Announced an exclusive Portal game for the 360, hopefully this makes its way to Steam after Valve has collected their check from MS.

Sounded like its just extra levels, not any new story.

I have never really liked Final Fantasy, but I will admit the XIII looks mind blowing just from the CGI movies.

So many games they are showing are getting me real excited. Fallout 3, GoW2, HAWX, and sooo many more look so wicked and sick, I can't wait to play them all.

Jeff Green's coverage of EA's press conference was rather amusing:

John Ricatello is back and I still can't spell his name. He's about to announce a new partnership. Oh my! It's id Sofware! I've like totally heard of them! And now here's John Carmack. I've heard of him too! He's talking about Rage. Actually all he's really saying is that we need to go to QuakeCon to see it. What a tease. Oh wait, now he's showing a little clip. So far, lots of brown. Well that's a surprise. Now lots of zombies and monsters growling at the screen, plus, for a bonus, a woman in a tight green jumpsuit with humongoid breasts. THEY KNOW WHAT GAMERS WANT.

Cool another Total War fan. The Total War series seems to be more popular over in europe. As a Swede stuck in the US, I am looking forward to play Karl XII of sweden.

It just looks to be an amazing game with kick ass graphics and not consolified(Dumbed down) like most games nowadays.

I've been watching it on G4, but they have all their material up.

**RGM-79N_GM_CUstom** · 07-18-2008, 07:24 PM

I didn't enjoy this E3 at all. Their really wasn't any stand out games. They were all more or less games we knew were coming out.

**Plude220** · 07-18-2008, 09:14 PM

I cant wait for KILLZONE 2 I just wish they would show more in thier videos and give us a early release. Also Farcry 2 is a must but thiers no way my PC will run it good I will get it for the 360 but I dont think the 360 is going to look near as good as the PC tho.

Funny you say that, I was thinking the same thing. Yawn.......
And some head exec. of like EA or UBI just said the same thing in an interview.
He said something like since they switched from May to July, there is no way a company would hold off announcing until E3 and miss the chance to build up the game all summer.

There were always tons of surprise at E3 in May.
