Best and Worst of E3: Your Opinion

Vikingod · Jul 17, 2008, 02:35 PM

Well, E3 has been up and running for a couple days now. For those of you who have been following it, let us know what you've been impressed by or what you feel is a let down.

Personally, I'm most impressed by Left 4 Dead, Empire: Total War and Spore. Each looks amazing and seem to have something unique to offer. Far Cry 2 looks pretty great too.

My biggest let down is probably Dragon Age: Origins. The footage I saw looks pretty unimpressive, like it's been done 9000x and that it could have come out 5 years ago. We'll see though, it's still early.

2. Grant Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on DS

That's right, the PSP will soon no longer be the only portable device for indulging in a little criminality-laced, motorised mayhem GTA-style, as bowing to fanboy pressure (and an install base of 70 million, remember), Rockstar is finally bringing its juggernaut of a franchise to DS.

Suffice to say the questions are many: How will it employ the touchscreen? Will it be tone down the violence for a younger market? Will the 3D visuals run like an absolute pig?

The answers at this stage are few. Although we do have a launch date (November) and hardly surprising suggestion of a new game engine for the format.

Read the full (albeit brief) story on Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for Nintendo DS.

Same, been looking forward to those for a while

I wonder if there's any possibility of a bioshock sequel or do you think the plot's well and truly closed on that one?

There will definetely be a sequel, but my guess is not untill 2009.
