Nothing new - no biceps - but you can't really argue with that Christmas line-up. Nintendo: Would not stop with those news report montages. Made me a bit worried that they've got into this position, and now they really don't know what to do with it. Lack of third-party games was a bit startling, and WiiFit seemed a bit gimmicky to me. Sony: Much stronger than last year, but the Home plugging started to annoy me after a while and they didn't really have that big exclusive announcement I think everyone was expecting. Get this, too; me = major MGS fan, but I thought the trailer was over the top and generally pants. But yeah. No shocks. We were all watching for the shocks, right? Microsoft: I called it ‘corporate’.

I was puzzled... as I only saw Halo! and it doesn't look that good either... dissapointment. COD4 and Killzone2 looks so good. Another dissapointment, was that compared to killzone and various other games, Metal Gear Solid 4 just doesn't seem so appealing graphically anymore. I also wanted a revamped psp rather than the same, but a bit thinner... meh meh meh my work colleague was saying microsoft was suppose to release something.
