The future's bright, the future is gaming.

So E3 is over, and what a show it was with the 3DS shown off, Kinect and the inevitable slim Xbox, as well as the Playstation Move, not to mention all the huge titles like Gears of War 3, Halo:Reach, Portal 2, Fallout:New Vegas, Rage, Bulletstorm, Ghost Recon:Future Soldier, Mortal Kombat, Twisted Metal, Zelda:Spirit Sword, Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong:Country, and, well i could go on and on and on, it was such a packed show with tons of stuff to look forward to for all the major platforms.

I'm glad Gamespot believe that Microsofts conference sucked the most, and were not swayed by their giving away of slims, what a huge dissapointment kinect turned out to be, i mean at least sony showed off move support with titles like Littlebigplanet 2 and Socom4, microsoft didn't even show off any first party support from the likes of Fable 3 and Gears 3, and they didn't price it, but it was revealed later from retailers it would be around $150.

I have to admit as a skeptic of whether Nintendo could have a good conference given their console is bogged down with so much shovel ware, they did have arguably the best show, between the 3DS, Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Kirby, Epic Mickey, and Donkey Kong, they have kind of won me over, and probably a few other ardant Wii fans over with their line up.

And on to Sony, like Microsoft i felt their motion sensing stuff weighed them down a bit, but thankfully the titles supporting move were of a higher quality than Kinects Wii back catalogue homage, of course the stellar exclusives were all their and present like Killzone 3, LBP 2, Infamous 2, as well as a few curve balls such as Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat that helped keep things interesting.

The only dissapointment for me in terms of games that weren't there was Dragon Age 2, but that's probably because i've only recently finished off the platinum trophy for Origins, but hopefully the game does exist because i absolutely love the original, a lot more than i was expecting which is always nice.

But soon i shall be playing games i know i will like, because let's be honest Gamespot is hardly ever wrong with their reviews, as just recently i have had Bioshock 2, as well as God of War 3, Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time, as well as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves come through the post, and i can't wait to start playing them next week, i kind oif want to save them till Monday so, while my Mum may be at work, i can show my Dad the awesomeness that is God of War 3, because i'm pretty sure if my Mum saw it she would just get caught up on the violence and not be able to get past that, but who caresat the end of the day it along with a whole lot of titles to come out in the future, are all fantastic spectacles in their own right.
