IGN’s Tal Blevins wrote a well-thought-out editorial about how E3 was a shadow of its former self and that something had to be done soon, to save it. He seems to feel that, based on his 15 years of attending every E3 in history, that the summit has lost its way, and its excitement. He’s clamoring for pretty pictures and booth babes. He lays out a plan to save E3.
So you can listen to Tal, the most E3′d man in gaming journalism, and accept that E3 is dead, or you can take it from me, a gaming blogger/regular guy who just attended his first E3 ever… and loved it.
I spent only 10 minutes with Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway at E3, hardly enough time to fully evaluate the game, but that doesn’t stop me from passing judgment on its hellacious, horrible, broken, annoying, impossible, and out-of-place control scheme for the PS3. Excruciating details, post-jump.
For the Sarcasticgamer faithful, you may remember our first meeting with Chet from Valve when the crew played Left 4 Dead at Quakecon and our first interview with Chet way back in Episode 4 of the Red show.
Doc and Dave met up with Chet again at E3 for an expanded look at Left 4 Dead. Check out the video below.
For more great videos from Doc and Dave have a look here for our Youtube Fiesta and here for our Veoh Fietsa.
E3 may have finished, but that doesn’t stop us from posting late videos. In this latest vid, Doc and Dave get some hands on time with Fallout 3 and our resident Bethesda expert, Truth and Justice, lends a hand with the proceedings.

Hey guys, I’m here with some late videos from E3 2008. As is obvious from the title in this piece of visual media, Doc and Dave recap all the big events from Nintendo’s presser and boy was there some big news!

This time last year, Sarcastic Gamer proclaimed media ass kissers as 2007’s Best of E3 for their ridiculous fawning over Reggie Fils-Aime and Nintendo’s E3 press conference. This year, Sarcastic Gamer has taken a step back, looked at everything that’s offered, from Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, Fable 2, and all of the other number 2 games out there, watched all of the press conferences, and viewed all of the trailers to come up with:
Good morrow fine Sirs and Madams. It has come to my attention that you may well be feeling a certain qualmness with regards to Mirror’s Edge nausea inducing capabilities, but rest assured, the fine folks over at DICE have found a veritable bouquet of solutions that are positively bursting with ingenuity and charisma that aspire to resolving the conundrums at hand in a swift and mannered fashion.
I, like many people, was extremely disappointed with Nintendo’s E3 media briefing. The company promised a game (that’s right, just one) that would keep hardcore gamers occupied this holiday season. That game? “Animal Crossing: City Folk.” Sorry Reggie, I think I will pass.
Aside from “Animal Crossing,” Nintendo introduced “Wii Sports Resort,” “Wii Music,” “Shaun White Snowboarding” and a bunch of other crap I couldn’t care less about. So where is the hardcore game that I should be excited about? It certainly didn’t show up at the press conference.
Well, it took a few additional days, but Shigeru Miyamoto was kind enough to reveal a game that many Nintendo fans have been clamoring for. (more…)
Since Veoh doesn’t work in all countries we’ve created a brand new video fiesta with 4 (!!!) Youtube videos, so now everyone can watch Doc and Dave’s E3 coverage direct from their PC….well, some of it anyway.
Out of all the games scheduled to be hoisted up for praise at this years E3, only one had me twitching for more details. That game, of course, is Little Big Planet. You know, that game I brazenly said would be the PS3’s game of the year. With some stellar new gameplay videos and some great stage demo’s, I feel pretty justified in my GOTY declaration.

After playing Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, which both took suckatude to previously unimaginable heights, what little faith I had in movie tie-in games died. You push a game to be released at the same time as a movie and you get garbage. Which is why the recent announcement by developer GRIN is so special. Rather than give us yet another game that only a blind mother could love, GRIN is working on a Wanted movie tie-in game that, obviously, will NOT be limited by a film release window. Considering how wicked the comic book and the film were (storyline and acting notwithstanding), I would definitely be interested in this title.
