It came From E3: Games (Part 2)

Xbox 360:
Too Human

It looks like a decent game, but I'm kinda getting tired of the good/bad character thing. I really don't feel the need to "become my enemy" I just want to kick their axe.

Viva Pinata

Now this is a game I can get excited about! Something original, albeit kiddie, but original. Cool concept, decent graphics, unique gameplay. Other than the overbearing primary colours i can't really complain. Looks like it will test the "next-gen" markets.

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway

That's in-game footage! Looks like the new BiA is set to give CoD a run for it's money. I'm not a fan of controlling your allies, but with those emotional "brotherhood" moments I can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Call of Duty 3

Rather disapointed by this trailer. It's all pre-render and seems like they're saying the only reason to pick it up is the fact the previous games were good. Apparently the Canadian forces are going to be included, so that's pretty cool. I'll play it for sure, but I will need to see more before I even think of buying it.

Blue Dragon

This game looks like a blast. Story and design from the same guy that made Dragon Ball Z, and some rather cool gameplay mechanics. You'll be able to make your own attacks using a move creator. This looks like a pretty decent game and with funding from MS Game studios you know they won't skimp on features.

Splinter Cell: Double Agent

I caught a developer interview with it and apparently there will be a huge element of morality in the game. While I lately find it irritating the way they've done it seems great. You're going to be given 2 sets of tasks every mission, one for the good guys and one for your terrorists. The trick is doing them both to prevent blowing your cover. They're trying to make the game more accesible for n00bs, which is a good thing, but the coolest addition is a more in-depth multiplayer.

Crackdown

At first you may think it's just a GTA ripoff, but they're doing some really cool things with it. You're actually a sort of superhuman that upgrades as you play, gaining stats based on activity (ala Fable/Oblivion/Dungeon Seige). You can also download your friend's characters and "absorb" them for a short while, gaining some of their stats. It'll be 100% co-op compatable from the beginning. It looks like it will be alot of fun, especially with their crazy achievement system. They're using all 100 and making really weird ones, like rocket juggling and farthest fall leaderboards. Some really weird stuff that will provide hours of entertainment, or frustration.

Alan Wake

You can't sleep. That's the game. It'll likely play like a survival horror, but I'd like a demo before I pass judgement.

Play Station 3
Killzone 2

Pre-render again (sigh). i'd really like to see something real from Sony. I want to believe, I really do. I tis a nice pre-render though. Will it ba a Halo killer? Likely not, just like it's predecessor.

Devil May Cry 4

Dante's back and he still kicks ass. Not much revealed about the game, but I'm guessing it'll be hard.

Tekken 6

This game answers the question, yes fighting games can be gorgeous without lots of jubblies on screen. Will it play as well as DoA3, we'll see, but hopes are high.

Wii
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves

This is the perfect game for the Wiimote, all the past games have been amazing and this one looks to add a fun new element to it with the motion sensor. You'll really be seeing some crazy stuff from this game, a must have for Wii adopters, day 1.

Red Steel

Violence, in a Nintendo game?! Well, not really. Thee's no gore in it, but I won't be complaining, motion sensor sword fights! Looks like it'll be a hit for the system, expect online play to be huge.

Sonic: Wildfire

The last pages of 1001 Arabian Nights have gone missing and it's up to Sonic to complete the book again. Using the Wiimote as a scooter-like steering wheel you'll guide sonic as he perpetually sprints, jumps, spin dashes and all that other good stuff. Anyone else feeling a Sega revitalization?

Sadness

This looks like an amazing game, all in Black and White, great story line, full motion video. It looks like it will play like next-gen Space Ace. A game story fans will really be able to get into.

Nintendo DS
Starfox DS

Who doesn't like Falco? Who doesn't hate Slippy? See, Nintendo does know how to evoke emotion. The portable version of the classic better include Live, and voice chat. Because that'd make it good.

Yoshi's Island 2

The princess got a stab at her own title, why not give everyone's favourite saddle-backed dino another shot? The last game was great, and this looks to mirror the fun the last game had.

Diddy Kong Racing DS

Hard to tell whether this will bbe just another MarioKart, but this game was great on the N64. Let's hope it takes a similar approach as MarioKart, combining old levels with a bunch of new ones. Friend Code play is a must, but I hope they include voice chat, something MKDS was seriously lacking.
