by remotehomelife June 3, 2009 12:44 PM PDT: I must say this is a disappointing attempt to recap E3. Not one person really seems to know or care really what is important about E3. E3 is about giving publishers a hands on experience with what is coming in the fall, which is why most videos during the conferences are not gameplay, and using the press briefings to introduce new ideas and tease the future. Project Natal is right up there in that E3 tradition. This year it's a little tease, most likely at next year's E3 it's full out demos of games that are being released that fall. Same with gameplay for Metal Gear Solid, Mario Galxay 2, and Gran Turismo 5; Like this Reply to this comment

as we say in the show, the logo we chose will serve as INSPIRATION for our own design team. The end result will be a unique take on Blake's submission, with all the pertinent information included. We'll tweak it up and include elements from some of the other submissions as well, so let's not mutiny yet.

love, justin yu; Like this Reply to this comment

the Wii vitality sensor makes a mockery of a ligament piece of medical equipment called a pulseoximeter which measures pulse and oxygen levels. Its not a freaking toy and its freaking boring too. Nintendo was high or taking kickbacks from medical tech companys.

Like, when I get mad at the Wii for slow frame rates and freezing on virtual console games, it would know that I am mad and give me a full refund. Or when someone in Japan beats me in Mario Kart for the billionth time, it just ejects the game and shoots it at the wall for me so I don't have to get up and chuck the game disk out and do it myself!; Like this
