A Bomb Blew Up
So today a bomb blew up! Yes GiantBomb has finally launched! I already have signed up over there and have a user name as well. I go by Aaron_G there. Feel free to add more to your network if you are a member there.
So now that GiantBomb has launched I face a problem. There is a blog there for me to use, forums, and a bunch of cool editing features. So what to do? Leave GameSpot? No! I will use both and update both so I can keep in touch will all you guys here, who I have been following and reading blogs of yours for almost three years now.
So follow me on GiantBomb and well here too!
The Dark Knight... best movie this year.
E3 Continues
More E3 madness from me. Not in a huge blogging mode, but some quick updates.
Gears of War 2 - Seeing more of it in action and all the Locust on screen is pretty amazing.
Fable II - Still pretty exceited.
Dashboard Update - Themes and gamerpics are still going to be there. Going on a disk too for ppl without Live. Save games on the HDD. Awesome.
Mercenaries 2 - Awesome, did you see that atomic bomb dropped at the stage demo?
Can't remember anymore.
Oh, LittleBigPlanet. Probably the game that will make me get a PS3.
Thats all for now. The madness continues.
Best of E3 - Conferences
Now that all conferences are over and watched them, even though my emblem says I only watched Microsoft, I watched ALL three. I am not doing my reactions to Nintendo and Sony, well Nintendo's made me sad and that ruined my caring to pay attention.
So...
The best conference this year in my opinion was...
Microsoft. They delivered. Showed some hard core games up front. New dashboard. Awesome. Stuff for other people. And PORTAL! And Uno: Rush.I actually like the Avatars, you now actually have an identity online. BTW, Nintendo didn't invent the avatar Mii thing, it already exsisted, they were just the first to use it.
Sony. Nice stuff. Resistance 2 and a PSP Resistance. New content, video and movie for PSN. LittleBigPlanet as a thing to show figures. New hits for PS3, PS2 is still alive.
Nintendo. Yuck. Boring nothing exciting. The woman doing the thing first made my angry. Animal Crossing doesn't count Nintendo. Stop leaving you fans behind for your new fanbase the "casual gamer". Really Nintendo. Disappointing.
So that is what I think. It is really late here. This would've been up sooner but I went out for awhile. More E3 blogs to come!Microsoft Press Conference: Gut Reactions
So this is my second time typing this. So lets hope this works. Microsoft Press Conference just wrapped up and it was very interesting what they had to offer and say. A lot of the conference was a punch in the face to Sony.
Fallout 3: Come on first. Showed a very funny video and then some of the gameplay. Very nice looking, limbs blow off! Awesome!
[EDIT] Here is the trailer that they showed, but extended.
Resident Evil 5: First gameplay I have scene. Looks very nice. Co-op helps you in the game.
Fable II: Peter M. stated the game "is finished". But we still have to October to wait...? More on the co-op in the game. Some Orb thing shows your friends in the game, I guess in real time. You hit a button by that orb and they jump into your game.
Gears of War 2: Awesome new footage that shows the game. A lot of Locust on the screen, showing that the Unreal Engine can handle it. Awesome, chain-saw gun.
Dashboard Update: New interface will be available this fall. Through the "magic of software". Avatars will great you on the screen. New stuff and features. Playable game shows, example, 1 vs. 100. Share photos. Netfilx available. New partnerships with NBC and Universal. Dashboard looks nice. I don't hate it, kinda Vista like though.
Xbox Live Arcade:
- Portal Still Alive. XBLA exclusive
- Geometry Wars 2: Looks like multi-player.
- Galaga Legions. First true sequel.
GH: World Tour: So far 5 Million GH units sold on Xbox 360 platform. Lots of songs coming to World Tour. Including Metallica.
Lips: Its Karoke, microphone lights up. Some Duffy girl sang. Zune and iPod will be able to have music used of them. Rock Band 2: 85 master tracks in the game. Guns and Roses song, AC/DC, and Metallica for them. All RB 1 songs will be forwarded to this game. NO DISC SWAPPING YAY!
Rare: Banjo and Viva Pinata; Trouble in Paradise. Nothing new. Oh the original Banjo is coming to XBLA.
Square Enix: Release dates for a bunch of games and finally, Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the Xbox 360! WHOO!
[EDIT] The version of this at my blogger blog has more videos, so if you want to see some of the trailers, inclduing FF XIII, close up! Go here
E3 is Back in Town
So that event called E3: Media and Business Summit kicks off tomorrow. I am thrilled as I always am. To let you know for your enjoyment I will be viewing the live feeds here on GameSpot, have G4's coverage on as well, and following GiantBomb as well. So I figured I make this blog a little fun. So I have included the top 5 games I am looking forward to this E3.
5. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

Two really awesome universes combined. What more could you ask for?
4. Fable II
I have seen a lot of this game for awhile now, but I am hoping that we will see a more complete version of the game and maybe see it really get to be played by the people at E3.
3. Gears of War 2
I really don't need a reason more that is Gears of War 2. I really hope they "2" get dropped. I don't know if that is the official name. So if it isn't I would like to see it have a better name. But it probaly won't.
2. Spore
I have already tried the Spore Creature Creator and that was pretty cool. Spore is a Will Wright came so it will obviously change things in the industry and you know be an awesome game. I also want to know more about the game.
so at number 1....
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
This is probaly one of my most anticipated games of this year. I really love this Star Wars universe and you know the force at my finger tips in this game should be pretty interesting.
[EDIT] Those are just my top 5 games to look for at E3. ( I am talking like I will be there
) Here are some others I am interested in as well, Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge, RockBand 2, SoulCalibur IV, GH: World Tour, LittleBigPlant, Home (Yeah...), and Resistance 2.
So tomorrow and the following days will be reations to Microsoft's, Sony's and Nintendo's press conferences. See you in the chat rooms!
Recent Reviews
Nirvana also after all the years has songs that you can't help but come back to. The songs never die or grow old they become part of time themselves. Something I can't explain but keeps Nirvana interesting to listen to, if you understand them.
If you haven't heard Nirvana pay yourself a favor and listen to them. You will be a fan for life.
