One of those announcements came from Microsoft. They announced a new sleeker version of the Xbox 360. It is all black, with a 250 GB hard drive, and built in wi-fi. It comes in at about $300, which I think is a pretty good deal. The system looks very slick and sexy. I found myself salivating over the announcement of this new 360, especially since it is shipping this week. I can't wait to get my hands on this puppy.
Another bit of big news came from Sony, when they unveiled Portal 2 for the PS3. Now for those of you who don't know the developers of Portal, Valve, has publicly spoken against the PS3. So it was a huge surprise when GLaDOS' voice came from the speakers. Gabe Newell even acknowledge the fact that in the past he has dissed the PS3. Still this is very good news for the PS3, this means that it is catching up with the Xbox 360. One day it could be on equal footing with the 360.
Finally as far as Nintendo goes, if you're a fan girl/boy there were a lot of exciting announcements. Such a brand new Zelda, new Donkey Kong, and a new yarn themed Kirby. All of these games and more should satisfy the fans for awhile. Although these games had me chopping at the bit what really got me was the official unveiling of the 3DS. The 3DS is a new handheld the offers complete 3D gameplay, without glasses. Now that's a big one.
With all the announcements the game that I was most excited to see was Star Wars: Old Republic. This new Star Wars game is an MMO developed by Bioware, this game is poised to topple the Goliath that is World of Warcraft. And I can't wait to play this game into the wee hours of the night.
How about you guys are there any games that you are excited about? Or are you just tired of all the E3 news?
