The most interesting games for me at E3 were Mirror's Edge, LittleBigPlanet, and M.A.G, just for the scale of it all.

Wii Music looks utterly terrible, like Guitar Hero with only a strum bar, which doesn't actually do anything.

i gotta be honest, i enjoy these every week, but it's been a while since i actually lol'd at one. here it was both at the "clap clap oi" and the brief mention of gears of war 2

It's so true. Every game coming out is now a sequel. This is the PC line up for 2008.

Fallout 3
Red Alert 3
Mafia 2
Gears of War 2
Starcraft 2
Stalker 2
Mercenaries 2
GTA 4 (PC)
Warhammer Dan of War 2
Diablo 3
Brothers in Arms 2
Far Cry 2
FEAR 2 (Aka Project Origin)
Sacred 2
Jagged Alliance 3
MotoGP 08
Saints Row 2
Street Fighter IV
Postal 3

I don't think Spore counts as its really on the thin line. It could be just a Sims with biology thrown in. Niether does Left 4 Dead, its just a very popular HL Coop mod set in Zombieville.

The college I went to sponsored some good students to go to E3, I declined because I had final project due.

Raigen - If its ZP - it's soooo *NSFW!

How much do you really want a new IP? Two words that should remove all obscene thoughts of such nature: Assassin's Creed!

If you still want a new brand after that, good luck on ya son, but I'll settle with Splinter Cell 16 before I touch that crap again.

"New IP" is one of the worst phrases I have ever heard. When I was a kid we said "new game".

ZP has now jumped the shark. I can't wait till he nukes the fridge.

LOL, love the clapping. And the magpie.

Best one yet.

French chef - Check
Stick Bug - Check
Gun - Check
Velociraptors - Check

French chef on a stick bug with a gun that shoots velociraptors - check check check and check

Ugh, stop typing. Please. The idea that if one original title fails, it means original ideas should be avoided, is f'ing retarded.

Part of the reason we don't see anything original in games is the reason we don't see anything original in movies: the big studios put a lot of money into the biggest productions now, which means they lose a lot of money if the idea is bad. Why do something daring when you can make the same old material over again and make about as much money without any risk? The sweeping new ideas are left to new studios who don't get as much exposure to main stream and hence have less chance of making the idea really work.

Lots better than recent ZPs, awesome!

"New IP" is one of the worst phrases I have ever heard. When I was a kid we said "new game".

Actually I think it was quite right to say "New IP," as they were talking about a game based on new ideas, as opposed to a game that is a sequel to other games. IP of course stands for Intellectual Property, usually referring to a games entire canon. So Assasin's Creed would be a "new IP," while Splinter Cell 16 would not be, though clearly both would be considered "new games."

Then again, I'm sure I said "new game" as a kid too.

i know it's wrong but right now i want to see Morgan Webb doing an erotic Wii slink-and-slither to Jungle Boogie. woof. i r a sick puppy.

Sort of *dead. Not hard to fix, though.
