So it's E3 time, and we here at Blast Heroes are having a hard time covering the big event.
You see, while there will be tons of cool games being shown at the big show, how many will we really REAALLY get jazzed for? Jazzed as in hyped, as in "I want to stay up all night playing this game then the next day at school, draw pictures of the game's weapons in the margins of my class notes".
Microsoft had a great conference today with the usual suspects on display.
There were plenty of plastic toys getting rolled-out (Tony Hawk: Ride, The Beatles: Rock Band) and enough gruff soldiers shooting baddies in the face to induce a trillion intergalactic space-boners.
Microsoft finally showed off their long-rumored motion-control interface, Project Natal, and it was surprisingly not horrible looking. On the contrary it actually looks really fun.
All in all, it was a great show, but I must say I was very disappointed that their wasn't a XBOX Live Arcade segment in Microsoft's presser. No, they save that for the luncheon afterwards.
Joystiq has the scoop on 2009's Summer of Arcade lineup, and although it doesn't looks as impressive as last years legendary roster of summer XBLA games, there is still plenty to get excited about.
Sony and Nintendo showcase their wares next. Stay tuned for more E3 commentary, live from our home computers in Middle America!
Isn't the internet grand?
