E3

Now that the hype has cooled down a bit, I’m reflecting on E3 and feeling kindof depressed. While there were some very cool games at the show, they were, for the most part, all shooters: Halo 2, Half-Life 2, Doom III, Call of Duty. I can’t recall any really exciting strategy games or RPGs. Granted, MS rolled out Mythica but that, as well as the other big MMORPGs (World of Warcraft, Middle Earth Online) are way out on the distant horizon. We’ve got Star Wars Galaxies out soon, but beyond that…very little non-shooter gaming to look forward to this year.
