Finish the Lyrics- I knew all the songs, though it was frustrating that I apparently didn't know the right lyrics for some of them. Its odd some of them wanted the exact word, and others they gave it to me for being close.
E3:
Warriors: Legends of Troy- So Koei finally came up with a new franchise not based in Japan or China (or the Gundam Universe). I was thinking making a DW/SW type game based on the Bladestorm characters might be cool, because they did have some cool looking characters. But this works too. (And mebbe they can have a WO: 3 that encompasses not only DW and SW, but this Troy setting too). Though how many characters can this have? (they don't actually show any gameplay or any of the characters) I assume Achilles will be this game's Lu Bu. Well in terms of bad-assedness. But if they were going by size, the Lu Bu/Honda equivalent might actually be Ajax. Though who else is there? Hector, Paris, Odyssesus, Agamemnon, maybe Helen as a Diao Chan type? The warriors games usually have thrice as many characters. Though I guess even though its "Legends of Troy", they might have other Greek heroes who weren't actually involved in that war.
Metroid: Other M- Interesting, a Metroid game done by Team Ninja (i.e. the DOA and Ninja Gaiden folks). From the trailer, the action does seem to be a little more "action movie"-y. I mean, Metroid done in the vein of the new Ninja Gaidens? It has the potential to be awesome.
Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles- the sequel to Umbrella Chronicles, I guess this covers the games not shown in the previous game. I think an earlier trailer showed Leon and Claire in Racoon City, and this one is Claire and Steve on Rockfort Island. I'm assuming there's some new stuff besides revisiting RE2 and RE: Code Veronica.
Assassin's Creed 2- a developer walkthrough. As I said in a previous post, it looks like this new guy has a lot more tricks up his sleeve, thanks in part to Leonardo Da Vinci. But in addition to having double wrist blades and other fancy gadgets and gear, it looks like the combat system is a little fancier- a lot more stealing of enemy's weapons and using those against them. I'm assuming with all those canals, in addition to being able to glide like in the demo they show, there's a swimming aspect as well?
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves- While this game does look cool, between this, Assassin's Creed 2, and Splinter Cell: Conviction, there seems to be a lot of these games taking place in large city-like "playgrounds" that your action hero character can shimmy, crawl, jump, and climb all over. The characters seem to be able to interact and traverse the environment the same way, and its just the weapons and technology that's available that differ.
