So yeah, anyone got anything they're really looking forward to? Anyone got any problems with any of the conferences? Let's talk about it. Personally, I'm really hyped up for Lego City: Undercover. I'm not really into Lego games but this one just looks awesome. It's got this light hearted corny vibe that I love seeing in video games. Not to mention it's an open world Lego game and that's pretty damn sweet.

Ubisoft's Watch Dogs seemed to steal the show a bit, for now there isn't much I'm following too closely besides looking at what's going on with All Stars Racing Transformed, still got a backlog of games to get at

Missed out on quite a bit because of other distractions - but had to look into Watch Dogs since my social networking sites were just blowin' up with rants and raves about it.
I must say, it looks intriguing.

I was really hoping Sony would announce a xperia play 2 with a analog stick, or a Wii U version of majoras mask like this


Niether tho...Microsoft using phones/tablets as a 2nd display/controller was cool.

Well. Much like last year's E3, 2012's wasn't much different. We didn't get much new content and we weren't surprised by a whole lot. We got a confirmation on a bunch of titles that were said to come out. The Tomb Raider presentation, same as last year, was a short and sweet one, going straight to the point and not revealing too much of the game at this point.

Nintendo's conference was a let down, with their only relevant title being Pikmin 3 and the faked colloquial dialog. They weren't able to pull that off, even with Reggie "And, yes, my body was ready" - however amazing that moment was. Ubisoft was quite an amazing conference, Aisha is extremely entertaining to watch and listen to, and they did the right thing by getting a YouTuber into the mix (in this case, Tobuscus). They showed some pretty undisclosed stuff, nothing too beaten, so it was good. Watch Dogs did well, it did. ZombieU had a very good trailer.

As for the other conferences, Microsoft's was a mere gadget and app show (don't get me wrong, I loved all that, but, in all honesty? Games would be nice) with some games by the end. The only thing I saw of the Sony conference was Dead Space 3. And that was a complete letdown. The previous Dead Space atmosphere is lost and, by what we were show, it's a bog-standard 3PS, right now.

That's about it, I think. It was a good show simply because E3 is a good show, with a bunch of people that we all love, to talk about the things that we all love. But, same as last year, I don't think anyone that's been keeping half an eye open would be any surprised. And that's a bit sad, in my opinion.
