World of Warcraft is AMAZING. I don't know where to start. I suppose I can continue to talk in short, general sentences with no meaningful thought or development. Initially, I rolled as a Blood Elf Warlock named "Ginnyweasley" on an Oceanic server. The first thing that struck me was the art in this game. The architecture present in the Blood Elf Starting Zone is so mystifying and unique of any game I've played, and it looks so goregoeous on my Laptop that is in no way conditioned for games. Silvermon City shares the same look on a grander scale. Beyond the graphics though, choosing your class and race is a very intimate experience. I ended up choosing a warlock based on the description provided by the game and the ability to always have a pet summoned to fight for you. I got to LV 36 before I decided to change it up a bit and decided to move on to a PVP server and roll as a Human Paladin. Being able to run into battle with some of the heaviest armor available is a stark contrast to the way you play a Warlock. I managed to get my Paladin up to LV 22 before my free month subscription ended and now I have to wait until I get payed on Thursday to pick up a Player Card from Radioshack or somewhere. But enough MMO talk for you console kiddies, let's move onto E3! Let's go in order of the confrences I was most happy with to the ones I was least happy with. With that said....

I think Microsoft had the strongest E3 by far. Whenever I watch a conference by them, I feel like I made the right coice each and every time. The constant stream of high quality titles coming out on a monthly basis is uttterly insane. Fallout 3? Do want. Resident Evil 5 with online co-op and hot new female lead? DO WANT. BANJO KAZOOIE: NUTS AND BOLTS AND THE ORIGINAL BANJO-KAZOOIE COMING TO XBLA WITH REDONE TEXTURES, STOP N SWAP, LEADERBOARDS, AND ACHIEVEMENTS. DO MOTHERFUCKING WANT. *ahem* Seriously the content is insane and Rare is delivering a new downloadable title, new Banjo, and new Viva Pinata within months of eachother? *explodinghead.gif* The cherry on top was the announcment that Final Fantasy XIII would be multiplatform. While that is certainly exciting, I'm more excited for Versus XIII (which is essentially Kingdom Hearts) but I'm happy more people will get to enjoy the game, and if the combat is horrid, I'll pick it up as well.

I'll abstain from commenting on Sony's conference because I don't own the PS3, however I was mighty impressed by Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, and MAG. If I was a PS3 owner, I'd be content with what was shown.

Ready for some Nintendo hate? I'm feeling the flames itching on my fingertips. I don't go into E3 conferences with big expectations, I want to begin my analysis with this. After Nintendo's E3 2007 love fest of Wii Fit, I figured 2008 was going to be the same. But boy was I wrong. Nintendo was flatout EMBARASSING. Wii Sports Resort: The Tech Demo with a peripheral we are going to force on you for our future games! Animal Crossing: City Folk; the third game in the series that looks EXACTLY THE SAME as the previous two entries and no evolution such as MMO capabilites! And finally, Wii Music! The latest in the Wii Blank series that serves no real satisfying gameplay and can be summed up like this:
