Here's a thread to post your thoughts on what you are seeing at E3 this year outside of the three keynote speeches. At the time I write this, it's pretty much just EA and some scattered trailer premiers, but there's surely more coming by the hour.

I missed Arkham City, to my chagrin. However, I have to say that Bioshock Infinite looked great, as did Skyrim, even though I'm not likely to start my Elder Scrolls adventures now that I never have before.

Also, knowing that "Li'l Wayne plays FIFA" makes me want the new game. Obviously.

Overstrike looks great. I'm a big fan of the talented men and women over at Insomniac Games. I will keep an eye on that one. Also moderately pumped for Arkham City and Bioshock Infinite. I've never been an Elder Scrolls fan, so.... right.

The games I'm looking forward to seeing the most tomorrow are Uncharted 3, Torchlight 2, Street Fighter X Tekken, and (if the rumors are true) God of War 4. Yes, I know that two of those are probably considered to be part of "the big three." So sue me.

One thing I really noticed was the huge difference in graphics. Now, I was never someone who said that graphics should have an impact on how much you liked the game, but to be honest, with how fantastic some of these games have looked, I can't NOT appreciate the detail and everything that went into these games.

And then a few games, like the Star Wars games, their graphics seemed to pale in comparison. The characters had noticeably more jagged edges, though a friend mentioned that might have been something to do with the clone wars series.

Either way, I was impressed by that and the styles, if nothing else!

I'm not sure how I feel about a lot of the games so far. The demos were cool, but I'll ahve to see a bit more to say whether or not I'll be getting them! As it is, I'm not really buying a lot of games lately :s


I'm actually interested in all the Kinect stuff. I have faith in it. I had a lot of fun with motion-sensor Wii stuff for a good 45 minutes, after all.

You're telling me that there's no hope.

I'm telling you you're wrong.

Any time I see BF3 I feel like they need to put an asterisk next to the video and tell us what that is actually running on. I have no doubt that it will be capable of looking that good but I want to know what it'll look like on my POS machine
