About Me
Hey, I'm Martin, though the internet knows me as Dragonzigg
Unlike many self-confessed gamers, I'm not a lifelong fan, in fact I was barred from playing videogames til I was about 13. Unfortunately, I think this had the opposite effect to what was intended, instead simply making me more obsessed with games. Since then it's been impossible for me to get enogh of them, and I'd happily call myself a super hardcore gamer. No matter when it was made, what it is or for what platform I'll play it, unless it's Madden. I'm also from Tea-and-Crumpets land, aka Britain, and thus have got used to waiting twice as long and paying twice as much for my games. Nevertheless, I've managed to scrape together an Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, 2 DS's, PSP, Dreamcast, Megadrive and a gaming PC. Told you I was serious.
What else do people put in these things? Oh yes, I'm a masochist, aka a Sonic fan. Yes I know there hasn't been anything good in a decade. I love adventure and platform games, while I'm not so hot on driving and RTS games, though I'll try anything once. I love good stories and characters in my games, and have no problems wading through a tidal wave of cliche. Proof? I love JRPGs, especially Kingdom Hearts. Don't think anybody can question my nerd credentials there.
Will this do?

OK, so just before E3 I made a series of predictions about what would/might/wouldn't happen. Let's go back and see how far off base I was.
Things that were definitely going to happen 
Sony announces PSP Go - Hardly needed a rocket scientist to figure this one out and it was actually confirmed before the show got underway. CORRECT! Nintendo hypes the hell out of MotionPlus - There definitely was another extensive Wii Sports Resort demo, but Nintendo didn't show any third-party titles that involved the peripheral, and the three new Nintendo games revealed all seemed to be MotionPlus free. WRONG! Microsoft announces motion-sensing camera - Again, quite an easy one, although the software that was shown turned out to not just be 'crappy family friendly casual games' but some interesting and exciting stuff. CORRECT! Sony and Microsoft go head-to-head on software - Definitely true, although the titles I picked were off. Heavy Rain didn't appear at the press conference at all, neither did Mass Effect 2, and Assassin's Creed II actually appeared at Sony's press conference when I called it for Microsoft's. Also, nothing shown of The Ballad of Gay Tony. The Beatles:Rock Band to be playable and a show stealer - Mostly correct, although Harmonix didn't reveal a full tracklist. But it was a big sensation, and there certainly were Beatles appearances galore. CORRECT! Something to appear out of nowhere and blow us away - This did of course happen, as it always does. For me, Final Fantasy XIV took the surprise of the show award, with Metroid:Other M close behind. CORRECT! Things that potentially could have happened 
Nintendo makes partial return to the hardcore - Very much so, with Nintendo debuting several titles for gamers. The WIP of Zelda was so in-progress it only appeared as a piece of art, but Metroid:Other M and Super Mario Galaxy 2 filled the gap admirably. CORRECT! Sony show 'Project Trico' - I predicted that this would be held until TGS, which was of course totally wrong. The Last Guardian as we now know it, wowed the crowds and almost certainly wold have stolen the show had it not been for the leak. WRONG! Final Fantasy Versus XIII breaks cover, goes multiplatform - Oh dear. Kind of missed that one. WRONG! Kojima unveils new Metal Gear, goes multiplatform - Yup, spot on. I also correctly predicted he'd show more than one game, borne out by the three Metal Gears and also his involvement with Castlevania:Lord of Shadows. CORRECT! Alan Wake returns, is substantially different - It definitely returned, although whether you'd call the differences 'substantial' is up to personal opinion. I'll give myself the benefit of the doubt on this one. CORRECT! Things that probably weren't going to happen 
PS3 price cut/PS3 Slim announcement - Sure enough, no sign of either. CORRECT! Zune HD integrating with XBLA titles - Apart from the eponymous marketplace coming to Xbox 360, no mention was made of Zune. CORRECT! DSi Virtual console featuring GB/GBA games A lot of people thought this was a dead cert, and it'll probably still happen at some point, but for now not a whimper. CORRECT! Beyond Good and Evil 2 shown - I wish this one had been wrong. CORRECT! Duke Nukem Forever revived - Looks like we'll have to make jokes about Huxley now. CORRECT! Final Fantasy VII remake announced - Admit it, in a dark shameful corner of your heart, you want it to happen. CORRECT! These games are shown - I was doing fine until I said 'any Metroid title'. D'oh.WRONG!
