More Random Thoughts from E3
NBA 2k7 and NHL 2k7- Good News/BadNews: Good News is I heard a ton of great stuff about both games. I also got the chance to talk to the developers of both games. The bad news is I cant talk about it until late next week because of a NDA. I'll have a full article for you guys next friday.
Saints Row- I really dont know what to think of this game. It reminds a lot of GTA (it should since its made by the giuy who created it). The graphics are decent but when put up against the other 360 games it pales in comparion. I mlike the fighting and driving engines and the recruiting gang members features though.
Splinter Cell- Wow. Thats the only way I can describe it. This is perhaps one of the best looking 360 games I've seen. The only problem is for some reason Ubisoft is only letting VIPs and employees play the game (EA is doing the same thing for Superman Returns). The rest of us just have to watch.
Current Gen Madden and NCAA- Current gen NCAA is not being shown at all. EA is only showing its PC, 360, PSP and cell phone games at its booth. I played Madden over at the MS booth and its practically the same game as last year. The new superstar mode was not available in the E3 build.
I'm heading over to Sony and Nintendo now. I'm going to try nto find a way to sneak in and get a look at the Wii but I'll be damned if I wait 3 hours to do it.

More random thoughts-
I'm very dissapointed in a number of people. Here is the list:
The entire gamer community at E3 (including myself)- Ok I'm walking out of the Sony Booth when I notice that an entire section of the conference hall is packed with people. Gears of War? No. Halo? No. Playstation 3? No.....The reason for the traffic is Paris Hilton. She has some puzzle game coming out for cell phones and she was signing autographs. Not only was the line of autographs LONGER than the Wii line there were also a ton of people just standing and staring at her. So what did I do? Just what everyone else was doing...moving around trying to get a look at this chick. (My opinion: While I apprecaiate her porno..she's not that cute in person.) I'm so ashamed of myself. On another note...I watched a little bit of G4's E3 taping and those girls hold up in person...especially the new girl.
Nintendo Wii- Why am I dissapointed? Because I havent been able to see it yet. The line is longer then yesterday's line and there is no way in hell I'm wasting 3 yrs of my life waiting to get 5 min to play the Wii. After talking to a few people who did wait they said that Madden looks Madden on the Gamecube but that the use of the controller is a lot of fun.
Last but not least my biggest dissapointment is the bacon hot dog vendor is gone. This woman was here 3 yrs ago and served me perhaps the greatest hot dog known to man. This was probably one of the biggest things I was looking forward to and I found out that the people from E3 ran the outside vendors off so that they can charge you 10 bucks for a buger and some fries. When I find out who is responsible for this there will be hell to pay.
On to the games-
Fooled around with NCAA's franchise and everything is there that was in last year's game. The only difference is no SI covers. The awards, Player of the week and Heisman Watch are all there.
As for non sports games here are the ones that have impressed me the most in the last hour: God of War 2, Crackdown, Warhawk and Heavenly Sword.
I cant for the life of me figure out why Sony is showing the PS3 version of Madden. The game looks worse than the 360 version at theis point and I witnessed it crash 3 times (once while I was playing).
