E3 is well underway, and Microsoft is unveiling a multitude of a amazing games and products during the week. So far, from what I've seen, Halo 4 is the big name that they're using to provide a current for the rest of the titles to flow through. If you haven't checked it out yet, take a gander at the live-action trailer on Xbox Live; it gives you a sense of reality for the game that I hadn't yet had the opportunity to feel.
Though Halo 4 may have been the big hitter, as it were, South Park The Stick of Truth is truly impressive for any fans of the series. You take control of the new kid and take part in an epic battle for South Park in the latest entry to this Comedy Central show. This trailer is also up on Xbox Live, and it provides more than a few laughs and really gets you psyched for the game's release.
Resident Evil 6...that is all. Nah, there's more that I have to say. The trailer made the game look like an adrenaline filled Bond movie that's crossed swords with all of the Resident Evil games since the second iteration. New and familiar characters clash and join up to take down Neo-Umbrella's plot. during the game it looks like you make a mad dash throughout the world as you see scenes from all over. It looks very different from the last few games, but in a good way, not in the ORC way.
What rounds out E3 for me this year is Borderlands 2. In no way should this game be passed up for lovers of FPS games or RPGs. It takes elements from both and mashes them up into something greater than the sum of it's parts. Not only are there millions of gun adaptations to play with, but you'll take control of new characters while meeting old favorites on your journey.
That's what E3 felt like to me this year, a reuinion of familiar games with fans that are eager to get their hands on them, with a few new ones interjected at the correct intervals. The convention's still not over yet so there's still time for some great new surprises too; keep your eyes open and on the coverage so you don't miss out!
