Mass Effect will be awesome, no doubt. The more I read about Spore the more I think it's just a hyped up RTS that "procedurally" creates content (which is probably cool if you are a programmer, but makes hardly any difference to a gamer).

Assassin's Creed made my pants a little tight. Overall I was underwhelmed by E3 this year.

If I don't have to whip my arms around and stand up to putt/lob/slash attack the Wii's motion control will be good. Otherwise the novelty will wear off really quickly for me.

*Please, before anyone makes a snide comment notice I said for me.*

Yeah, I've seen images of Bioware's upcoming game a long time ago and have been interested since then. Ever since I played Bioware's KOTOR, I've been hooked for their next-gen project. The retro-like armor of the main guy looks ugly, would prefer if they change that, but that small detail is insignificant to the entire game.

I agree the same thing on Spore. Past a certain point, it's just another RTS. I think it's overhyped because of the footage and details they gave only on the beginnings of the game where you start out as something tiny and develop all the way up, but those phases probably won't last very long.

I also feel Gears of War is being overhyped. It looks like any other FPS with an over-the-shoulder camera, and the main idea of "take-cover" has been done already by a game on PS2 (can't remember the name off-hand right now).

WII ALL THE WAY
