Vary:So, John, its a day after the end of E3, i.e.
How did you take to your very first E3 experience?
John Young:I still feel abused by it all.
Its a complete sensory overload that initially seemed really impressive in an oh-this-is-probably-what-the-future-will-feel-like-50-years-from-now way.
But I did get to check out some very promising games.
The 12-year-old version of me would have had the best time of his life.
Vary:No kidding!
John Young:Youre right, it is ultimately about the games, and boy did they looksweet.
Unfortunately, most of the ones that totally knocked my socks off werent playable yet.
But it definitely was not Nintendo.
(It looks exactly like the plastic pulse monitor used in hospital ICUs.)
And they didnt even explainhowthe thing could be applied to, you know, gaming.
For me, it was easily the biggest turkey out of E3.
John Young:For me, the biggest disappointment was that Sony didnt lower the PlayStation 3s price.
But the sheer excess of everything is part of the E3 experience, I guess.
Hey, PopWatchers, do you have any E3 stories to share?
And which games are you most excited about playing in the near future?
