Actually, mine is an elephant bank but it serves its purpose well.

After the E3 i browsed www.VGreleases.com and took notes about the release dates of some games. I’m going to spend 400€ or more within December 2009.

If you expected me to list all that I’ve seen at E3 (e.g. on other websites) You’ve come to the wrong place. That would be just a copy paste. Now, here are my impression:

Left 4 Dead 2: I hope the promised updates for L4D aren’t going into this one. I’d be greatly disappointed. The look is ok. I just can’t stand the daylight for a zombie game and the new characters. I love the L4D foursome because everyone has character but seeing the new survivors didn’t excite me at all, except for the white-dressed Nick the gambler.

Project Natal: Incredible! A device that can’t work if you change your pants while you play. Jokes aside, it’s a very interesting project. I’m just a little disappointed about the lack of buttons and physical feedback. This way it looks just like the power glove for 4 limbs.

Halo ODST and Halo Reach: Cool, more info and another chapter in the Halo saga. Too bad Bungie is stuck to dual stick controls in his FPSs.

Milo: Enough tamagotchi, thanks.

XBOX communities: Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm are coming to X360. Good, but often who spends time on these communities likes keyboards to write.

Assassin’s creed 2: Awesome job on the visuals. Though I don’t like the game and I’m never going to play it from what I’ve seen Ubisoft is doing an amazing job on the dubbing (side note: I’m Italian and Venice is in north-eastern Italy).

New Super Mario Bros Wii: a 4-player, 10-years old, dream that comes to life for me. I’ll play it alone from start to finish. Maybe it’s just me, but Instead of the yellow toad I’d like to see princess Peach as in Super Mario Bros 2.

WiiFit+: no comment. Why don’t you release WiiWeightLifting? I’d need that.

Super Mario Galaxy 2: The best title in videogame history is getting a sequel? I’ll need to borrow some drool from my friends.

Wii Vitality Sensor: Don’t ever think about WiiRelax. Release something like… WiiZombie that detects your heart beat and places the zombie horde accordingly. Oh, and with rumble support it could be great for WiiMasturbate too.

Metroid: Other M: I’d have to spend several rows on this. Let’s just say that I’m very afraid of the development team and the possible outcome. But since Itagaki isn’t around any more maybe Team Ninja will use their breast jiggle engine to animate some monster’s gelatinous tentacles (I’m not thinking about hentai).

PSP Go: Smooth move! Really worth the price in my opinion but they’re still missing a point: protect that damn screen!

The Last Guardian: Expect some more poetic puzzles from this one.

Sony’s motion controller: Good thing they used already-on-market hardware like the PS3 Camera. Bad thing they copied. Again. Apparently people likes to throw away dignity in the effort of making money.

Final Fantasy XIV: I haven’t been into MMORPGs for 4 years now and this won’t change my mind but I hope that it’ll be far more playable than FFXI.

Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil for PSP: Sometimes more of the same is good. Oh, and the 4-player co-op in MGS will have some granted hilarious implications.

New Castlevania and MGS arcade: Sometimes more of the same is good. Oh, and the 4-player co-op in MGS will have some granted hilarious implications. Yes, it’s a copy-paste of the above comment.

New Legend of Zelda in  the works: We’ve got only a pic of that but it’s enough to make us wonder why Link doesn’t have a sword and he’s accompanied by a queen-of-the-fairies-like blue creature.

Little Big Planet PSP: I don’t know how they’re going to coordinate graphic and physics processing but this is another interesting title for sure.

For my private life, after quitting my job I’m going to do the entrance examination to the academy of fine arts in October. I’ve got plenty of time to study and practice new stiles until then (as you can see it from the new cinematic shots in the latest story).

Also, after years of honoured duty, my SNES is going to have a long vacation. There’s no more space for him under my TVs (damn DTTs!). I’ll have to put him in a box an save it for the future generations. I think games like Super Mario Kart and Yoshi’s Island will be highly enjoyable even for my sons.
