Broken and Beat Down
I am spent! I've been in LA all week to contend with the game industry colossal E3. I lost.
My head is spinning from the sensory overload (not to mention the late, late night at the Sony party). My feet are blistered from all the walking. My back is aching, etc. I need a better pre-events training program!
A worthwhile and fun trip on the whole, but I can't stop to wonder how "broken" the event actually is...
I can't say I really remember much of the games. It is all a wash. I seem to recall a cool game at the Activision booth where you have to drive over zombies. Hmm, what else? Lots of sequels! Way too many licenses. Lots of noise. Lots of flash. Lots of flesh (ya, the amount of boothbabes seemed pretty high this year (much to the <a href="http://www.igda.org/Forums/showthread.php?threadid=10215">chagrin of some developers</a>)). Lots of distractions.
I really have a hard time remembering/digesting anything meaningful from the cacophony. Isn't E3 supposed to be all about the games???
