E3 quick impressions

Ok, to reiterate what powerpuff has said, E3 is in full swing and Sony’s been making HUGE waves with their official announcement of PS3. Some of the games/demos they’ve shown have been simply amazing. Killzone has left me floored, MotorStorm looks too good to be true, Fight Night Round 3 looks insane, and some of those tech demos are unreal.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has been fairly quiet. 360 games aren’t looking quite that impressive anymore after seeing what PS3 has to offer. Granted, whether those PS3 demos are in real-time or anywhere close to what the final product will be is still up in the air, but the fact that they were shown is enough to get us doubting 360's power (compared to PS3 of course, because there is no arguing whether the 360 is a powerful piece of equipment. It is. But compared to PS3?)

Killzone has me salivating, contemplating, doubting, wishing, and frustrated all at once. Is it real? Can it be? But how? Too good to be true. We’re not at that level yet . . . or are we? Sony, answer me dammit!!!! Don’t leave us wondering for months!!!!

P.S. - Umm, where’s Perfect Dark Zero? Wasn’t this Microsoft’s Ace? Oh that’s right, I saw what it looked like on the MTV special (sort of at least) and after seeing Killzone . . . good call Microsoft, you shouldn’t be showing that game off quite yet.
