Yeah, there will be no more E3 blogs. I just plain cannot be bothered. I'm not in a people person mood, I can't focus long enough and that would reflect on my work. You deserve the best blogs written to the best of my ability. So sorry. But hey! E3 was a washout and there's always next year!

Elsewhere, two new additions. Metal Gear Solid 4. Yeah, I bit the bug. But it is quite good. One of the more accessible Metal Gear's. Mostly for Metal Gear Online. Which rocks! Also, there's Warhawk. Haven't tried it yet, but summer holidays are around the corner!

Oh yes, the summer hols. This means: More posts, a review, tonnes of cinema and GAME visits and the absolute boredom that comes with it. Can't wait, me self.

Two brief film reviews. First: Wall-E. What can I say? Beautiful. Seriously. I'll delve further in on a later date. 5 out of 5. Then: 28 Days Later. Great film, but completely ruined by the ending. That killed my enjoyment completely. 3 out of 5. Full reviews will be posted on my blog at a later date. insertcoolwebadresshere.blogspot.com

I will blog again at a later date. Probably tomorrow. If I can be pulled off of Metal Gear Online.

CP out.

Continuing with my mass E3 coverage is the Sony Press Conference and I was determined to see it in full. With pen this time in hand, speakers in optimal position and anger at sudden loss of work over, I was ready. Sony are usually very tardy with their arrivals and this year's conference was no exception. 5 minutes late they began with an ace montage of PS3 hits before Sony of America Jack Tretton came on. He is a much more likable man than Reggie ever was. He boasted that this was THE year of the PS3 (even though they and the critics said the exact same thing last year) and proceded to give us a history lesson on the Playstation year so far. How Blu-Ray beat HDVDVD (in a war more pointless than the console one), How MGS4 heart Blu-Ray and how people buy the PS3 as a multimedia system aswell as a gaming one. Then he said there would be some exclusive games available? JESUS H CHRIST, BATMAN!

So up came Resistance 2 and let me be one of the few to say, it'll kick ass! The demo was sweet and reminds me of Cloverfield. This will rock! We knew Little Big Planet would make a showing but I didn't expect it like this. The game was demoed by covering more of the presentation! So we got to know sales and revenue were rising, whilst watching Sack Boy run across the screen. Some of the more noteworthy news, Latin America will finally get PS3's. I never knew they never had them, but good for them. Also, Platinum (or Greatest Hits for American readers) is back. For $29.99 you get a load of alright games that every one already owns. Little Big Planet looks just as great as usual, mind. It also got a standing ovation. Finally in this section, BUZZ! PSP was announced. It could work.

So we move on to the PSN. It now has 10 million users and had 180 million downloads since it's inception. Why do I say this? Your guess is as good as mine. But even bigger news was about the new Ratchet game. Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest For Booty will be a PSN download exclusive. It will be episodic and is currently $15. Not a whole lot new by the looks of it, but it's Ratchet so it will be awesome. Then we got a montage about upcoming PSN games that didn't really interest me. Except Flower. I know nothing about it but it looks beautiful. Infact, all of the way through I was thinking of Team America and, "Montage". But then came, GT TV. With: TOP GEAR! POLYPHONY CREATED CONTENT! HD! PPV! WHO GIVES A DAMN? I DO! It's only on GT5 Prologue and is out August 1st.

Speaking of films, the PSN store has a new feature. You can buy or rent films. It has every good distribution company under the sun, in HD or SD and you can also get TV episodes. You can transfer these films onto the PSP as well. It may be a bit pricy but the groundwork is definately there. Best of all: IT'S AVAILABLE NOW (in the US)! Also coming, Home. Yes, it still exists. Yes, open beta is still a while off but my god, does it look good.

Next up, PSP. Sales have now hit 13 million and what good have they got coming? Erm... a new bundle and Resistance: Retribution. Yeah... Mind you, Resistance seems alright. Doing a Killzone: Liberation and moving 3rd Person means it could be well suited for the PSP. And that's it. Patapon and LocoRoco may be getting sequels, but that hardly sets my world on fire.

So we come back to the PS3. The line-up for the rest of the year looks great. Fallout 3, Prince of Persia, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, SOCOM: Confrontation, The Agency, Quantum Of Solace, Soul Calibur IV, Ghostbusters, Killzone 2, Guitar Hero: World Tour, Resident Evil 5 and Mirror's Edge. But then Sony sucker-punched us four times. First with the announcement of DC Universe Online. Created with aiding by Jim Lee (whose a cool guy) this MMORPG by Sony Online Entertainment involves you creating your own Hero or Villan from scratch and battle alongside your favourite supermen or women. It looks good.

