E3 over and out
So what games are you exited? You may or may not get them. You may eventually just rent them, even pass over them or just flat out can't because you don't own the console/pc powerful enough or the portable, but what games interest you?

As for me it has to be

New Super Mario Bros Wii (Wii)
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Metroid other M (Wii)
Wii Sports Resort (Wii)
Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii)

Golden Sun DS (NDS)
Zelda Spirit Tracks (NDS)
Uncharted 2 Among Thieves (PS3)
Modern Warfare 2 (PS3 - X360 - PC)
The Last Guardian (PS3)

Heavy Rain (PS3)
God of War III (PS3)
Mod Nation Racer (PS3)
Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3 - X360)

Mass Effect 2 (X360 - PC)
Batman Arkham Asylum (PS3 - X360 - PC)
MAG (PS3)
Alan Wake (X360)


Don't have any other in mind, and i'll be updating once I remember.

I dunno, it looks a bit shit really. More like a gimmicky add-on than a must-have purchase but whatever floats your boat.

WAT? Just from the opening parachute sequence intro you can tell it's more polished than the first one, which was plenty of fun with friends and family. This is what Wii Sports would have been like if it wasn't a launch title (and had better motion controls of course).

Now that you mentioned Mafia!

I should play the first one because G.O.D. was a awesome publisher.

NATAL is a big thing for me. But I was so busy this week I did not get to see everything in E3 in terms of games.

Lost Planet 2 is awesome - Short Preview
Tatsunoko vs Capcom is surprisingly good - Short Preview
MAG is the next big FPS - Preview incoming. I find myself immersed into the game, there are a few problems that Sony needs to fix, tho. Crap I can say, that COD4 fans will be at home with this. Just not as fast, tho.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is just as crazy as the first one, more empathasis on combos, and deadly moves in this one than the first. Preview incoming.
God of War 3 is awesome. Just plain awesome - much faster, much responsive than the other two, more variety, too. Preview incoming.

And of course, I will buy the hell out of those Metal Gear games, because, I am a metal gear fan. And Modern Warfare 2 is SOOOO mine the first day its out.

I have the uncharted 2 beta code from standing in line for GOW3. Smile

How can you be excited for Natal and not care about the PS3 motion controllers? It was pretty clear that the PS3 controllers worked about a million times better than Natal.

You're capable of more things with the Natal then you are the PS3 motion controllers, which is a hybrid between the Eye Toy and Motion Plus.

Also Natal is further along than the PS3 controllers due to the fact that Burnout is already capable of using Natal and dev kits have already shipped to developers. People have already used Natal where no one has used the PS3 motion controllers.

Also PS3 sucks. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Natal is nice and all, but like Adam well said in his blog

The big deal surprise thing Microsoft threw out was Project Natal – which is essentially their controllerless, voice recognizing response to the Wii. A few applications of it have potential, I think, but the ones I liked the most were the more practical ones. Making voice calls and being able to pull up information from the web and share it while talking was cool. Pretending to kick a ball by kicking the air was less cool.



Thinking it over and over again, I just can't see how a controller less game can be fun. Except you looking like a giant douche in front of your TV. at least with the wiimote and ps3mote you can have something physical in your hands (and even more so with the analog stick on the ps3mote instead of the nunchuck like the wiimote)

What is the point of you two bickering. Joester will just like Natal for the sake of it being a Microsoft product, and Buu will hate on it because it is a Microsoft product. Why can't we just be united in hate against shitty waggle!

The only argument that makes more sense in that little explanation is the fact that Natal is farther along in development than the PS3 motion controllers. But that doesn't make it better.

The PS3 motion controllers are actually capable of one to one movement, the motion plus is not. The Natal tries to be a motion capture suit and voice recognizer thingy. How well has voice activated stuff worked in the past? And how many games are you going to really be able to play without buttons?

I'm not all down on the Natal, but I think the PS3 motion controllers have a lot more potential.

I don't think either device has real potential in videogames. Natal is more interesting as an interface device, you know like some Minority Report bullshit. It seems like something you'd see in one of those "Microsoft predicts the future" videos. The Sony thing (at least how they demoed it) is just a better Wii.

Yeah that's basically what I was talking about when I was talking about the more practical uses. And you're right, the Sony thing is basically a better Wii, but I can see that being fun for some things.

I really don't think it's like, the future of gaming with controllers going away or anything.

Sorry if I'm mistaken but did anyone on the n-philes staff actually play Natal?

Natal should also be capable of 1:1 movement. Going off of the videos.

Going off the videos there's a noticeable lag and seems to wack out a lot (like when that Microsoft douchebag was trying to show off his avatars feet and his arms were wigging the fuck out). I mean, compare Natal's painting demo to the PS3's ability to write very clearly and precisely.

Clearly neither are perfect, but I'd put money on Sony's being closer to perfect than Natal.

I hear Master Chief is single, or is he? Does he ever hook up with some in the Halo series? Did anyone actually pay attention to the story to notice?

Actually... he "dies" at the end of Halo 3. Then you find out he isn't dead and he's with Cortana in space. Weirder things have happened with A.I.'s so it's possible that he gets it on with here through some means.
