Quantcast



Here's a look at few more of the PS3/360 games of E3 09. Highlights include some time with God of War III, Left 4 Dead 2, and Project Cube; a really kick-ass looking Geometry Wars rip-off from Square-Enix that is not shy about throwing blood all over your face. Come to think of it, if measured by blood splatters per second, Project Cube was probably the most violent game at the show. I think I love it.

For the record, this will be the last E3 09 video recap I post. We do have a few video interviews coming up in the next few days, covering games like Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, Bit.Trip Core, The Grinder, and Gladiator A.D., but as for videos that try to condense six hour gaming sessions into 3 minute youtubes, this is the last of them.

The process of examining, uploading, and editing all this E3 09 footage (probably more than 20 hours worth) has left me totally desensitized to the whole event. Thats the bad news. The good news is, I now pretty much have all of E3 09 memorized. It's a beautiful thing. At the risk of sounding corny, E3 09 was a time in my life that I never want to forget.

Hit the jump for the final recap, and don't forget to wave goodbye to E3 09 for me.

Neither rain nor snow nor impromptu high five would stay that Clone Trooper from the swift completion of his appointed rounds.

Wait a second... clone troopers ARE space marines!!

My mind is blown.

blarg, you didnt like Dissidia? I've heard pretty good things :(

Oh well, the game would have probably had more legs if it was on one of the flagship systems.

That didn't have nearly enough Holmes close-ups as I had hoped. However, the games you looked over looked like bunches of fun. And that Phil Collins ending? Sheer brilliance.

Man, I wish I had a portable soundtrack that would play the Phil Collins drum solo whenever I wanted. :[

I personally don't like Phil Collins music, and it's pronounced Da-sid-dia. I love the high five part :D

and Jonathan :P

God, every time I check the comments on one of these, I expect to see a bunch of "you aren't funny anymore" comments, especially seeing as I was just informed that Mike Tyson also does the Phil Collins thing in The Hangover.

Thank you everyone for not hating me!

@ SephirothX- Don't get me wrong, I did like Dissidia. I just didn't like it as much as I should, considering this is an all-star Final Fantasy crossover fighting game we're talking about. After playing Soul Calibur PSP, which looked amazing and played amazingly, Dissidia looked cheap and clunky by comparison.

I'll still be buying it though. The gameplay wasn't immediately fun, but it was certainly interesting. I'm sure it will grow on me.
