I'm a huge gamer, so I thought it was important to talk about the E3 in my blog. E3 is the biggest videogame exposition. Every year, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft announce their upcoming products and during the week, people can test them. This year was a very important E3, because Sony and Nintendo showcased their new consoles, the Nintendo Wii and the Sony PlayStation 3. Both consoles are playable and all I can say is, you can count on me to be camping in front of a Best Buy for a Nintendo Wii the day it launches. The Wii will reinvent gaming, by making the controller in the shape of a remote and instead of aiming, stearing, piloting with an analog stick, users just have to move the remote. Almost like a virtual reality machine. In my opinion, Nintendo definately delivered. A huge surprise from Nintendo was the announcement of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the third installment in the Smash Bros. franchise. They released a trailer, and in it, we see....Solid Snake. Yes, Snake will be a playable character and I can't wait to see what other third party characters Nintendo will be able to offer. I also liked what Sony showed with the PS3, however, the 500$-600$ price tag turned me off. I am no longer considering buying it at launch, maybe when the price lowers. Even then, it will depend what games are available for the system. As for Microsoft, they announced some cool games, including Halo3! Can't wait to play that one as well. But the 2007 date showed at the end of the trailer was a bit deceiving, but understandable.This week is a pretty busy week because classes are coming to an end, so I must prepare for the final evaluations. I had the time to work a bit on Prehistorik. Music and voices are coming in slowly but surely, and I can't wait to start animating the whole episode. More as it unfolds my friends.
