Anyone tried out the 9 Wii U demos up from Indies only downloadable this week?

You get 15% off if you decide to buy if you download the demo.

Anyhow, Rive surprised me, very responsive controls, hardcore gameplay. It starts off like R-Type and then you go inside an installation and your ship turns into a robot and it plays like a platformer/shooter. Nice graphics, seems like a great game but it has twin stick controls, which means you use the shoulder buttons for jumping and firing which I hate for this sort of game. Try it out though, you guys might like it.

Soul Axiom is a piece of shit, runs at 20 FPS, is going for a Myst vibe but only suceeds in having worse than Myst graphics and crappy controls and no direction.

So where are the cool smaller game surprises. Every e3 there is some game hiding in a corner booth that gets a ton of attention for being very unique. I don't see that this year. I don't see any reporting this year, why is there even a trade show anymore.

Besides Sony's presentation, this year's E3 has just been a bust for me.  I've tempered my expectations during the last few years, but there was a major lack of surprises this time.

I guess that it doesn't help that I was unable to watch the conferences live with you guys like the last few years.

It would be cool if they added Super Paer Mariocode so you could flip from 2d to 3d.  Maybe the sequel, perhaps.

I finally figured out what was sorely missing from E3 this year!  And no, it wasn't games  

Booth Babes!  Seriously, it seems like only Dark soals had any at all.  And even then they only had 4.  And they weren't even properly 'dressed'!  I mean, look at them:

Their booth babing ancestors are weeping in their graves.

Also, kudos to this guy, whoever he was:

Yeah it's weird, tons of videos not many written previews.

GG, have you seen this?  It's not quite EO, but it might be a nice substitute.  http://www.abzugame.com

Looks okay but not the real thing

Mario makers editor is insane!!! It murders LBP a in terms of functionality and ease. Sure you can't make whatever you want but it is so much easier to make a platforming level.

The touch screen helps alot, can't you use vita to make LBP levels?

14 minute Rise of the Tomb Raider gameplay demol

I really hate to say this, but this demo looked like shit. All thanks to it being forced to run on clearly inferior, last gen hardware.

Hmm. So Zombi U is heading to the Xbox One. Interesting. I may have to pick this game up.

At least they won't have to downgrade the graphics as much to get a smooth framerate on that hardware; the resolution might have to be reduced a bit, though.

I ..... I...... I.....

George is getting upset!!!
