    That and (I know this is a pc forum) but if we are talking games, then Infamous 2. The first one is the only single player I can honestly say that I played more than once. I played it somewhere around 4 times all the way through. Very satisfying game. Check it out if you have a ps3

    I'd like a better look at Heroes VI if they're bothering to showcase it at E3, but it's quite close to release by then so I'm not hopeful.

    Either download blueprints of the convention center and do a mission impossible through the air ducts, or buy a Nintendo shirt, stick a badge on it with your picture and hope for the best

    This except BF 3 for Deus Ex: Human Revolutions and Guild Wars 2.

    LOL!!! :D That could work...

    In all seriousness, E3 is invite-only and it is 95% Press Staff only kind of event.

    E3 is purely a press event now, I think they've opened up again to a few number of gamers or walk ins but generally if your part of a publication for games then you will be extended an invite.

    Word of the street is most games being shown this year are FPS games, which by looking at gametrailers seems to be the case. The new Kojima Fox engine looks great and apparently their is an HD collectiong for the Metal Gear Solid Series coming out, sooooo hyped. Im also hoping to see some footage for ME3, and I also wanted to see what Nintendo has cooking for its next gen system.

    Games that I'm looking forward to see:
    - Phantasy Star Online 2 (unsure if it will make its face)
    - New Command & Conquer (unsure if it will make its face)
    - BF3
    - Diablo III
    - Heroes of Might & Magic VI
    - New Star Wars MMO

    Hmm, I think that's all I'm looking forward to seeing.

    Microsoft right now, they're doing some cool stuff with the system. I'm getting pretty stoked for EA's segment though. ME3 and BF3 baby.

    MS Press conference was a total shame. NO ONE applauded ( almost no one ) at Kudo ( the same fail guy from E3 '09 with its kinect fail ).

    Round up : Kinect games sucked again, Halo 4 announced, ME3 DLC coming first to XBOX, GoW3 looked cool.

    Wasn't EA Press Conference be at 19:30 GMT? Argh...

    Anyway, MW3 was showed, was pretty nice. AA12 is full auto, G18, AK74, P90 and MP5 are back. Pretty much the same as last year's demo though : stealthly plant a bomb, breach, kill, retrieve info, kill, drive the boat, escape.

    Dont forget Mass Effect 3 on Xbox 360 is "Kinect enhanced". :3
    I dont care if i gotta wait for a while with the DLC.

    Superior GFX < Lame a** DLC and Kinect

    I actually got a Kinect myself, and i do feel the "lag" on the Kinect only games.
    Looking forward to Forza 4, it uses Kinect for headtracking and i think thats the only thing its good for in a DRIVING!!! game.

    Also whos the enemy in Halo 4?
    Dident you PWN the flood + make fun of the Covenant in Halo 3. lololol

    Wow... More reasons for me to NOT get a X360. Also good news that the graphics requirements won't be high if they really still aiming the game at the console platform first.

    Also, I found Kinect-support for ME 3 ridiculous. Like do you expect to literally cover and shoot a gun when I play with body motion?

    Wow... M$, you really screwed up on this one... :rolleyes:

    As I said : Kinect is ruining gaming. It's kiddyfying all games that use kinect ( except ME3 ). Just look at Disney game... /facepalm. The presenters, Kudo, was clapping, but wasn't supported... How sad and fail... xD

    Thats one of the rare moments being a Hater is cool.
    Kinect works best as a addon to the regular controller, not as a dedicated controller.
    Next ME3 trailer you see Shepard replaced with a funky looking avatar doing the chicken dance, while also recording the failure in real life. :D
    Il thumbs up to that! lol

    I like the idea of the new NFS game, but seems like its going to be very linear and the handling seems clunky.

    Kinect and Move became a big disappointment. What a shocker... :rolleyes:

    Remember Microsoft and Sony saying that these technologies would change gaming forever?

    Anyone noticed how huge the desert was for the tank battle? :D

    Edit: Is it me or did BF3 got a earlier release date? and I like how they were pointing all the sticks to MW3, but I guess they got what it takes.