Next (in order of anticipation) was InFamous. It is simply a superhero origin story. You get the chance to save the city or help finish it off. This is by Sucker Punch; the guys who did Sly Cooper series which I am a huge fan of, and there is just as much contrast here as when Insomniac went from Ratchet to Resistance. But it looks awesome. Then, the big one (or so we thought). Jack Tretton finally made it official. God Of War III is coming to the PS3! Scribbled on my notes are repeatedly: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! No gameplay. Just a short teaser but it still looks awesome! It's out next year.

Finally. This is the big one. I have seen the future of on-line gaming. It has 256 players at any one time in a single game. No AI bots. They will be split into 8 man squads and be strengthend as characters. There will be faction based gameplay and it's being developed by Zipper Interactive. It is called MAG (Massive Action Game) and it's due out next year.

And with that, it was official. 2008 will be the year of the PS3. But my only concern is, what about the years beyond? Games

Announced/Demoed: Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, BUZZ! PSP, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest For Booty, Crash Commando, Fat Princess, Pixel Junk, Pain: Amusment, Flower, SIREN: Blood Curse, Ragdoll Kung-Fu, GT TV, Home, Resistance: Retribution, Patapon 2, LocoRoco 2, DC Universe Online, InFamous, God Of War III, MAG (Massive Action Game)

A/N: I had this finished yesterday but a sudden maintenance closure prevented me from sharing. So don't tell me I'm jumping on a bandwagon.

Here I go, my first E3. I may be a day late but oh well. I boot up the laptop, plug in the speakers and check the live stream to see if the Sony Press Conference is on. No, surprisingly. Nintendo have just started. So with a big sigh and the hope Nintendo will give me a reason that isn't No More Heroes to buy a Wii, I click the vid feed.

And what do I see?

Some punk kid trying to snowboard.

Yep, my Nintendo Press Conference footage kicked off with the announcement of Shaun White's Snowboarding for the Wii. A pretty average game by the look of it and will certainly give SSX no sleepless nights. And whilst it's nice that the balance board isn't just being used to wipe Personal Trainers off the face of the earth, it's hardly a good enough reason for me to want a Wii. Then came Nintendo's big announcement for the Wii. Animal Crossing: City Life. Cue collective groan from the entire hardcore gaming club. The Wii Speech option sounds great but it's only a matter of time before 13-year old American's start hooplaing the place.

Then Reggie came on. And I agree with the rest of the world, he is annoying. He drew up some make believe sales stats and said the Wii is the biggest selling console in the entire world. He also noted that the Wii has the biggest library of games ever! What Reggie failed to mention whilst attempting to shove his head up his own ass is that: 1) That's like beating two quadruple amputees at Swingball and 2) At least 200 of the 388 games available are either crappy movie-to-game adaptations or shoddy mini-game packages.

Then he decided to shut up and show us a few games. First, OH SWEET MOTHER OF LORD YES!! Incase you don't know what I mean, Star Wars: Clone Wars will be coming to the Wii. Before you all think I've gone mad, let me qualify my statements by saying that this is based off the 20x3 minute animation series and not the Attack Of The Clones film. Can you also say, One-On-One Lightsaber Duels? Then there was the announcement that a new Raving Rabbidsgame coming and it's nice to know that Ubisoft actually care about this series. The Wii's innovative gadgets are being put to full use and whilst the balance board probably wasn't designed to sit on, it does look like good fun. Oh, and someone tell Wii developers that they don't need to use oblivious 4-year old in their trailers anymore. Finally, Call of Duty: World At War. It'll suck. NEXT!

Reggie left and the woman came to joy from the press and people sad enough to be watching. She came and said, "Hey, hardcore DS owners. Are you tired of being screwed over by us? Cos we sure as hell are!". Then came the 3 DS games announcements. First, Spore DS. If ever there was a Will Wright game that deserved to be on the DS, this is it. I'm very pleased. Then we got the announcement that Guitar Hero: On Tour had sold 400,000 copies in North America in the first week. Cue hand cramp jokes from audience. So we get a sequel, Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades. With song sharing. Just imagine how it works. But those were nothing compared to this. Grand Theft Auto is coming to the DS. No really. GRAND THEFT AUTO IS COMING TO DS! Grand Theft Auto: Chinatownsounds awesome and I'll just need to see gameplay to be backed up. This definitely makes me regret selling my DS. She then left us with something for left over casual audiences. Airpirt App and more Can't Decide What To Eat?Let Us Tell You What You're Going To Eat.

