Live from LA: E3 mini coverage and pics


Recommended Posts

And I am back another year with pics from the biggest gaming expo in the world i.e. E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) 2010. Here's a small summary of my experience:

 

Nintendo 3DS:

I played with 3DS for a while. The 3D experience really worked well. I didn't expect it to be that good but it was pretty sick. The option to adjust the 3D is also pretty cool and works well. I didn't feel much strain on the eyes after playing with it for like 5-10 minutes so that's another good point. 3DS also has accelerometer and gyro sensor now. The analog stick works well and is pretty smooth and light to use. 3DS looks like a sureshot winner from Nintendo.

 

Playstation Move:

I played Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition with Move. Initially it was a bit hard to get used to it. It pretty hard to aim with it initially but after a while you'll get used to it. Overall, the experience feels similar to Nintendo Wii. Sony's main plus point will be graphically superior games supporting Move (and Move's so called precision).

 

Microsoft Kinect:

I didn't get the time to try this one out but it looked cool. Microsoft still needs to work on the precision part though which seems to be a bit lacking.

 

Games: I tried out a few games within the limited time i had:

 

Mafia 2: The demo was fairly long and action packed. The gameplay was pretty good. The graphics looked a bit jaggy though. I hope the final game doesn't have those issues. The vehicle controls felt a bit weird. Overall, the gameplay is good but the game still needs some polishing.

 

Assassins Creed: Brotherhood: I played the multiplayer demo (there was no single player playable demo) and it was pretty cool. Each player in the game is given a target and has to assassinate one player. At the same time, one has to save oneself from being assassinated by other players, so it's kind of a cat and mouse game and is pretty fun. Each player can choose from a range of special powers like gelling into the crowd after murdering the target, using smoke bombs etc.

 

Killzone 3: looked stunning. The levels are pretty big as you can see from most videos. Looks like a winner to me...

 

Didn't get time to play more games as i reached the expo pretty late. I hope you like this mini coverage and if you have any questions, feel free to ask

 

Here are the pics:

and to those who have heard about Jessica Chobot from IGN.com, here's a small video:

 

I managed to speak to her and get some pics. She seemed pretty nice to talk to and down to earth. I am still dreaming about her...

Thanks guys :rofl:

 

Did you get to play any of the 3D games???

yup. I played some on the Nintendo 3DS and played Wipeout 3D on PS3. Both were pretty fun although i think playing on the PS3 for some time will put strain on your eyes

 

Mr. Lee appears once a year in IVG !!!

lol sorry for that. The thing is i love IVG but i don't have a console yet. I used to play on my PS2 but since i am in US for a short while i don't have a TV. I thought of getting a PS3 but it's no use without a TV, so i don't visit IVG that often. But i do try to check out some IVG reviews now and then. Nowadays i am playing mostly on my laptop (Portal, Bad Company 2, Trackmani a etc.)
