Off to E3

Just like last year, I'm off to the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) to cover it for GameSpy.com. Actually, I'm here right now in the GameSpy/IGN (or IGN/GameSpy, whatever) "war room." Unfortunately the power is out in half of the LA Convention Center, including the Media Registration room. So I can't get my badge to get into any of the show rooms. In fact, one of the HUGE halls where the majority of booths are apparently doesn't have power. It's not a pretty situation, but hopefully it'll get cleared up soon. 'Til then, I'm just kind of sitting on my hands.

Update: Whew, it's the end of the day and as usual I'm exhausted. Given that the power problems knocked the media registration area out, I had to borrow someone else's badge. So, just for today, I was known as "Alfonzo." It's actually better than the first badge they handed me, which read something like "Ying Jin Jang."

Stuff I saw:
  1. Prey
  2. Allen Wake
  3. America's Army
  4. Spellforce 2
  5. Dungeon Siege 2
  6. Unreal Tournament 2007
  7. Soul Calibur 3
  8. Rise of Nations Rise of Legends
And a bunch of other stuff. Previews to show up on GameSpy.com soon. I've got a lot more to see tomorrow, including a few just for myself.

What's Allen Wake?

Actually, it's Alan Wake. New action adventure game for next gen consoles and the PC from the guys who did Max Payne.
