That has always puzzled me. I see Saints Row as prime bottom of the barrel material. I suppose it's just a very love or hate game.

Yeah. I just have specific tastes I guess and Saint's Row is just not something I can get into. Same goes for nearly all sandbox games though. It's just like the epitome of Western style game design that I dislike.

All of these sequels at E3 have made me realize I need to play some of the games I already have. After watching some of the excellent looking new Zelda trailers, I realized I haven't hardly touched Wind Waker, so I played it for a couple of hours last night. What a great game. It plays like a fairy tale. It's very whimsical and charming. Plus, the cell shaded graphics haven't aged a bit- the game still looks gorgeous.

Haha, oh. The GTA style sandbox games get me I guess, I even did just about everything in Crackdown. Was so fun searching for the orbs, doing all the racing missions, etc. Couldn't get into the second one at all though... but yeah I tend to really dig these games. Although I played bits of Red Dead Redemption and couldn't get into that one, might have to give it another shot sometime.

Hey, you tricked me! :P


What's so bad about the Disneyland Adventure clips though? I think that game looks brilliant. Putting kids in a virtual recreation of Disneyland? They are going to make a fortune! Even I want to try it.

The dialogue between the two kids is unnatural. Nobody talks like that when playing a game, not even in half-assed toy commercials. Also, if you noticed one of the characters the kids are controlling jumps even when not prompted to do so- proof that these are pre-rendered.

Best. E3. Ever.
