Man I am absolutely crushed to hear this news. I wasn’t really close with Desbreko but I have nothing but respect for the guy. He was well-composed and I’ve always enjoyed reading his thoughts on the Zelda franchise and anything gaming related. All of his youtube video game walkthroughs and no damage runs are mighty impressive and a joy to watch. He made it look so easy. I believe he was one of the first persons I’ve played Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Wii online with, and those were good times. It's a damn shame he is no longer with us. May you rest in peace, Desbreko.

I think Catwoman is going to be the other playable character based on that Gameinformer cover. I loved the first one and can't wait to see what they do with this one. [center][IMG]http://imgur.com/Q2snL.jpg[/IMG][/center]

*Comes out from lurking* How far into the game are you, James? I would say part 1 (Drakeâ??s Fortune) had a much more connected world filled with jungle areas. Meanwhile, part 2 (Among Thieves) probably had maybe a couple of chapters that were jungle themed and then it really opened up by around chapter 5 and onwards. Uncharted 2 really diversified the levels compared to the first game. I thought the first game was okay. The gunplay did get pretty repetitive towards the end. Among Thieves on the other hand was amazing. The controls felt better, the guns sounded better, the levels were much more varied, and the new stealth mechanics to take out enemies really helped in changing things up. Iâ??m pretty stoked for Uncharted 3. I don't really know what they can do that they haven't already done in Among Thieves, but I canâ??t wait to see what Naughty Dog has in store for us.

Sadly I have the same problems fighting against smaller characters. Although, Amaterasu doesn't seem too bad compared to the Servbot we fought in MvsC 2. Here's hoping there will be more normal sized characters reveal in the upcoming months.

^ Lol @ Deadpool using his own life bar to hurt his opponent. Anyway, 4 new character revealed: Chun-Li, Trish from Devil May Cry, Dr. Doom, and Super-Skrull.

Game is looking better and better every time I see a new trailer.

For me it's this general feeling that I've done this all before already. It's not just the Zelda series either, but most games these days with expected sequels. Despite that I do like the more vibrant look, and I think the new motion mechanics will be a refreshing change to the combat system. Gametrailers has a nice clip of someone demoing the game and at one point he had to slice an enemy vertically instead of horizontally to kill an enemy. So there seems to be room there for more in-depth combat. Controls also look a lot of better in that video than the presentation on stage. Hopefully there will be more surprises to be revealed within the upcoming months. [center][media]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-zelda-skyward/700267[/media][/center]

I finished the game a while back, and it was a fantastic ride. It's definitely one of the more immersive games I've played in a while. The main missions does lack variety as they were mainly one big shootout to another, but all of the side stuff you could do in the game really makes it up for me. From hunting animals, to treasure hunting, to playing blackjack/poker, and completing weird but funny stranger missions all serve as nice little breaks from the main game. Also, the free new Co-Op DLC called "Outlaws to the End" is coming out today. I'm looking forward to it as co-op is always more fun to me than the competitive side of things.

I have high hopes that Zelda: Skyward Sword will bring something new to the series. It's probably too early to really tell anything though. And +1 to Scott Pilgrim and Batman: Brave and the Bold! I miss 2D brawlers so much. What a wonderful time to be a fan 2D games.

Microsoft's press conference started out fine with expected sequels, but kind of went downhill for me when they started focusing way too much on Kinect. I see potential there, but what they showed there didn't really grab me. However, Nintendo really brought it this year. New vibrant Zelda that looks like an awesome mix of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. Controls were quite iffy during the presentation, but I'm sure they were just having technical difficulties as they said on stage. Hopefully the hands-on impressions will be positive. Donkey Country Returns, Kirby Epic Yarn, and Kid Icarus were all incredible and I'm glad to see that their all back with style. Also, 3DS seems pretty nifty so far with a lot of support from third parties. Here's hoping that Sony's conference will be just as good! Edit: 3DS seems to be having all kinds of games being made for it! Remakes of Starfox 64, Zelda OOT, and a whole bunch of solid 3rd party titles. Sony's conference felt pretty slow to get things going, but they did get a few nice announcements such as Portal 2 and Twisted Metal. Kevin Butler was awesome as always. The Move stuff seems fine enough, but once again nothing really new. Overall it was a decent show.

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]I also prefer playing it solo, the game?s less frantic that way. It?s still a lot of fun playing with others, though. The propeller suit is probably my favorite new power-up of the bunch. But yeah, its no raccoon tail or super cape. I still got a lot of star coins to go after in order to open up some [spoiler]new levels in world 9[/spoiler], and I?m finding it to be quite the challenge. [/SIZE][/FONT]

I am sad that tonight was Conan O' Brien's last show on the Tonight Show. He went out with class tonight.

[quote name='chibi-master']F.Y.E is closing. Used DVD is used and costs only 7 small dollars... BEAUTIFUL.[/quote] Really? Wow, I should go check out some of my local FYE stores then.

[FONT=Tahoma]I also read the manga and knew what was going to happen, but the latest episode in the anime still got to me. Especially when [spoiler]Jiraiya[/spoiler] starts talking about all his failures in life. :( Very sad episode. [/FONT]

The game looks incredible and it may be one of the few games I will be getting this year. I?ve been playing the multiplayer demo for a while now and its pretty fun. There were a number of different modes, but the most fun I had was playing a mode called ?Gold Rush? that was somewhat similar to Gears of War?s ?Horde Mode?. You team up with two other players and try to survive ten rounds of intense gun battles while trying to capture a treasure in each round. But really, I?m mostly interested in the single-player campaign. I hear it?s a lot longer this time around. The multiplayer modes are a nice bonus, though. I can?t wait!

Of all the games shown, I was probably most excited for what Nintendo had to show. The new four player Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario & Luigi 3, and the new Metroid all looks amazing so far and I’m really looking forward to them. I also can’t wait to get my hands on Wii Sports Resort to try out the new Motion Plus. Most of the other games that were shown at the other press conferences were kind of expected, but nevertheless I’m thrilled to see them too. Uncharted 2, in particular looks really good. It was pretty cool to see how interactive the environment was, everything in that game looks so real. God of War 3 was just as crazy. The sheer amount of brutality Kratos was unleashing in the trailer was insane. Alan Wake was interesting too with the whole emphasis on the flashlight and the weird but cool-looking spiritual creatures. Other highlights for me were FFXIII, Assassins Creed 2, and Shadow Complex. Overall, I pretty much enjoyed all 3 press conferences this year.
