This does somewhat saddens me. I was hoping that I could go to E3 one day especially since I live like 10 minutes away from the LACC. However from a buisness stand point it makes sense. I mean who would want to blow all that money for just three days of advertising. It really doesn't make much sense. I also have to agree with some of the posts that state that it's not fair that Gamespot blames the people that go to the event for this down sizing. Doing that is like blaming the people who go to an amusment park for the long lines to get on the rides. It's not their fault they just want to be part of the excitement too.
1. Halo 2 (Xbox)- Just because every single person on the planet has heard of this game and it's influence in the gaming industry 2. Tony Hawk Underground (PS2)- Just the whole style to this game is way cool and nothing beats seeing way awesome tricks that would be impossible to pull off in real life. 3. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (GC)- OK so this may seem like an odd choice since it's "toon shading" may be kind of a turn off. However this Zelda had the greatest combat in any of the previous Zelda games 4. Star Wars KOTOR I and II- This series got normal people into the turn-based RPG style of playing, which was usually only designated to a small crowd of devoted and very patient individuals. That and it's great story was arguably better than that of the movies it loosley bases itself off of. 5. Splinter Cell (Xbox)- This game did so many revolutionary things in gaming that it was impossible to ignore. Great fun and excellent story written by the king of all conspiracy Tom Clancy.
