Highlights

InFamous is an interesting PS3 exclusive, a standard superhero wannabe game, with a very rich looking setting, not sure how this one will turn out, as the only gameplayish looking clips I've seen so far, are one of the protagonist climbing a light post and another involving the use of some "psiops" esque powers, but whatever eh, I'll just keep it on my radar.

Echochrome
Wow my brain died when I saw this game in action, imagine one of those weird Mc Esher like pieces, and then imagine placing a puzzle game over it, where the only control you seem to have is to rotate the camera to solve them...but I digress just run over to Kotaku for a few images of this gameWeb link.

Killzone 2
Real nice looking graphics, not quite up the quality of the original trailer (as to be expected) but lookin better than a lot on the market (see Halo 3). However, After my initial hype at seeing it in action wore off, the excitement for this title died down quickly. You see, while it's a pretty girl, nothing substantial was show in the gameplay to dethrone my current TOP Fps (Half-Life 2), but all being said it still has a while off and we'll see how exaclty this PS3 Prime shooter does against the big guns (ooo accidental bad pun).

Downfalls

Metal Gear Solid 4...
Now I know a lot of the Fanboys are gonna jump on my case about this one, but really, show us some frickin gameplay already Konami. Granted that Duel between ***** and **** at the end was pretty cool (saving you the spoiler if you haven't already seen it) but the trailer did nothing more for me than to reveal that X character and X character were in the game, and that the graphics which Hideo seems so proud of, weren't looking so hot against the current crop of Graphic monsters. While I am a Big Metal Gear fan and will probably borrow/buy/steal a Ps3 for a chance to play this game, it doesn't exactly have me salivating right now. Hopefully TGS will set me straight.

PSN home
Sony tried to make Funny by doing a bit of acting in the PSN "Home" world but it kinda fell flat, this is how it went,Blah blah blah, virtual avatars in a virtual world eating Soy burgers,Kaz pokes fun at himself wit the old "Ridgee Raccccerr" joke,blah blah etc. nah this didn't get me, Neither does the whole concept of PSN Home. Not only does it look ridiculously cheesy like a bad Sims ripoff, but I can't see how this is going to add to my overall gaming experience as yet. Isn't it about time we take a step away from all the fluff* and hoopla surrounding "Next Gen" and focus on creating new gameplay possibilities?

*Granted this isn't half as bad as the two chunks of plastic Nintendo is hucking around these days, Yes, i'm looking at you Regginator... Wiiblaster my hernia.

New StarWars BattleFront Game on PSP
"ZOMGZ, CHewbacca! with a Darth Vader THemed PSP playing Battlfront 2!!" Wtf...please Sony, we know that a lot of gamers are big StarWars fanboys, but even they would have enough pride to notice that bringing Chewie onstage was a weak attempt to cash in on Starwars, to push the PSP handheld (now with a TV out, mind you..............lame).

One big thing that got me throughout the presentation was Sony announcing games such as Assasin's Creed as "Exclusive" to the PS3 console, which made no sense, as a lot of the games were shown just hours before at the Microsoft Presser as coming this year to the 360. Blame it on oversight, bad speech writers or simply, Sony tries to pull smoke n' mirrors and hope no one notices, but it really stood out as a weird moment for me.


In closing, despite all my criticisms of the Sony presser, I've gotta hand it to em, as while it wasn't incredible by any stretch, it was still the best presser of E3 07, showing off a few interesting new titles, whilst highlighting their current crop of games, they managed to keep me interestd. Besides the little Faux-Mtv Awards style presentation was a lot more energetic than the competition's.
