Yeah, no surprises here. I'm more disappointed than anything. I was hoping it would still turn out pretty good, but it's just a mess.

The thing that surprises me the most is that Gearbox has more or less admitted that they put very little effort into the game. They took the mess that 3D Realms had made and just cleaned it up for release. I guess that's a reasonable strategy if the game is actually good, but in its current state it would've only made sense to scrap what's there and start from scratch.

I guess we'll see where Gearbox takes the series in its next iteration, but this one doesn't imbue much confidence in me that Gearbox will do a good job.

I'm loving that Donkey Kong is available on the 3DS. I'm really tempted to buy it despite already owning the cartridge. We'll see if I give in to my temptation.

This thing is still blowing me away. Absolutely gorgeous, wish I could've seen it in person.

lol sweet troll, bro.

My favorite part was shutting it off.

Now that I just finished Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it might be time to finally dive into Mass Effect. I'll have to run it by Chessa and see if she's down. Tomorrow we'll be started something new, one way or another.

Hey guys, thanks for coming out. We're all done now.

Sorry that the game wasn't a bit more interesting, we're pretty disappointed in it as well. Maybe next time we get something in this early, we'll have something more interesting to show.

Me too. Videos make the game look absolutely gorgeous. It's sad that Nintendo has become associated with sub par graphics. This hasn't traditionally been the case, so it'll be nice to see that changed up in the coming generation.

I wish they had some more significant titles playable on the floor, because the ones being shown don't really cater to the crowd that's experiencing them. Not sure how Nintendo didn't realize that before shipping off to LA this year...

I'm semi-excited for this game. I've enjoyed the series and the art style shown here is really nice, but I much prefer 3D Rayman to 2D.

The worst part of this? Media outlets with some cash to spend just grab some booth space and in turn have early access to everything. E3 is fun, but it sure can be frustrating when you are busting your ass to get good coverage for your readers.
