  Post E3 blahs. Was it really THAT bad? (The Nintendo summary)

Posted by Doug

I suffered through hours E3 recaps on TV and the interwebs this weekend. Since most of the information I received from the show during the week was from live written blogs, it was a shock to see the press conferences live (on tape).

First of all, the Nintendo presser was a complete embarrassment. The best way I can describe it is that it was like that scene from the movie "Big" where Tom Hanks sits in meeting of toy executives and after hearing their pitch for a robot shaped like a building, Tom says, "I don't get it."

The entire Nintendo presentation seemed forced, unnatural, un-cool and uninformative. Seeing all the Nintendo big-wigs playing their upcoming (ahem, in-development) products was sort of sad. I actually felt sorry for Reggie and company.

I found this on YouTube. It's not too far from the truth:

I hope PS3 game is not as easy as the rest, or as short for that matter. Don't get me wrong, but GTA 4 was really easy and short. The other GTA's were really long games, and you almost needed the cheat codes to beat them. Call of Duty 4...loved it but beat it in 4 days, and I work a 40 hour a week job. Drake's was awsome looking and fun to play, but again easy and short. I hope this will not be a trend with other franchise PS3 games. Do you agree with that? The only one that was a real challenge was Oblivion. Please let me know your thoughts, buy the way I read your colum every week in the Quik.

FROM VICTOR: Actually, I don't have a problem with games getting shorter IF the developers and publishers charge less money for those games.

Want to sell me a five hour game? Great! As long as the game only costs 20 bucks (and still has great production values).

If a game falls into the 10- to 20-hour range, then I don't mind paying full price.

  'GTA IV' is losing it's 10-point sheen?

Besides the non-shop complaints about the in-game freezes, now the 'GTA IV' glitches are appearing on YouTube. I know there are problems with every game, but weren't similar problems the reason everyone bagged on 'Vice City?'

Here are some awesome glitches (there may be some language, so be warned before you click):

Here are some more... enjoy.

I saw this on Kotaku... it made me giggle.

I think the dealer would have a better response giving away Wii's with each car!

Oh well...

  Xbox cheater comes clean on MTV.com

Posted by Doug

MTV.com has a brief interview with one of the cheaters that was busted in Microsoft's new cheat-tastic crackdown.

It's a pretty pitiful confession and I have no sympathy for him, other cheaters, pirates or haxors. Especially haxors.

Read the sob story here.
