Kudos for the Bayonetta award XD

I agree with a fair amount of this (except for The Grinder and Zelda Wii as it wasn't necessarily an E3 announced game ). 
I'm getting worried about Darkside Chronicles though.  I'm hoping the problems are with the demo and not the final game because I was looking forward to it.

In all my 8 years of attending E3, most often what you play is almost identical to the finished game. This is ESPECIALLY true if the title is only a few months from release. A lot of the problems within Darkside Chronicles are intentional, shaky cam was made to be more "immersive", and Capcom intentionally made it easier. The pace is also unlikely to change as these were two complete levels within the game. It was not some pre-alpha build of the project. The only time E3 demo's seem to vary greatly from the final product is when the title is far from release, or there is enough negativity within press to really let the developers know what needs improvement. So far, only me and Mark Bozon of IGN seem to really have a problem with the title. So I wouldn't put much faith in a turn around at this point.

No Scribblenauts? That's a first. IGN is plastering its name everywhere they can, lol. Nice to see something else (although Scribblenauts looks really good).


So many good games though...even your biggest disappointments still hold appeal to some of us, ha xD
(I still think there's more to ST than they're letting on),

But even you list of Best Wii Games is missing other good ones, which is understandable 'cause you can't fit everything in there, and as it is, you still put down 4 games, haha.

They all sound great. NSMBWii, Silent Hills, FF:CC:CB, Boy and his Blob, The Conduit, Red Steel 2, Wii Sports, Dead Space, and even The Grinder, Fragile, Zelda, Metroid, SMG2...

Too many games that I want...

I actually kinda hope that Darkside Chronicles is easier than Umbrella Chronicles (UC was just a little too frustrating at times). I'm not sure if I'll pick it up or not, but I guess we'll see how the reviews look.

To me, the funniest announcement at E3 was Final Fantasy XIV. I mean, XIII isn't even out yet, and probably won't come out for a long time. God knows when XIV will even see the light of day. Square-Enix definitely has a completely different marketing tactic than Nintendo.

XIII is out this year for Japan, so a "long time" is no longer that long.

XIV will likely see a fairly quick release after XIII, as XI came out fairly quickly after X (at least in comparison to the usual SE release setup).

The real reason there is no scribblenauts is because...I didn't get a chance to play it! Chuck did and he was just as impressed as the rest of the media. I have no doubt it is a fantastic title, but it would be highly presumptuous of me to make a game I didn't actually play and have only seen a couple videos of my best DS game of show.

And I totally agree on there being plenty of other good/great Wii games, The Conduit is right up there, Red Steel 2, Wii Sports Resort is a fantastic title thats also extremely casual. Sin and Punishment 2 is looking good, Muramasa, Arc Rise Fantasia, Endless Ocean 2. There is a ton of great games but I decided to limit runner up to two titles.

Haha, yea, see? There are so many I even forgot a bunch of titles. S&P2, Muramasa, etc...

Im sure it wasn't always easy deciding what to pick! But that's a really good thing.

That reminds me, I should probably check back on that Batman forum to see if they've released any new info on it.  Knowing that forum and how busy this one was, there will probably be a million unread replies...
