This isn't really a post about E3 2008 because I never really watched it all - I was too buy lounging in the sun drinking sangria to give a toss about the Internet (crazy I know, but four glasses of sangria can do that to you). But when I did come back from my holiday I was in for a rather nasty shock:

Oh dear. I think Nintendo just tried to murder E3 once and for all - and not in the death of King Hamlet sneaky way using posion in the wine, but more the Mr T bends you over and makes you pity yourself for going to the Nintendo E3 press conference way.

What person, who decided to spend three days in a computer games orgy surround by camera-wielding journalists fighting each other to play the latest version of Killzone to see if it really is better looking than real life (SPOLIER: it's not) is going to give a rat's ass about *inhale* "Family entertainment"??! The very notion that Nintendo decided to introduce thaeir soccer-mom-lets-all-get-together-and-bake-cakes marketing goon at a hardcore gaming event like E3 is tantamount to doing a moonie at everyone who survived the three day game demo cage fight, or worse - stayed up to watch it on Gamespot Live.

Perhaps this is what E3 has come to and we should just lay it to rest. Or perhaps this isn't the end of the soccer mom invasion. Perhaps we will soon be seeing "Soccer-Mom Sony" or "Miss Microsoft". Dear God...

I need more sangria.
