With E3 about to blow through the wall of timeyiness. It would now be a good idea for me to look at what we think we know will be at E3 proper. 

Microsoft 

Ugh I have to say that is one of the most stupid name changes I have ever heard, and I remember the Revolution to Wii name change, I just don’t understand why you would name something a name that when typed into Google will get you a spelling change. But I’m still looking forward to the tech powering the portmanteau because the one thing my TV really need is yet another camera pointing at me while I look desperately into a screen.

Then there is the Rumoured Xbox 360 Slim, a piece of hardware that looks like someone took a shitty pc case that cost £20 an decided that it needed a good kicking in. I also love the fact that the console that has numerous problems with heat related problems is being made smaller. But hey that don’t matter no because the inhale in this one is FUCKING EXSTREME!!! 

But what about the games no one asks. Well crackdown 2 is out soon so I expect at least a mention, and then there is Dead Rising 2 and its Half-bred Arcade son. I wholly expect that the Arcade game will be part of the “Summer of Fun 2010” Or “Hotties Bebop” whatever they call the summer thing; you know when the good Live Arcade games come out. We might get a peak of Gears of War 3 but then that might rub Halo Reach up a bit wrong. I’m sure that Microsoft knows that backing Call of Duty: Black Ops would be toxic because they kind of get the idea that the people who watch this don’t like the whore that is Treyarch that much.

I am really look forward to MGS Rising mainly because I like all that Raiden stands for, he is Kojima's giant middle finger to the fans that like security during their video games, so making him the best thing in MGS 4 was the best thing he could of done.

Sony

Nintendo

Nintendo you have 2ish hours to show me if I will care about the Wii for the next 12 months. If the leaked Zelda stuff is correct then you already have lost me.

“The game tells a story several hundred years before Ocarina of Time. It also answers the question of how the Mastersword came into being.”

By invoking the name of Ocarina of Time they are intentionally trying to sucker fans of the series into buying the game, the last time they did that it was called Twilight Princess and that was so effing great.

“Sometimes you have to "draw" a specific symbol on a door with your sword, to open it.  The Bow-Control is very similar to the Bow-Control in Wii Sports Resort, as the script shows.”

Great gimmicks that is what will revitalise the Zelda series on consoles, this just sound like a last ditch attempt at making the Zelda series hit big on the Wii, i expect to never Link or Zelda on the main console unless it is in a crossover game.
