E3

**Update I just learned that the DS version of Chrono Trigger will infact contain 2 version on it. The first Version being the newly translated,2screen etc. version. The 2nd version being a direct single screen snes port.**

So about all that E3 news……Theres so much! FF13 not a ps3 exclusive is probably the biggest thing that happened. Aside from that theres the whole guide redesign. The blades are still present in the design, but the guide itself has a more flip book presentation about it. Similar to windows aero that is in vista. Major Nelson has a big write-up about the dashboard and it can be found here. Nintendo didn’t announce much aside from some more add-ons for the Wii. As for the ps3, I am not entirely sure of what they announced aside from things like home being region locked, and how GT5 more than likely wont see a date earlier than 2010. Onto to the games….So many are going to be released this year. Some of the titles that I am waiting for are Gears of War 2, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Too Human, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Rock Band 2 (hopefully i get the premium Ion Drumset ) Dead Space, and right now my current top game, Left 4 Dead. Of course i can’t leave Chrono Trigger DS out of the picture yet. Let’s just hope that square-enix wont try to charge forty dollars for it seeing as it is just going to be a direct port of the SNES version. I feel as thought that Left 4 Dead won’t make huge numbers right off the bat (still decent mind you) but it will be like numerous other valve games, and just have a strong base and just continue to sell well for a good while. Just look at how Counter-Strike 1.6 is still being played on a large scale (just don’t look at how terrible i am at it) So all and all, there was rises and falls at e3 this year. What did you get out of it? What really got you excited and waiting with eagerness?
