Great Idea this Bullet Points lark - It gives me a quick overview just before I go to bed so I can sleep soundly without worrying that ive missed out on something huge. Then the next day I can baffle my pals with my huge up to date E3 knowledge. Take that!
Please remember for next year too. Enjoy your E3 guys.

This is my kind of game. like 3d pacman with no monsters or high scores or power pills. I saw a preview on 1UP show (RIP) and they raved about it having slick controls and free gameplay style.

Just wanted share with you the art of Quinceying in Home which was brought to my attention by Joystiqs Griffin McElroy. Ive spent a large portion of my weekend practicing my Quincying technique and am in awe. Quinceying takes advantage of a weakness in the current console online community, namely a lack of girls. Home is currently over run with sweatshirt wearing dudes with whacky hair. Unsurprisingly, girls get mobbed and sexually harassed. Big time. My girlfriend played for 10 minutes before being intimidated by lonely dudes shouting “nice rack” & “Shake that ass”.
Enter the Quincy - the fine art of suddenly swapping an attractive female avatar (AFA) for an overweight pink haired old queen. Be sure to check out Griffin's hilarious step-by-step instructions on executing a seamless, sickening Quincy.

I like Home. I wasnt expecting too much so my expectations were not too high. What is there is well implemented and once your logged in, is a tightly controlled online experience.

Character face and body creation is powerful, limited only by hairstyles and a small clothing choice. I have been able to create a convincing representation of myself, Han solo in an Echochrome suit and Albert Einstein.

The Cinema complex is successfully realised. I loved the Watchmen trailer, a movie that Im hugely anticipating (where are the free T-shirts?). Im also potentially interested in the gaming TV channels such as Eurogamer TV.

I dont think I will buy much from the mall. I am loathed to spend any real money at all on virtual items. I would even be reluctant to fork out on an MP3 player for my appartment but this would be a tough call.

I havent spent much time in the bowling alley. The bowling lanes are always full and the experience is unfullfilling - the controls utilizing push button timing rather that sixaxis. Ive spent some time in the arcades in order to get my free echochrome suit (after 1000pts) and a blue wollen hat after level 5 on Ice Breaker. Doubt I will replay these though.

The Plaza is where the most fun is to be had. Communications with other users in well realized. headset sounds are only heard when standing in proxitmity to the wearer. text input while slow using the controller is effective and it is clear who is saying what in a group large group of Homers. This has promted me to buy a wireless keypad for easier text entry. Gestures and greetings are superb. You have to see a 50 person long running man line dance to fully apprieciate it.

Looking forward to some more gamespace areas in Europe such as Redbull Air Race and would like to more ways to customize my appartment. There is currently not much incentive to invite someone back to your appartment - Ability to play MP3s would be top of the list along with customizable pictures to hang on the walls.  I wonder if Sony has "flying penis phobia" with regards to customization?

Im in Europe and I can usally get connected after 4 or 5 tries....Admittedly, this weekend was very busy but I imagine that problem will trail off over the next weeks.

Good on ya sport. Looks like your petition woorked. Now lets petition him a job on the GIANTBOMB.com
