Well, it only seems fitting that I do coverage on all of the big company's in the running and EA. Because leaving EA out is a cardinal sin that will get me killed most probably. Any ways, here's the Playstation crap.
Well, coming out of the gate and leaping over the first hurdle is Playstation with the release of a bundle pack for Destiny. The system will come with the game Destiny, which doesn't look that bad to be quite honest, any who, let's move on to the next item on the agenda. Which is the Destiny beta which will be launched on 17th of July which is the perfect opportunity to see what it's all about.
Entwined is made by one of Sony's new little brand things and it looks OK I guess, doesn't interest me so I'll leave that. Sounds like a Disney movie more than anything to be honest.
Little Big Planet 3. NOOOOOOOOOOO. OH GOD PLEASE NO. NO. NOOOOOOOOOO.
As you can tell from that, I'm not looking forward to it unless Stephen Fry is voicing it, but not even he can save the repetitiveness of the series. LBP 2 was a push to say the least.
Same goes for Magicka 2, a great game that has no need for a sequel what so ever, but it's intrigued me to say the least. Bloodborne looks like it's a cash in on Dark Souls, but it's a "spiritual successor" to Demon Souls, so it should be good.
Far Cry 4 and Dead Island 2, more mediocre tat. Far Cry 4 didn't need another sequel and Dead Island was awful, so, staying away from the both of those. Maybe a quick look into Far Cry 4 though. Diablo III, Battlefield...uhh. Give me something worth looki-what's that? Tim Schafer is making Grim Fandango for the PS4.
BUY A PS4 10/10 LIKE SYRIM WITH GUNS.
As you can hopefully tell, I'm a fan of Grim Fandango because it's a great game. Devolver Digital are making a load of games such as Hotline Miami 2 and Titan Souls so that'll be great.
Let it Die genuinely confused me. A lot. Not sure what to make of it, so we'll have to wait and see. Abzu and No Man's Sky don't look too interesting to me, lots of indie games for PS4 which is nice to see. Free To Play games such as Planetside 2 and Loadout are coming to PS4 which is awesome.
Like they say, leave the best 'till last. Let's take a look at what's worth trying:
Destiny Beta
Magicka 2
Bloodborne
Far Cry 4
Grim Fandango
All of Devolver Digital's Games
I'd say E3's winner so far is Sony because of all those interesting titles, much better when comparing it to Microsoft's "meh" conference.

E3 Microsoft Roundup. Mediocre Game after Tasteless Tat.
Oh great, E3 is here and now it's gone. So let's do a round up of the games and stuff shown. Let's begin.
Microsoft - Xbox
Well, Microsoft zoomed off onto the track and fell at the first hurdle with another "new" Call of Duty. There are over 20 games in the franchise, including ports over to the Nintendo DS and iOS devices. So, what's so great and new about this one? Nothing. At all. Nothing changed, didn't notice anything even if they did do something. The fact that the crowd began to CHEER when they announced DLC to Xbox first was absurd. Is it really that much of a fan war when one console can brag to another about spending £20 on a couple maps and a gun?
Generic Forza Game etc...moving swiftly on.
Halo 1, 2, 3 and 4, all in a HD upgrade for Xbox One! No thanks, seen as though they seem to have left out Halo Reach and ODST, I'll stick to my Xbox and Xbox 360 versions thank you. Oh yeah, Halo 5 was "announced". 100 Multiplayer maps on the box set thing for Halo. That's great, but they'll be mixed in with each other, so at one point you may be playing Blood Gulch and the next you're on one of the mediocre Halo 4 maps. Not bad, not good. May be worth a look if you got rid of your Xbox 360 to get the Xbox One, you idiot.
Ori and the Blind Forest. It's not my type of game but I'll check it out, looks nice. It was probably the most good looking game on the roster of Xbox.
Sunset Overdrive. Ehh...it's OK. Doesn't excite me because it's just far too over the top, but let's see how it goes. Another Assassin's Creed? Oh for God's sake. Then all that bother over the "No Female Character" stuff, so, not checking the new Assassin's Creed out. Another Dragon Age game, never played it, so not interested.
Fable Legends. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. NO. WHY would you do this? "Well, we may as well give the player control of the AI seen as though we're no good at making enemies in the game." Terrible idea, it might work, but not for me. Rise of the Tomb Raider, nope. Not taking any chances after what they've done to the Tomb Raider franchise.
Witcher 3, much like Dragon Age, I haven't played it but might have a quick look at it. Another Tom Clancy game. Probably just another generic one like most of the others. Crackdown! Because we needed a mediocre sequel to a sequel of a game nobody remembered. First Crackdown, good. Second Crackdown, pretty much the same but with zombies. Crackdown the Third. No ta.
So, let's see here. Mediocre game after mediocre game. Let's list the ones worth looking at, shall we?
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Ori and the Blind Forest
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Crackdown 3
