Zelda was by far my favorite game of the whole show. But the DS games also rocked. My favorite was probably Mario Kart DS. I know when that comes out that I'm going to play it to death. The multiplayer is totally a blast, and it controls very well. I was also impressed by Trauma Center. It was really cool and made great use of the touch screen.

I didn't bother with seeing the PS3, as the line was easily 3-4 hours long at all times and it wasn't even playable. I didn't actually see the XBOX 360, but I did play one of its games. The graphics are really nice and I think they're still only on the alpha kits. The final product should be really impressive. The controller will take a little getting used to, but it's still comfortable.

Anyway, I really want to check out the other forums, so I'm going to leave off with my E3 awards and then go. If you have any questions, ask.

Sorry about the long wait. I had a really nice long post in my LJ and I posted it and it got eaten. I was pissed. So I finally got back online today and did another one. I decided to post it in both places.

Anyway, I forgot to mention above that I also got to meet a lot of the G4 hosts and get autographs. I have some really great pictures that I need to get scanned so I can post them.
