Evaluating Nintendo’s E3 2011 Conference

June 7, 2011

Unlike their rivals, the team at Nintendo had plenty of surprises in store for their E3 2011 conference, and most of them impressed and excited upon reveal. There’s no doubt that when this E3 is looked back upon, the most vivid memories will all be of Nintendo’s show. I felt the conference began rather slowly […]

Evaluating Sony’s E3 2011 Conference

June 6, 2011

Compared with Microsoft’s conference earlier today, Sony’s was a miraculous tour de force. Compared with conferences of years past, it wasn’t anything special. Sony’s E3 2011 conference was competent, but ultimately not memorable, and not the kind of performance that “wins” you an E3. It was nice to see Jack Tretton and Kaz Hirai out […]

Evaluating Microsoft’s E3 2011 Conference

June 6, 2011

Put simply, this has to be one of the single dullest conferences I’ve ever watched. I’ve seen worse shows, like Nintendo 2008 and Sony 2006, but those were train-wrecks of such magnitude they had a legitimate amusement factor to them.

May 17, 2011

Nintendo’s E3 press conference will be held on June 7, 2011 at 9am PST. We know the company will be debuting its new, much rumoured about, Project Café home console, but not much else. I’ve decided to let a combination of educated guesses and wishful thinking overwhelm my senses, and have formulated the following list […]
