Now E3 is over we have been left with the all too familiar sense of super-positive previews and consequent frustration that these games are still so far away. As a 360 owner I was fairly unimpressed. The prominent titles on display were already at the top of my shopping list. As Mr Gerstmann said in a Bombcast, I´m sick of watching Gears Of War 2 videos. I just want to play the damn thing... Drip feeding me new weapons and characters is fine up to a point but now i just WANT IT. Similarly Resident Evil 5 looks to be a gaming highlight, but my anticipation is literally killing me, my brain slowly melting from overexposure to screenshots and videos.

I am dissapointed with E3 because it didnt change my mind about any of the games on show. Just as I already knew I would be pre-ordering Gears Of War 2, I knew I would not be purchasing Fallout 3 - and E3 did nothing except confirm my preconceptions. It was, essentially, more of the same.
