Need for Speed felt and looked great. No one should be surprised since it’s Criterion developed.
Limbo was getting some much deserved attention. It seems like they managed to make something more than an art game and I can’t wait to play it, alone, in the dark and at 2am.
I didn’t go hands on with Epic Mickey but its mechanics looked very solid. If they can deliver on the storytelling front I think Mickey might be the start of a new franchise.
I’m so glad Codemasters was handed F1 2010. The move away from sterile Gran Turismo graphics is much appreciated and as always, Codemasters vehicle dynamics are top notch.
Although the look and feel of Marvel vs Capcom 3 hasn’t quite gelled yet, I can’t wait to mash buttons and Icebeam the hell out of everyone.
Scott Pilgrim wasn’t as rock solid as I expected but it has a very good chance of being the best movie tie in ever.
Resident Evil 5, PS3 Move edition. This was a shitty version of both Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition.
Speaking of the PS3 Move, it’s just a bad WiiMote. While the new Zelda game was drawing 2 hour lines, I was able to play any Move game I wanted with no wait. Sony is going to have to do better.
Kirby: Epic Yarn. I hate ‘Epic’ ’s prevalence in the mesosphere but Yarn totally deserves it. Based on it’s ability to turn a cynic into a 5 year old, Kirby’s sense of wonder gets my game of the show award.
NBA Jam actually looks fun, Goldeneye does not.
I wonder if anyone realized that Medal of Honor is just Frostbite re-skinned. Didn’t play it, not very interested.
Sony’s 3D TV stuff is terrible. The technology simply isn’t ready for primetime. There is a very noticeable 2-3 stop decrease in the brightness of the picture once your 3D glasses are on to the point where it becomes difficult to see anything at all. Combine that with a price tag of $150 per pair of 3D glasses, and the fact that you can’t move from the ideal viewing are or tilt your head at all- this particular technology is dead in the water. Only rich assholes who also bought laserdisc are going to pick this shit up.
