So, I actually watched from begining to end on this one. Rather than some people, who just wanted the badge. Yeah, surprising that I actually did something on the site which gets you a badge. :P
Anyway, these are my thoughts on the whole thing.
Game Demos were good. Everyone enjoys seeing something that they haven't had the chance to play themselves yet. A look into the future PS3, and a few great looking games. Bioshock looked pretty sweet, and hopefully I'll have some money by the time the game and hardware comes out. Probably not, though.
Homer Cam was less than great. Homer was amusing, but nothing I'd want to watch for six hours (which is why I didn't). For the most part, I only watched when there was nothing else good on the main stage. When Homer got boring I tended to switch to the GamePlay channel but I'll talk about that further down.
The only part of Homer Cam which I was really liking was when he was watching and talking to people playing games that haven't gotten coverage on other channels.
The GamePlay channel was cool. I'm probably one of the few people who can be easily amused watching other people play games as well as getting my own chance to play. I didn't really care about what game it was, because they were all new to me. I liked watching people get wiped out and smashed by other people.
The Confessional was fairly boring to me. I guess it's cool to get the views of people around, and what they think of the games, and what's going on. I just really wasn't intersted in the opinion of the average gamer when I could be watching the game being played, or seeing a new game being talked about and played on the stage floor.
Music wise, I thought it was going to suck as soon as Midnight Brown started playing. I'm as into joking around as any other person even in terms of music, but this just bored me. I ended up just watching gameplay footage, and chatting on MSN.
Then MC Chris came on stage. He wasn't anything outstanding, but his music was original and fun at the same time. Hell, at least he had a god damn personality. Joking around with the audience, getting them into the music. I would have loved to be at this event just to be there while he played.
Over-all this was a pretty great show. Good job Game Spot, I approve. If you missed it, I advise you go to the after hours section and check out some of the videos.
And now for a plug for my forum:
