Mmmm….beer…

Ok no beer, I am at work afterall. But instead of beer, how bout a small dose of gaming? I thought you’d like that.

Hope you had a chance to check out the E3 site posted before – but let me get one thing straight. E3 is no longer the debaucherous, intense, cutthroat bonanza it used to be. Now, its subdued, with no real buzz being generated, in fact, I think I recognized every game being displayed. That should NEVER happen. There may have been a few that slipped through the cracks, but it’s nothing like the barrage of E3 goodness we were used. Oh, and in the early 90’s when it was really picking up steam in Vegas, it was paired with the porn convention.  Talk about cutting back on transportation costs…

Check this from Will Wright’s newest enterprise, which, if his track record says anything, could change the gaming industry. Get a free trial of the creator here and take a look around the official site since the NPR interview really didn’t give you too good a look at the ACTUAL game.

Now what I don’t understand is this preview from Gamespot. I think I would rather Microsoft work on fixing the bugs in Xbox live, create more downloadable content, and pump out some new games, since well, Microsoft studio really has slacked lately. I was in Gamefly Queue the other day and there just isn’t that much to get excited about until October. Granted, Soul Caliber IV could be great (and comes out tomorrow,) I’m itching for more, especially as PS3 only title Metal Gear Solid 4 is tearing it up right now. Only time will tell how the fall-early winter releases look, but as of right now there isn’t much new to be excited about for the remainder of the summer.

Til the evening pholks…
