E3 will officially wrap up tomorrow but most everything that will be shown off has been announced already.  Thus we pretty much know what all the winners and losers of the show, the press conferences and various other gaming details. 

Let's take a look at the best and worst of the show in a year when there weren't many jaw breaking new games announced.

The Biggest Announcement

Day one's news from Microsoft and Square Enix bringing Final Fantasy 13 to the Xbox 360 was easily the biggest "surprise" …  More

The 2nd news conference of the day is headlined by the crew at Sony.  We will be going live at 2:37 (now) EST with all the gaming goodness.  Follow along if you like on G4TV or http://livewire.ign.com/2008/e3/index.html. 

*Videos now added*

 If Sony or Square talk about a FF7 remake I would totally forget the FF13 failure of yesterday.  Though I realize it is highly unlikely. 

Lots of typical manufacturer hype.  This stuff bores me, move along Jack Trentton!  Though this year supposedly…  More

No sooner do I complain about a lack of a blockbuster Kotor title in my E3 piece apparently a interview at Portfolio.com and confirmation from the guys at Joystiq have some news.

It seems EA boss John Riccitiello has confirmed a Knights of the Old Republic MMO is in the works!  Wow, now this is some huge news. 

Here is the quote:
"We've got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development," said Riccitiello. The first title, based on the Warhammer property, will launch soon. "And t…  More

I think we have a decent amount a movie fans on this site so some of you may find this interesting. 

I am a huge movie buff, with a sizable collection of DVD's, Blu-Ray's, you name it.  From time to time I like to read movie scripts before they come out or old original scripts. 

Anyways today I came across Quentin Tarantino's latest script from this epic World War 2 movie he will be shooting later this year named "Inglorious Bastards".  If you are a fan of QT you know he has been kicking aro…  More

This piece has been updated and revisited here.

This fall/holiday seasons is going to be a monster for the rhythm based music games.  Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2 will both cause some hurt to wallets and cause indecision on what to buy.  On top of all this Konami is planning on releasing "Rock Revolution" this year as well.

After the release of Rock Band last year Activision and Guitar Hero had to fire back and go all out with instruments and a microphone to even the playing field.  N…  More

In a move that will surely start up the conspiracy theorists, Warhammer Online is getting some massive cuts before launch.  In an utterly stupid move no matter how you slice it, they are cutting major features from the game in order to make it by a fall launch. 

Generally developers take extra time and delay a game instead of cutting features to make a release date.  Yet on the other hand the crew at EA Mythic insists big daddy EA had nothing to do with this decision.  S…  More

I've been asked for a list of top users by quite a few people so here it is:

Line of the week:
"The combat in game one was a basket of farts"

Yahtzee tackles E3 this week, albeit a bit late.  But then that is what we come to expect from Yahtzee as his reviews usually come a while after the fact.  He pulls no punches and gives E3 a dose of reality much like the rest of the gaming press has over the lackluster show this year.

I gave my thoughts on E3 almost two weeks ago, but even I will concede that my humor pales in comparison to the witty satire in a Yahtzee vide…  More

Warhammer Online is coming.  After mixed reviews from Age of Conan and general lack of faith in Funcom's progress we have a new major MMO set for release in the coming months.  Last we heard Sept. 23rd is still the rumored release date and nothing has been said contrary.

Today EA Mythic released the system specs for the game.  They aren't horrible, though I do find the added 1GB of RAM for Vista amusing.  Hopefully these present no issues for you guys, though I know a lot of y…  More

The gaming news is a bit slow today, so sports news is currently on my mind.  First and foremost on the agenda is the Olympics and China. 

Bringing the Olympics to China was bad move on the part of the IOC.  Everything leading up to these events has shown me that Toronto would have been a much more wise choice than Beijing.  Don't give me all this "China deserves, they have done so much to improve, they are an upcoming mega power" nonsense.  The Olympics, the athletes an…  More
