What are my favorite games of E3?

We all got a lot of the coverage so what is your favorites and disappointments of E3? Here is mine.

I been on duty so I couldn’t blog but been thinking about the announcements Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo has made and there is a whole lot I am impressed with. My list have must have games has instantly grown. I watched both Sony and Microsoft’s press conferences and this is what I thought. Microsoft came away with an impressive better line-up of exclusives. Dead Rising 3 is a pretty big deal I consider. The last two games are great and its taking great advantage of the hardware for massive amount of zombies. I came away surprised that Insomanic had something exclusive to the Xbox One. Sunset Overdrive looks great and I love the premise. The hits just keep coming. I was very impressed with Titanfall. I would believe this would be just a timed exclusive since its published by EA. It looks fun and addicting. Now I have to say they did a lot right, especially by showcasing Metal Gear Solid V by basically saying its here too. They have secured that, the Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts. That is pretty huge. I was the letdown by Ryse which looks too centered around QTE. The gameplay looks so cheap. I was expecting something more from it and was excited about Killer Instinct but I came away unimpressed by what I saw.

Now as for Sony, I don’t feel it was a free flowing but they had some major things I liked. I loved how they had indie developers there. That was a huge thing. I came away really impressed how a few of those games like Outlast will be free for PS+ users. I wanted that already and also topping it off with Driveclub is pretty cool. Sony I didn’t feel showed much overall. The only new game I really came away impressed with was Order 1886. I am excited to see more about it. They showcased Final Fantasy Versus 13 and how the rumor is true that it is actually 15 now. The footage was great but puzzling how different it is. The announcement of Kingdom Hearts 3 was incredible too. The announcement of those two games are incredible but I come away less impressed since they are on the Xbox One too. The same goes for Destiny which is easily one of my most anticipated titles. That game looked stunning. It too though is a multiplatform game. Its like they did what Microsoft did and showcase a lot of third party games…

I started playing more of my 360. I am enjoying State of Decay. I think its a pretty cool game and a great zombie title. A type of game centered around zombies that should have been out long ago. I can see great zombie games learning from State of Decay. The other game is Metal Gear Revengeance. I had it since it came out and just recently started playing it. I love it. The game is awesome. Platinum truly knows how to give us great action titles. There is another particular action title I am extremely excited about and that is Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. It looks awesome and better than I expected. Here is my early impressions on some games...

I hope you all are not as busy as I am. I been coming home from work later than usual and after that I have two kids to deal with. As for gaming, I am currently downloading State of Decay. I am really stoked to play it! I haven't played any games in 3D yet. I had a HDMI cable that can display 3D. I had to just move some cables around. I am excited to game more now that I haven surround sound and this badass new TV. I will let you know my thoughts. I did though watch Dredd 3D. It was a cheap movie so I picked it up. I am impressed! The 3D effects were incredible. The movie I thought was so so.

I just bought a new 2013 TV from LG. It is a 50" inch 3D Cinema Smart LED TV. The first HDtv was a 42" inch Samsung Plasma, then a 46" inch Samsung LCD and now another South Korean TV. It is beautiful and I finally set up a surround sound system in wife and I's room. When my little girl is old enough to sleep with her sister, I will conform that room into something cool. This tv is the major start!

First of all, sorry I didn't comment back to you all who posted on my last blog. I appreciate the comments. Now to simply to get onto Xbox One. I am happy to finally see it and know what to expect. I am not as impressed as I expected but was excited throughout the reveal. I am though stunned about having to have the system a 24 hour period, the need of Kinect to always be connected, and a fee for used games. It seems like there was a lot of bad which was really and obviously left out of the unveil.

I don't have a lot of desire to blog anymore. I might do a few more but they might not be here. I might try over at gamespot. I always go there, at IGN, and Kotaku. They are the best sources for gaming news. Gamespot has always twisted words in articles but Kotaku has been great at saying everything at face value. I just love how their comment section works and been commenting there for years as well as the other two.

I finished up Gacaumelee. That was an awesome game and a great fit to play on the Vita. Games like that will easily have me play my Vita more. I first started on the PS3 and then went to the Vita and like how it easily transitioned and played great on both. I would like an easily transition from the PS3 to PS4 as well as the next Xbox but what I mean by this is simply having a lot of the multiplatform games planned for the PS3/360 available on the next gen systems. It would be nice to have the best version, already grow the next gen library faster, and move on quickly. What are those games? A lot of them are obvious choices that I would assume most would want.

This month has been pretty incredible for game announcements. It seems to be leading into and building on announcments for E3. I was first skeptical about Batman Arkham Origins being done by someone other than RockSteady. When I got the new Game Informer, I am become a believer and excited. Its on top of my list as one my most wanted. The New Game Informer shed light on The Wolf Among Us which I am more excited about as well and showed off a great looking portable Batman game. The new Game Informer is a very good issue.
