Back from Vacation

Back to reality I guess. Its good to be home and it stinks at the same time. I have to be at work in 6 hours and I am not tired enough to go to sleep. I guess I will be at midnight though. Anyways, E3 was a great success this year..for me anyway. I really enjoyed myself and it was the first time in many years that I wanted to stay all 3 days from open to close.
After seeing Wii, I am convinced that if marketed right and it has the right support, then it will be one of the coolest game machines ever. Not that its more powerful than Gamecube. Its prettier, but only by a bit. Its the controller otherwise dubbed the Wii-mote. It really makes interacting with the games interesting. The only thing that I noticed that was poor was that you had to buy a new controller to play the retro games on the virtual console.
I made a mistake regarding the XBOX Live Arcade games. I found more on a kiosk in the back of Microsoft's booth. I found Ulitmate MK3 and gave it a shot. It is still way early to comment on. The resolution has to be bumped up a few notches and it will be. I also saw Konami's Time Pilot, Frogger, Contra, and Scramble.
Its amazing how much some of these booth people (including babes) dont know about their own booth. Most of them could not even answer a simple question like "Is (enter game name here) anywhere in this booth?" I would get that puzzled look. Not only from booth babes who were only hired to demonstrate one game, but from programmers as well. Even if the game was right behind them. I would always get told to ask somebody else.
Anyways thats my rant. Gonna get some sleep. More on E3 later with pics (hopefully)
