I don't know what it is about video games, but I love them. And E3 is no exception. E3 is the one event every summer that drowns away my pains of the torture of working. And it never ceases to amaze me. So, what do I expect this year from E3? The following list is what I predict will happen:

1.Bungie's "other" Halo game will put the wowz! on us- Yes, most people are sick of Halo, Master Chief, Sergeant Johnson, and the rest of the gang, but in all seriousness, Halo has a good storyline. And a huge expanded universe. From what the rumortoid has said on here, the next game could be a tactical shooter cross between Gears and Ghost Recon. Both of my favorite games making a baby? Awesome! It will be not focused on the Chief, because he's off on retirement with Cortana. Or perhaps this will serve as a prequel leading up to the events (before, during, or after) Halo Wars. If Bungie can nail this game just right, besides making another FPS*cough *cough Halo 4? then I will check the next game out regardless of what everyone will say about milking the franchise.

2.There will be one game this year that stands out from the rest that none of us know about. I don't know what game it is yet, but they might reveal it at E3 this year. And it will be the hit of the whole entire conference. I'm not ignoring Fallout 3, Fable 2, or any other great titles like that, but come on developers. Make us want to drop our money on the table for this new IP. Also, any announcement from Bioware *cough *cough Mass Effect 2! would be nice too!

3.Sony will impress us this year. Despite me liking only the PS2 in the Sony family, I think Sony might turn it around this year. They will bring some games out that show off their graphical muscle. Maybe even a definite buy for this Christmas. I am not going to ever get a PS3 in all honesty, but they are going through redemption. And that means that Microsoft and Nintendo need to step it up a lot if they want to keep the consumers pleased. I'm not trashing completely on any one company, but they will all be very competitive this year due to the fact that this year and last were the generations that software mattered the most.


4.Too Human won't let us down? The demo is going to be released in a matter of hours as soon as I post this. I am going to stay up for a while until it's released. Right now, no new demos on the marketplace, but I'm waiting. Or I'll download it first thing this morning. I'm way too excited to sleep, but I have dumb work in the morning. Video Games are much more important than work.(in my opinion!) Anyways, yes the demo will be released, everyone will play it, but I do believe in Dennis and Silicon Knights. They worked hard to incubate this baby and it will prove it's worth when we test drive it later today!

5.Nintendo will keep playing the "family friendly" game. They will more titles accompanying Mario and the gang, and quite possibly more. Maybe a remake (I'm hoping it's a Wii Gen Starfox, but done old-school). Or possibly a tactical shooter combo with the Star Fox Franchise. I would get a Wii for that.......

Followup:
Those are my predictions for E3. Whatever your taste in gaming, I'm sure E3 won't disappoint. The heavy hitters of the big 3 will dish out their greatest games (Halo, Resistance 2, Mario) for the money in our wallets. And for our enjoyment mainly.

Feel free to comment on my post. I'd like to see what others will predict over E3. WOOT!
