I know, right? Maybe the cleaning lady at Sony HQ accidentally tossed them out when she was asked to dispose the Move hardware.

I was a bit surprised we didn't see Bioshock Infinite at all.

Well...look how well that worked out for them.

OVERHEARD BACKSTAGE AT NINTENDO'S CONFERENCE:

I don't know about you all but the sneak peek of Star Wars 1313 weirdly reminds me of what it was like when we saw the first Dark Sector trailer, (the original trailer before they changed the game).

I'm hearing some rumors that Microsoft's next console is going to be subsidized and will have a starting price of $99 and two year contract. Not sure how I feel about this but I can see it happening.

Loved the Uncharted theme playing over Tomb Raider. Funny stuff!

"Did I mention? It's a lot like Heavy Rain."

I hear yeah. I hope I'm wrong in the end.

So many games have ripped off Aliens that a proper Aliens game in 2012 sorta feels a little on the generic side to me. Its much like Tomb Raider now feeling like an Uncharted ripoff.

Yep. Variety is key. If it's going to be eight hours of slowly following people around looking at your cell phone it'll get stale in a hurry.

That's a very good point. It would be nice to see this guy work with a team that's a little less focused on head shots and rocket launchers.

Watch Dogs made a great impression with me. Hands down one of personal favorites of E3. But lets not get too excited just yet. Lets talk about what they actually showed us.

This guy mystifies me. On the one hand he's a certified genius and on the other hand his games, while fun, are pretty much lowest common denominator stuff. It's like having Einstein's brain inside King Kong's body.

Thanks. Just checked it. So no more stars? Lame.

There's going to be a new commenting system? I missed that.

Is The Unfinished Swan coming out this year?

I haven't played anything on a regular basis in months and off the top of my head I don't think I'll be picking up any new games for the rest of the year, so yeah, I'm pretty bored. On the other hand I'm getting out of the house, (err apartment), more which is definitely a good thing.

So this years E3 is not without it's share of great games but it's also pretty damn underwhelming. But the question is, is it more underwhelming than we expected it to be?

Yeah, it's funny because I'm sure both games will be solid gameplay wise, but I don't necessarily need more of that specific gameplay in this console life cycle.
