E3… nuff said.

With the biggest event in video games currently underway, I’ve been busy today checkin out all the badass stuff headin our way in the world of video games!

First really cool feature i saw today: (let me apologize beforehand about the videos. i went on youtube to search for the vids I saw on the E3 site, but the youtube video quality kinda sucks, but you get the idea!)

Microsoft Partners with NETFLIX!

That’s right. Anyone with a current subscription to XBOX LIVE and Netflix will be able to access their NETFLIX account to watch movies and TV shows straight from their 360! And that’s not the coolest part. To me, the coolest thing is that you can gather a group of your XBOX LIVE friends and all get together in a live party to watch movies together! How cool is that! Man… I need to get NETFLIX!

FINAL FANTASY XIII

I don’t even know where to begin. These games have come a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way. I remember playing FF: Mystic Quest on my Super Nintendo waaaay back in the day. It was my first FF game I had ever played. After that, I lost track of it pretty quickly until the Playstation came out and along with it, FF VII-FF IX. I never got around to playing VII as one day back when my brother and I would get to rent a game for the weekend he picked up FF VIII and I got hooked! Sure the graphics weren’t great in game play but the cinematics I thought, were pretty awesome for that time frame. I got into FF IX soon after and then finally the most anticipated FF X. Where for the first time, we finally didn’t have to read every single line of scrolling text and got to sit back and watch scenes unravel with talking characters! I love FF X and still to this day haven’t beat it but I’m very close… Just very lazy… Now, after another long break (because I haven’t touched FFX-2 through FF XII) I need to get back in the game with FF XIII. I just watched the trailer and it looks absolutely amazing. I do actually think I got some game-play in on FF XII but I didn’t like the way it was set up so I put it down. But the game-play on the new FF XIII is a visual orgasm… oh yeah… I said it.

Cant’ wait!

GUITAR HERO: WORLD TOUR

w00t! What more can I say, I LOVE Guitar Hero! And the latest installment is gonna be awesome! With more than 80 master tracks alone PLUS more to Download at launch INCLUDING THE ENTIRE NEW METALLICA ALBUM, Death Magnetic, this installment is gonna be off the chizzain! Online Co-Op careers, Online 4v4 Battles, RECORDING studios will even give the chance to aspiring musicians to track their own works into the game! The wait is gonna kill me!

I feel sorry for the guy in this video… He wasn’t a very good speaker and sounded scared to death. But I suppose he did a good job explaining things…

OK!

I’d love to put it all in one post, but I wanna save some for more so that I can contribute more later!

Stay tuned! More to come within the next couple of hours!
