E3 will be here this week! I am so psyched about it. I won't be there of course, but it will result in the unveiling of the Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Revolution.

The X-Box 360 was unveiled yesterday, not that i'm that interested in it. I'm still really annoyed that Microsoft is even involved in the console gaming market the way that they have taken over and butchered so many other markets. Needless to say i haven't supported them in this gaming generation, and i won't be in the next either. On to more important things.

The new PS3 will be interesting to see. I'm assuming that it will have standard wireless controllers (as is planned for Microsoft and Nintendo), it's expected to have wireless internet (also for the MS and Big N). The really imprortant PS3 things still to unveil are what it looks like, how it plays, and the new (hopefully) controller. The Cell processor promises to really put out some gaming power. It would be a blast to see it in action.

What i'm really interested in (as are many others) is what Nintendo has in store for the Revolution. They've been making some big promises talking about how it's not so important how powerful the system is as that they will revolutionize the way that games will be played. They did it on numerous occasions such as with the introduction of the first wireless controllers and of touchscreen gaming and voice recognition standard in the Nintendo DS. I'm already excited about the gyroscopic controls and pressure sensitivity in the the new controllers, and the latest news is that the Revolution will only be about 1 inch thick. That's pretty thin to hold all of what has been promised including a hard drive. What really has be curious though is what the big "Revolution" is going to be. Rumors point to 3D play in a whole new way, but we have yet to see what's really in store. Only time will tell for sure at this point. So on to the new week and E3.
