to fork over $50, and rarely have an opportunity to enjoy the game (like after my son goes to sleep).

However, I do like certain types of games. I'm really looking forward to the new Thief game. That will probably be my next purchase, and after that I'll pick up Deus Ex 2 (if I have the hardware to run it). That should last me the rest of the year. This past year was spent with metroid (and recently, Zelda). I've mentioned 4 games I've played in the past while. I guess most wouldn't consider me much a gamer anymore, but I still enjoy games and get excited when new ones come out.

So, I guess, what I'm saying is just to filter out everything except the ones that really interest you. Don't look and wish you could play them all. You can't. Just look for the ones you would enjoy.
