Brain Disfunction: E3 Review
So, my first reactions upon browsing through the E3 Editors Choice was "What the hell? LittleBigPlanet?" Then i looked into it some and i saw that it really doesn't seem to be that bad of a game. This game is designed to run on the PS3 and it will be one of the first games to use PlayStation Network. The game looks cool, but is it a 2D game? Because, even though the graphics and everything look great i don't enjoy playing 2D games much. This game enables you to "build" stuff up from scratch whether be a tank or building or anything you want; but it doesn't appeal to me that much as games like Halo 3, CoD 4, and MGS4. Currently everybody is just underestimating the game and i am as well, until i hear more news about this game and wondering why it still hit the best game of the show i will still be disappointed by Gamespot decisions.
I was very disappointed to see that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot did not even make a finalist. The game looked absolutely amazing and i can't mention it enough the part where i saw Vamp and Raiden fighting. The graphics looked just as good as Call of Duty 4 and I'm pumped more about MGS4 then Halo considering what my user-name is. I was just as shocked when i didn't see Assassin's Creed on the list and that game was almost the best one out of the whole show. This next topic i agree with Gamespot; their was nothing mentioned about Spore. Spore is like, even more in-depth then the Civilization series and thats already in-depth. You start off by creating an organism and evolve, then soon make a city or something very close to that.
"Amazing. I'll probably buy a Playstation 3 for this. Screw LittleBigPlanet!"
I was actually pleased about thier "Shooter" list. I think Gamespot knew that Halo 3 would be the best shooter so they just took that game off the list and put on other games to give them a hance as well. All the games like Crysis, Bioshock, Unreal 3, Killzone 2, and of course Call of Duty 4 deserve their places. Halo 3 doesn't need to be placed on the list because every body already know's that it probably is the best one. Yet all the game's on their "Shooters" list may actually beat Halo, you never know.
Closing this recap is probably my least favorite subject. Rockband. I hate how it took first place in the "Stage Demo" category. Other games like Bioshock or Mercenaries 2 should have deserved that title. The game is an addition to a game like Guitar Hero. You just have some more people playing next to you. Not to forget the price, Guitar Hero (with the Guitar) came to $70. Looking at the equipment you should have to get the most enjoyment out of it with your friends comes out to $200. Which leads me to my very last topic (promise) money. I pre-ordered Halo 3 Legendary Edition and thats $130 alone, know in order to "jam" with my friends i have to spend an additional $200 to play a simple video game? $70 for Guitar Hero was enough but this is outrageous. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 new games are all $60 now instead of $50 like for the Wii and the PC. So far i see the Wii Fit for $70. I might just stick with that or get some other game. I enjoy playing video games and i do enjoy being with friends; but i'll just have to find something else to do.