Reggie then came back to a collective groan from audiences worldwide. He demoed the Wii Motion Plus. It's meant to make your Wiimote even more accurate but that'll probably just make FPS's more annoying. He demonstrated this piece of hardware by revealing Wii Sports Resort. We saw three games: Doggie Disc Throwing, Splasdown Rip-off and Fencing Over A Shallow Pool Of Water. During this Reggie managed to do the following things: Force emotion, Suck and look like a pillock. He also called himself, "The Regginater". I'm sorry, but that's just hilarious. I'm gonna call him that everytime I see him. Well done Reggie! You've managed to embarrass yourself and the company yet again. Resort looks like it'll be the same as Wii Sports 1. Fun for one drunken night.

Then they all left the stage for smoke and strobe lighting. Nintendo's Big announcement is..... (F-Zero, F-Zero, F-Zero) A Drum Simulator!? The...?! Oh no, wait. It's Wii Music. Rock Band, eat your heart out! Actually, I shouldn't slag it off, it looks quite good. If Rock Band never makes it to the PS3 in the UK, I'll get this instead. The ceremony was then closed out by Mr. Nintendo and some unknowns playing an out-of-time version of the Mario Theme.

This year, Nintendo seems to have something going for them, with a great line-up of games for the hardcore and casual. Cha-Ching! Congratulations Nintendo! You can now count the number of reasons to own your console on two hands.

Games Announced: Wii Music, Wii Sports Resort, Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades, Wii Motion Plus, Can't Decide What To Eat? sequel, Airport application, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV, Call of Duty: World At War Wii, Shaun White's Snowboarding, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown.

Later, my Sony Press Conference thoughts, Thursday will be Microsoft and Friday will be the games.

So I was mucking about on GTA IV (as you do) when I decided to p*ss the cops off on the beach. So with a 2 star wanted level I drove around the playground thing in circles for ages. It was a lot of fun.

So much fun, in fact, that I decided to make a new game out of it.

This is how you Niko's Police Donuts'

You find a nice looking working motor. And knik it.

Then you p*ss off the cops for a 2 star wanted level.

They'll be on your arse tight. SO LEG IT!

Get to the beach on Firefly in Broker.

Find the kiddies appratus and wait for the cops to get on the beach.

The drive around the thing in circles repeatedly.

The rules are: You are not allowed out of your car.

You're not allowed to hit the brake unless you are reversing or hitting the handbrake.

You do not get off of the beach.

You continue to do this until your car falls asleep for good. Then the clock stops.

For every cop car you disable, add 10 seconds to the time.

The longer you keep doing this, the more points you get.

SIMPLE!

You get two attempts. Here are my scores.

Attempt 1: 2:51 (no cars disabled)

Attempt 2: 6:04 + 20 seconds (2 cop cars disabled)= 6:24

Can you do better? Let me know in the comments box.

So Jack Thompson faces permanent disbarment from Florida Bar. This means: no silly court cases, no funny news stories and RockStar have one less person to deal with.

I may sound ridiculous, but I'm gonna miss Jacky boy.

Come on guys! Be honest, who loved laughing at his ultimate idiocy? When there was a slow news day, here's Jacky to make us laugh at his pathetic attempt to end the 1st amendment.

When we all felt dumb, here's Jacky to remind us there is a much bigger moron running around the US of A.

So bye Jacky boy! I'm gonna miss ya! Now break out the party poppers!

Also, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY BLOGS!!!

One is on games, the other isn't.

Games first.

Yes I'm thinking of getting it. Somehow. I just look at the setlist and think, wow. Mostly for the opening acts. I don't really like Aerosmith but the track list is convincing me otherwise. Plus GAME are giving you a free Union Jack face plate when you pre-order! Only problem is it's a FULL-PRICE EXPANSION PACK. And since I don't like Aerosmith much, playing through mostly their songs could be a pain. Thoughts please!

Now non-game related one. It's about Charlotte. Yes I know you're all getting sick of me going on about it but the thing is... I really like her. A bit too much. I'm becoming a bit too protective of her. Worrying about her and missing her when she's not around. She's the one person who I can just let all of this sh*t I put up drop down and talk like how I really am. She's really funny, charming, strong and sweet. I just don't know how I feel about her though. Something tells me I love her whilst another tells me I just really like her. I just don't know anymore.

Oh, and I have a new spot for all of my cr*p. It's pretty cosy over there. And I like it. Mainly cos I can say whatever the hell I like. It's a goodbye of sorts. I may publish some of my cleaner work here and I'll still yap on about news stories but for now, it's my new home.

Leave your thoughts and advice below and I'll see you whenever. Thanks!
