So, the new-look E3 is over and video game journalists across the land are fighting through the hangover and sleep-deprived haze to bring us their personal accounts.
Although most are complaining that the new format meant they were unable to get to get to see all the games on offer, there is still a deluge of videos, interviews and other info flying into our grubby, appreciative hands.
Amongst the innumerable sci-fi shooters (Haze, Halo 3, Killzone 2, Crysis, Call of Duty 4; the list goes on), a few titles stood out from the crowd. The Medal of Honour team have steered sharply away from doing yet another on-rails WWII shooter, and look to have come up trumps with a more free-roaming war experience.
Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway could boast the best action, graphics, AI, sound and music of any WWII game ever. Whether this has come at a time when interest in WWII games has already waned, I guess only time will tell.
Little Big Planet seemed to strike a chord with a lot of journalists due to its easy-to-use level designer – content will be created mostly by PS3 owners and shared through the Playstation Network.
My personal favourite upcoming games:
- BiA: HH
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- Assassin’s Creed
- Mass Effect
- The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
What are you most looking forward to?
