E3 is fast approaching. I won’t be going this year but two of our senior staff (a position I just made up) will be there. Due to chemical imbalances, I tend to tire of reading about E3 if I’m not going myself. Game sites are completely saturated with E3 info and I get bitter about not being there so I say screw it, I don’t want to know.
With this in mind, we have decided to make this E3 the E3 of the people. If you want to read about a specific game, company, talent, genre or anything else, let us know and we will cover it in as much depth as possible. You may not be able to go to E3, but we can go for you.
If we get no requests we’ll just cover what we want. And make sure to rub in how you didn’t get to go but we did. That’ll teach you.
Here is a random short list of the tons of games that will be there:
And yes, I’ve purposely listed games by the developer and not publisher whenever possible. It’s called fighting “the man.”

I want to know about a lot of stuff, but I’ll try to limit myself:
Fallout 3
Dragon Age
Ghosts and Goblins for PSP
Land Stalker remake for PSP
Anything Camelot Software Planning
Anything Treasure
Dynasty Warriors and Halo 3 are the only games on that list that interest me. But those two REALLY interest me.
God of War 2, just because the first one was the finest morality play I ever played. Of course, both Legend of Zelda titles, for their pedigree. And then Culdcept Saga on the 360. My 360 resistance may break down then when it comes out.
at risk of sounding cliched…
i agree with jay about camelot and treasure. and with fil about gow2. im still curious about final fantasy xii and persona 3, despite the fact those series have disappointed me at various times over the years. definitely interested in spore despite the fact i havent really played a pc game since college.
Out of the given list, I really want to hear about Bumpy Trot and Spore, and maybe some comments on Too Human.
And I’ll just chime in on camelot and treasure too.
Find out if this Wii thing’s for real. Also curious about the Zelda-ness, one good, one bad? The more the better, so we get our money’s worth!
Spore is something I have been interested in the second I heard about it. I would have to put it on the very top of my list; with the other top spots going to the usual suspects (Halo 3, FFXII, etc. etc.) As for title I am least interested in hearing anything about, that honor would have to go to Destroy all Humans! 2. Honestly, how the hell did that game get made?
Quite a few interesting games in that list, though if Fallout 3 really is there then nothing else matters, not even Zelda.
Wonder if Diablo 3 really will be there?
Akarias = newb.
Gimme some info on Blue Dragon and Mistwalker Studios
One game missing on that list is Funcom Age of Conan — Hyborian Adventures A Online Action RPG for the pc
Information on Sega’s Virtua Fighter 5. Thanks – Akai.
