<div class="IPBDescription">maybe its just me?</div>Is it just me, or has this year's E3 been kinda.... bleh?
No shocking new game announcements...
No games to salivate over...
No unexpected news or other suprises...
Hell even the booth babes this year are sub par.
I think perhaps the unveiling of all three next gen systems before E3 even started has something to do with this, but still it can't be just that.

So many games have been visually astounding, be it Gears of War, UT2K7, Killzone 2, Heavenly Sword or Condemned, and the next generation of consoles has most definately filled me with excitement.
I guess there's no big "surprises" as such, as we all saw the featured games coming and we all know of the next wave of console's arrival, but damn, the future looks pretty good as far as gaming goes, and E3, so far, has most definately not been a disappointment.

Hey, it's still more legible than some people achieve whilst sober. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Despite being alcohol induced, couldn't say it better myself.
I have higher hope for this year than I did last, being that the PS3 is coming(and will break the 360, imho).
The release of NS:S?? or NS2??

I'll believe that NS has hit the big time when Flayra speaks at an E3 keynote. Don't you have some sort of PR function Zunni? Make that happen.
Quake 4
Quake Wars
X-Men Legends II
(getting the bias out of the way first <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
Then we have (in no particular order):
Xbox360
Revolution
PS3
Gears of War
Ghost Recon 3
King Kong
New Brothers in Arms
Destroy All Humans
Prey
That Insomniac shooter that looked really cool
Call of Duty 2
Serious Sam 2
Shadow of the Colossus
F.E.A.R.
Hellgate London
Dawn of War: Winter Assault
Alan Wake
LOTR Online
AOE 3
Spore
UT2K7
Zelda
and plenty more that I'm itching for, but don't feel like listing. These are just the ones that I'm immediately interested in - it's a safe bet I'll end up owning -all- of these. There's just so much stuff that people are doing right all across the board. Very exciting time. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Advance wars: Dual Strike.
WIN WIN WIN!
*edit* oh how the hell did I forget quake 4, quake its the best game ever (next to doom ;p) <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And all of those were revealed before E3, which is what I'm talkin about. The days before E3 were more exciting than the actual event has been so far.
Last day of E3... and Valve reveales it's plans for HL3 to be high def VR
Hmm.
FALLOUT 3
Oh, wait a minute.
Quake Wars is also very awesome looking.
Revolution's going to kick everything and everybody square in the balls.
Quake 4's coming out.
Gears of War looks orgasmic. First FPS I've seen in a while with totally badass looking enemies. Sure, Painkiller had some cool ones, but damn...
And there's that redone FFVII intro. Sad that there won't be a remake of FFVII with those graphics, but it's still an awesome demo. Besides, if they did remake it they'd probably have some very mismatched voice actor read from a morphed script now that it's Square-Enix and not Squaresoft.
Sonic Gems for Gamecube (Finally I can play Sonic CD...)
But, of course, the best announcement this year...
MegaMan X Collection! It's only the <i>good</i> MegaMan X games IIRC (X-X6), along with some other obscure MegaMan games.

/me waves.
Yah, I would be proof of that.
As for ontopic, I am tossing all of the 360/PS3/N:R news in with E3, and I am thus happy <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Also, it mafe work that much more fun b/c I had G4 running the E3 footage when ever I was there (yay for DVR, boo for stupid hosts!)

The Unreal 3 games <i>look</i> cool, but gameplay wise there isnt anything new (that we are aware of) that excites me.
Oooh yeah and Spore! Im looking forward to that too, although i hope it doesnt turn out to be another black and white.
