About Me
About Me

Well, not too sure what to say really. I'm 21 years old, been gaming for almost as long as I can remember. My first game system was a Sega Genesis and I was completely obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog. Still am, despite his lack of good games nowadays.

I'm in college, just finished my junior year now. (YAY!) I'm an English Major, hoping to be a writer someday, no matter how lofty a goal that may be. I'm working on some books actually, most of them fantasy-style, but I'm also dabbling in the more realistic too.

Other than that, there's not much else to say. I know I make a lot of typos, I probably made a bunch up there as well. But yeah, hope to meet some cool people here and have some good times gaming.

Skies of Arcadia for the Dreamcast. It was my first RPG, I fell in love with it. I was kinda late on the RPG Bandwagon, but better late than never I suppose.

E3-Thoughts

So, I know that there will probably be a -ton- of posts like this one on the site from now until the end of E3, and I will probably get swept aside with all the rest, but even still, I figure it's worth a shot, see if anyone wants to see what I thought.

I didn't watch the Microsoft Conference just because I don't own an Xbox and don't really care about what they are doing. However, I was really intrigued by the "Milo" project. The idea of a virtual kid that read your tone of voice and see your facial expressions is a certainly interesting idea. However, I can't see this getting added to games without the game just having you say key words...I don't know, but it seems like it can't be much more than a tech demo.

I did watch the Nintendo one, and it seems like it was an improvement over last year's. At least they had some games that we actually cared about this time, not just Wii Music. the Motion plus seems interesting, but I hope it's not too expensive to buy, that would be such a pain in my wallet. I don't know how I feel about the new Metroid...Samus is talking? But, Mario Galaxy 2 (Despite looking almost identical to the original) Seems excting and worth playing, and the New Super Mario Bros. Wii looks like Mario + Four Swords, so hopefully that will be fun too.

One thing that Nintendo seemed to tone back on was the casual games. However, their presence was still clear as day. There's nothing wrong with casual stuff, the problem comes with having them at E3. The people who will be playing these games ARE NOT watching E3, so stop showing them. :)

Lastly, I watched only part of the Sony Conference, because life did its best to get in the way, but I saw a few games. Uncharted 2 looks lots of fun, like an action movie. God of War 3 looks like a glorified Beat-em-up, but I haven't played the others (Yet, they are on my list) so I can't say for sure. Sony has it's own WiiMote now, and it looks somewhat impressive, the 1-to-1 tracking was very accurate judging from the videos. However, it's a blatant WiiMote, so I don't know if it'll ever take off.

I still miss Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter...Hopefully they come back soon. :D

And, that's my rant.

Good impressions. I would have preferred the Milo "game" to be Seaman instead cause little kids scare me but maybe Sega has something left up their sleeve. I think if this tech is used with an RPG like Oblivion it would really be awesome. I'm fine with Nintendo talking up the casual market as they are their biggest money-maker right now. They did a good job of making us not feel so neglected, but they need to work on their presentation skills (very cold and rehearsed). And Sony delivered on the goods. I think I'm more excited for the PSP Go then anything else (after Uncharted 2 of course). They are riping-off the Wiimotes but since they are actually working as advertised I'm not going to hate them too much. Everyone just needs to get the motion controllers out on the market so we can put worrying about Wii copy-cats behind us and move the industry forward.
