Yahtzee is right. Everyone is shit.
Except me.
And Yahtzee.
And Neil Patrick Harris.
But in all seriousness, Yahtzee just summed up everything that's wrong about E3. It's just an advertising shitstorm. Once all the games come out, and I try all their demos, then we'll see if they're all as crappy as Yahtzee predicts. But I doubt they'll all be as good as their trailers suggest.

Haha funny and true as usual. Most of the games mentioned I feel the same about, but then again our opinions don't count coz we are all shit 
While I will admit to being pleased with E3 being about the excitement of videogaming again I'm with Yahtzee in that nothing seemed that exciting. Granted, I find it hard to hop aboard the hype-train of any game; I mean, they're just games. *looks around for hurled rocks* Besides, the lead-time for most of these pre-previews means they'll be out gods-know-when and we'll just have months of magazine and gamesite rumors//news/screenshots thrown at us anyway so ultimately I prefer to sit back, ignore the rain of blipverts [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blipvert] for whatever game-of-the-minute is being talked about, and wait for the titles to actually hit the shelves.
YEp. Yahtzee was right on everything. None of them seemed to be too interesting, and Nintendo's was the biggest failfest of them all.
Good game, Mr. Yahtzee.
Still waiting on my favorite series by the way. Stupid E3 hogs.

I don't know, I kinda like Sony's "wiimote-rip-off-even-though-it's-somehow-better-than-it wand-thing". Also, I loved you choking (I can't really think of what else to call the noise) the theme of the show during the ending.
This video had me laughing to the point where I practically had tears in my eyes by the end credits. Great pessimistic outlook on future gaming possibilities... (Let's not take it too seriously, now, shall we?)
Whenever I see Natal, I think of a really good tennis player. Am I alone in this?
Back on topic: You almost made me spray my drink all over my computer, asshole. I loved it.

Once again, a funny look at the debacle that is E3
Although I am slightly looking forward to Assassin's Creed 2

god that last part is exatcly how i feel about the world... screw you all
though i cant wait for halo reach, its going to be an interesting story, as its following the books... you know those funny little paper things that are entirely made of PLOT. and there are some truly interesting moments that i cant wait for... this is quite promising

You are entertaining as always Yahtzee, and you did touch on Alan Wake which was the one I most hoped you would check out. But E3 is a hyper ad-fest and we count on your penetrating insight to pick through the muck and point us towards the shiniest targets so we have a better chance of spending time on a worthwhile game instead of frustrated that we have been lured in once again into wasting valuable time on poorly designed ones. I look forward to your next game review.
