As you can see over the last week there hasn’t been much in the way of new stuff added to Vagusnet however I’m hoping this will change as i haven’t been feeling that well over the past week however I’m much better know so i will be updating much more from now on.
Now we are trying to get more things on here but we need your help and input as to what you think we should have on the site, i do have a few ideas but i need to go by Gaz first to see what he thinks.
I won’t tell you what they are but what i will say is that one of them is unique and i don’t think i’ve seen it on very many sites and i think that it would give all of you even more imput than before.
So it has come down to the best game at this years E3 and it was a hard choice as there were a lot of good games however in my eyes there was one that shone more than any other game, there was one that impressed me even more, there was one that stood higher than anything else, there was one… OK I’m going to stop there and tell you what it is.
Lady’s and Gentlemen i give the best game at E3 (drum roll please) Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Now it’s a bit pointless telling you what the game is about but i will say that this time it isn’t set in world war two this time it’s set in present time and has a shit load more action that the other Call of Duty games.
So what the hell impressed me more than any other game well it was the fact that the developers saw that it was time for a change to the series and instead of doing a EA and release another Medal of Honor game in world war two they decided to set it in our times thus breathing new life into the series.
On top of all of this the graphics blew me away as they showed what can be done on next generation consoles.
So if watching the trailer and seeing the many screenshots of the game hasn’t impressed you then you need to stop laying video games now as you are no longer welcome in the video game fold.
Now in my eyes Microsoft’s E3 press conference was the worst out of the 3 as it didn’t show anything that we didn’t know about and there was very little in the way of surprises however there were a few stand out games at there event including my choice for there best at E3 Project Gotham Racing 4.
While it’s just another racing game on the 360 PGR4 stands out for a few reason those being that it looks absolutely gorgeous, it has some fantastic weather effects that determine how you race on the tracks that are available and finally the ability to race bikes as well as cars.
The game will be out in September as Microsoft only showed games at there press conference that are going to be out this year apart from Resident Evil 5.
Again with the PS3 game the trailer for PGR4 is below so leave a comment to tell us what you think and if you also think that my choice is wrong and what you would of picked.
In my eyes Sony had the best E3 press conference and there were a few stand out games however my pick for the best Playstation 3 game of the show had to be Uncharted Drakes Fortune.
Developed by the creators of the Jak and Daxter series Naughty Dog the game sees you taking control of Nathan Drake a Lara Croft wannabe on a journey through a tropical wilderness fighting the usual bad guys and preforming the moves we normally see in Tomb Raider games.
So why is this my choice of the best PS3 game at E3 well it boils down to the fact that it looks fantastic and instead of Sony just doing a Microsoft and release there 100th FPS or Racing game they decided to go with a 3d adventure and it was one of only a handful of games at E3 that wasn’t a sequel and that says something.
So below is a trailer of the game and you can see why i think this game will be big.
Another E3 has gone by and this year was a stripped down version of what we normally expect however there still was a few big highlights of this years E3 and below is what i thought the best game was on each of the formats starting with the Playstation 3 and what i thought was the best game.
*each game will have it’s own post and it will be exclusive to that console
So Nintendo has just finished there first press conference of the new E3 so what did they talk about, well below is just some of the main points that Nintendo talked about this year.
Three new peripherals were shown off, firstly there is the new Wii zapper that will play home to the Wiimote and Nunchuck and will change it into a light gun for the upcoming Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles from Capcom, Ghost Squad from SEGA, Medal of Honor from EA and many more games to come.
Secondly there was a steering wheel from Nintendo themselves that will come packaged with Mario Kart Wii and will see the light of day early next year.
Finally there was the most interesting controller in the form of a balance board that will come with the game WiiFit and will see people taking exercise to a whole new level by using pressure pads that are encased in the controller itself measuring how much weigh you put on it as well as detecting the movements that you make.
Nintendo also lined out that they plan to make more of an effort when it comes to online gaming with games like Fifa, Madden, Dragon Quest Joker, Guitar Heroes 3 and many more games have some form of online play attached to them.
Two important release dates were also announced for to of the biggest games this year, Mario Galaxy will be hitting American shores on November 12th with Super Smash Bros Brawl out on the 2nd of December again for American stores with no word on when we in the UK will see them.
Shown off for the first time was a new Wii channel that will be for your Mii’s, entitled Check Mii Out the channel will see people being able to swap there Mii’s with a lot more ease and also be able to enter them into special competitions and tournaments.
Finally Nintendo stated that they expect the gaming industry to eclipse TV, music, DVD etc across the globe with sales and the amount of time people spend with games.
Highlighted in this was Nintendo stating that the gaming industry has grow a lot in the last few years and that’s mostly down to how successful the Nintendo DS has done with it contributing 69% of the growth and it looks like this number will rise considering how well the DS is doing across the world.
Nintendo also said that they plan to have another 100 Wii games and 140 DS games out by the end of the year in America.
Overall Nintendo press conference wasn’t all about showing us just trailers of new games they wanted to tell us how gaming is affecting people and how well the DS and Wii has done to get more than just the hardcore gamer playing video games.
Yes people are going to be a little disappointed on the lack of new games announcement but Nintendo are taking a different prospective on the gaming industry and did want to just make there press conference like there two rivals.
Well as you can see Vagusnet had had a bit of a face lift and it was about time to.
The original Vagusnet was going down the pan very fast and something had to be done, so Gaz stept up to the plate and did something and I’m glad that he has.
It was starting to become a bit of a strain to try and keep a site like VN running on my own so Gaz came up with the idea that we should scale it down and make it into a fancy version of a blog and what a good idea it was.
Now i know that it might be a bit of a shock when you log into Vagusnet at first but you should still stick with us as we are going to be concentrating on posting up the stuff that you need like reviews, previews, news etc and in the near future we might introduce new features depending on how well this new format does.
So if you are a old member or you’ve just discovered us then stick by us and we’ll try and make your stay worth while.
