E3 - First Day Shows Multitude Of New Games

Thanks to Eurogamer for its in-depth E3 coverage, as well as GameDaily's detailed write-ups and Ferrago's similarly wide-ranging coverage, as they add to previously-mentioned gaming websites covering the E3 Expo in Los Angeles. Highlights of the first day include hands-on impressions of Conker: Live and Reloaded for Xbox, a seriously in-depth Half-Life 2 interview, some first impressions of Myst IV, confirmation that Sega's signing of The Matrix Online was their 'big announcement', though Phantasy Star Universe was also announced, the list of songs for Donkey Konga, and a hands-on look at Final Fantasy XII. What other software are you most impressed by?

Slashdot Bias Against Halo2? Or What?

[mindhaze]

What is this... Halo 2... slated to likely be The, no, make that THE, game of the year, is completely ignored on Slashdot. Just because we're computer games does NOT mean we don't play consoles. I mean, come on... if it's not a PC shooter, it's not good? BS!

What am I impressed about? A number of things.

1) Halo 2's multi-player direct feed video. It looks amazing. Halo 2 is going to rock, for sure!

2) Microsoft's press conference video. Microsoft is doing some amazing stuff in software, and the fact that they put their whole press release online is just great. More companies need to do this!

3) EA has finally grown a brain, and signed up with Xbox live!

4) Oh yeah... Microsoft's XNA technology looks AMAZING. It will seriously revolutionize gaming, probably on the same level as DirectX.

THAT'S what _I'M_ impressed about. Get over the PC shooters... Xbox is the way.

Has anyone posted the biggest lamer of E3 yet?

[Mike Hawk]

Biggest lamer ever. I look at that and you can stop trying to tell me Nintendo isn't for children. Is that a grown man or a 6 year old girl?
