Too much good stuff at E3 this year...I haven't even seen half of what I want to look at!!!

Great showing by Nintendo all around, great Wii lineup including the Goldeneye remake which I didn't see coming, that's awesome! New Zelda has the style I wanted Wind Waker to have; cel shaded yet realistic too. Donkey Kong looks great, etc. But that 3DS lineup, holy fucking shit?! I'm not a handheld guy but that is insanity.

As for Sony, I'm still at the beginnings of checking things out but I'm very glad to see Socom seems to work great with the Move controller. I'm definitely grabbing Move day 1, but I'm not thrilled with the price. To get the whole package of what you'll need to play most games, you're looking at $130....that's a bit ridiculous. Resident Evil 5 is going to be awesome with it, should really make the game much better controls-wise. I'd like to see every shooter-type game coming out using Move, and I can't understand why more haven't announced support yet other than lazyness.

Metal Gear Solid Rising looks amazing as well. This game also seems like a perfect fit for Move. Still don't know what to make of Sony's new premium online plan.

Microsoft....well Kinect seems like a total joke to me. Not interested at all. Luckily Halo Reach and Gears of War 3 look great. Great show all around though, lots of killer games on the way on all sides.

Awesome to hear from you. I must say we are extremely similar in reaction. Of course I go more over the top but I am completely with you on Sony. I actually want Move, I think it was a good presentation and they have games I want for it.

YES!  I CALLED THAT EXACT GIF AND I HAVE THE RECORDING TO PROVE IT!

Yeah I mean Move seems to be giving us basically a Wii controller for the PS3, so what's not to like about it? I knew this would be better than Kinect from the get-go. Kinect will be useful once Microsoft also releases a remote/analog stick combo to go along with it. Until then, I'm all set.

As I said though, I really hope to see more games supporting MOVE on the PS3. Games like MGS Rising, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty etc. should all be using it. Assassin's Creed could be neat as well, for sword play and stealth kills.

Sonic Colors, first how is that possible on the Wii graphically?!

Its Sonic Unleashed (the HD versions), there is no hiding it, it is pure Sonic Unleashed day stage but only the best parts and more of the great 2D sections. Plus they add the cool power ups that add to the gameplay rather than subtract from it. If this game is truly all Sonic, nothing but stages like this then we have found the greatest Sonic 3D game of all time. That might not mean much to you guys but it does to me.

I'll admit that game does look very pretty for a Wii game. I thought it was on 360 at first. But I will remain skeptical of it actually being a good game until the end, lol.

Exactly my thinking. PS3 has better shooters than the wii and remotes like these are so perfect for them so it makes sense.  But I am not sure any of those games will support it, they should but they never mentioned it. During the conference they showed the Dead Space bundle that comes with Extraction for PS3 and the Extraction logo showed Move support but Dead Space 2 did not. I hope these games all get the support but I don't know.
