Hope you all had fun!
Sony had the best showing by far but due to the FFXIII reveal of a 2 year old trailer everyone is blinded. Sony really did show more exclusives and catered much more to the hardcore gamer.

yo sev1512 what did you think overall?
July 15th, 2008 at 9:02 PM

Sev1512 i am glad you enjoyed your trip.
I honestly think sony were great today, people are complaining about it on many forums but i personally think they are out of their minds.
MAG looks great. i really cannot wait for resistance fall of man 2 i mean cmon wa6ts better than kiking some wupp ass out of a monster that BIG!!
July 15th, 2008 at 10:02 PM
I think Sony did an excellent job. They made no mention of what took place yesterday. The company focused on things that needed to be addressed and made the video store available earlier than many had expected.
Who can be mad after MAG was announced? That game was simply amazing

You guys gonna try to hit up the playable demos? I’m wondering about LBP the most, whats new the Media Molecule hasn’t shown off before E3
July 15th, 2008 at 10:17 PM
you guys need to add an edit function
I meant, whats new *that* Media Molecule…

Please ask EA if they will change the Madden 09′ cover pic if Brett Favre trades teams. He is wearing a Packers Jersey on the cover and according to an interview he did with Fox News he will be returning next season, but the Packers may trade him. So would they change the cover image?
July 15th, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Yeah guys. Great job. Especially whoelse. Sorry I couldn’t help much bro. Summer classes are no fun
July 15th, 2008 at 11:21 PM
