At the Electronic Entertainment Expo last week all renowned video game makers showed off their latest hardware and titles for the approaching year with the intention to appeal to both the hard-core and casual gamer. Let's see who were the winners and the losers.[more]
Most original game goes to Electronic Arts' "Spore," designed by legendary game maker Will Wright designer of The Sims and SimCity.
The biggest disappointment at E3 was Sony because of its long and boring conference and its unreasonable price ($499 to $599, depending on the configuration), for the PlayStation 3, which didn't manage to impress.
The prettiest game is Electronic Arts' Montreal-based studio "Army of Two," that represents as the name implies a two-person cooperative strategic action game that drops players in some of the world's most risky hotspots.
Enthusiasts at the show were also pretty excited about several new titles including; "Hellgate: London," "Resistance: Fall of Man," "Justice League Heroes," "Too Human" and "Scarface."
Massively-Multiplayer gamers will be able to choose from dozens of new titles new titles like "Vanguard," "Huxley," "Gods & Heroes," "Tabula Rasa," "Test Drive Unlimited" and "Archlord."
The hard-core audience wasn't forgotten either. Among the games planned for release are "Halo 3," "Final Fantasy XIII," "Grand Theft Auto 4," "Metal Gear Solid 4," "Enemy Territory: Quake Wars," "Rainbow Six Vegas" and "Neverwinter Nights 2."
