E3 turned out to be a damp squib

E3 used to be a nuclear explosion of gaming excitement, with more new game announcements and megaton news than us poor game hacks could cope with. But that was then, and now is now. 2007's scaled down E3 was about as interesting as an accountancy firm's Christmas party. Let's go through it - there was a distinct lack of announcements, there was hardly any excitement and there was too much focus on 2007 instead of what's coming later on. Come on guys, this is the video game industry. This is entertainment! Here's hoping 2008's E3 will feature a bit more, well... life.

A lack of gamers' games for the Nintendo Wii

Before you Wii fanboys self combust, we'll lay down a disclaimer: we love the Wii. We love Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime: Corruption and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. But what we don't love are the acres upon acres of rubbish third-party mini-game led titles that we hope are piling up in a warehouse somewhere gathering dust. We wouldn't care normally, but it looks like these rubbish casual games are drowning out the excellence that could be happening on Nintendo's motion sensing console. Apart from the aforementioned games, we can only think of maybe Super Paper Mario that will be of suitable quality to long-standing Nintendo fans. Here's hoping some third-party developers will start to see the light and make games to compare with Nintendo's stuff in 2008.
