The Hidden Gems of E3

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the keep-your-eyes-peeled dept.

WarpSource writes "Most people including me are excited to see what Twilight Princess has to offer, read more about Spore and possibly Halo 3 at E3 2006. Yet there are so many other games at the show besides the "big name titles". An article at Silconera mentions some of the lesser known games that deserve attention, like a Wii flight simulator, an online rollerblading music rhythm game and Dragon Quest Rocket Slime."

    Hidden gems? Why are Tabula Rasa and Yakuza on this list? If you haven't heard of either title you probably didn't care about E3 to begin with. And why even have the honorable mentions if, as the author stated, "...most people attending the event probably have them on their to see list"? That means they're not hidden. The other games on the list aren't really what I would consider "gems" let alone worth even mentioning. Come one, Slashdot...where's the "Stuff that matters."?

  2. Katamari Damacy by saboola · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This brings up a really good point. I wanna say E3 2004 they showed Katamari Damacy at E3 to very little fanfare and it ended up being one of the breakout hits of that E3. A lot of the time the titles you have never heard of going into the show are the ones that really impress.
