Every year post-E3, I like to write about the event and talk about all the things that got me excited. For one reason or another, I didn’t get around to it this year. That’s not to say that I wasn’t paying attention - I had a browser window open with streaming video of each of the big three press conferences as they happened. And that’s not to say that there wasn’t anything significant to talk about. Believe it or not, Sony impressed the pants off me this year! Not only did they have a lot on the table, but their conference was lively and interesting from beginning to end. Normally, it’s dry and dull. Like previous years, the second half of 2008 is chalk full of great games that are set to release before Christmas. I’ve been keeping my eye on the expansive list and have compiled a couple lists of my own.
| I Wanted to Love Soulcalibur IV | Aug 12 | 11 |
| The King of Dual Analog Stick Shooters Has Returned | Aug 4 | 9 |
| Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero World Tour? | Jul 22 | 21 |
Demo level said to be custom version of a campaign mission.
And yet, digital distribution of full games still seems so far off.
