Hit

Shaun White did a fantastic job of trying to sell his involvement and the authenticity in his game: Shaun White’s Snowboarding. The kid hit all his marks: how the game actually feels like snowboarding, , how he tried to help the company capture how things look when you are actually snowboarding, how the game is fun. He did all this with a crazy lady beside him. Kudos young man!

Miss

To be fair, I really enjoyed Nintendo’s speech about the state of the union. They talked about how common sense makes sense, until there is a paradigm shift, and then it doesn’t make sense any more. How they were striving to change the face of gaming by creating titles that stood up to the test of time and could sell for years a la Nintendogs, how gamers will sacrifice gorgeous complex graphics if the gameplay rocks, and how to open up the gamer base to people we never thought of as gamers. This is a company intent on breaking down psychological barriers to gaming. The problem? This speech would have worked with a bunch of shareholder or CEOs. Not so much for the gaming media at E3. We just want to hear about the great games, not your vision.

Honorable Mention

The drum kit blew me away. That looks COOL.

but what do you guys think
