I'm back. E3 was, as usual, both exhilirating and frustrating. I got to see some great games and catch up with some old friends. However, there's quite a bit I missed, and of course there's the fatigue associated with walking that much.
Probably the best things I saw there were the new King Kong game and UT2007. I didn't see as much Xbox 360 or PS3 as I would have liked, but it's too early for the really good stuff. Next years will have a ton of software for both. The 'Waiting in Line' game was the thing I played the most this year. I must have spent a good 8 hours in line for something or other. Thankfully I had my PSP to pass the time.
I had two celebrity sightings. Greg Grunberg of Alias (one of my favorite shows) was watching the King Kong preview at the same time we were; and Warren Spector stood right next to us as we waited for the Zelda preview (which was great, I have photos I'll post later).
All in all it was a great show and I'm glad I went, even though I spent a ton of money to do so. I'm not sure yet whether I'll go back next year. I guess it depends on where I am with Duffers and how things are going.
A big shout-out to the GameSpy peeps. Let's not wait another 4 years...
