Now my impressions of the 360’s E3 showing are nothing but positive. I’m going to be selling off a lot of games to fund my post E3 must have list. Assasin’s Creed looks exceptionally promising. Mass Effect is essential. PGR4 looks glorious. Although I have no desire to go online with Halo 3’s multiplayer component, the recent footage of the single player campaign (possibly online co-op) has confirmed that as a necessary purchase. So Halo 3 and PGR4 in September, Mass Effect in November, and of course GTA IV in October – all for the 360 – not to mention Pro Evo Soccer before the end of the year too. Perhaps GTA and Pro Evo might be PS3 purchases. Perhaps the PS3 will go to fund the habit? We’ll soon find out.

Another disappointment. I’m beginning to wonder why I bought a PS3 – my 360 still gets all the gaming time. Still, a couple of trailers showed promise, noteably Killzone 2 and GT5 – speaking of which, this really can’t be in-game, can it? Half is clearly rendered, but from the shot of NYC on it appears to be game footage. Oh, and I just watched the trailer for the new MGS game… now that does look impressive, though I’ve never quite got into the MGS series. Maybe not as disappointing as I initially thought.

edit: In a bid to convince myself that I should just sell the PS3, I fired it up today – fully expecting to be underwhelmed by the whole experience, and utterly convinced that the GT:HD Concept demo would pale in comparison to Forza 2. I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Though the games are few and far between, the PS3 is a pleasant gadget to use, and GT:HD definitely held it’s own… I think there’s a chance that the long awaited GT5 could well topple Forza’s thrown. Then again, the mammoth deadzone in the controller could make Killzone 2 unplayable. I’ll hold on to it a little longer – PES and GTIV could well turn out to be better on the PS3 than the 360.
