...E3 mini-thoughts

General thoughts:
Lots of good current gen games. Maybe 'cause we're doing Shrek Super Slam I was surprised how many 3d brawlers there were...not surprisingly most were American made, and most were not too special the worst being the EA vs. Marvel game Also I was unimpressed by the next-gen stuff in general...Sony was up to their usual lies (albeit with very good looking vids) and Microsoft didn't show much that looked special at all...I was able to talk to Valve's Robin Walker and he said TF2 news is imminent (yay!).

Some notable cool games and a link for each:
Stubbs the Zombie
Shadow of the Collossus
Killer 7
Mark Ecko
Prey
Chibi-Robo
Hulk 2

Games I wanted to check out but were played behind closed doors:
black
gears of war
dead rising
nba 2k6 xbox360
madden xbox360
spore
bully

Notable Stinkers
Madden PSP - terrible framrate and camera too zoomed in for 16:9!
Top Spin Xbox 360 - looked like xbox1
Rockstar Booth - C'mon show off the games!

...pre-E3 - my checklist

Valve - Team Fortress 2: some info would make this my most anticipated
Nintendo - Revolution System
Sony - Ps3
