E3 day 2 through Reuben-colored lenses

Was something interesting supposed to happen today? ‘Cause, uh, it didn’t. Also, for the official record, I don’t like games.

Wii Sports Resort, Wii Music

Nintendo’s aiming for the casual set. Not surprising, considering those are the people actually buying Wiis. Resort could be worth a couple spins, if you’re into that stuff. Wii Music, though, is for stupid babies.

Animal Crossing: City Folk, GTA: Chinatown Wars, Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades

OH MY GOD I AM ASLEEP SO HARD RIGHT NOW GUYS.

God of War 3

Yep.

$150 PS2 bundle

Bundle it with a check for $200 and we’ll talk.

I Am Alive

I am intrigued.

Bungie announcement quashed by Microsoft

Didn’t see that coming. Could this be the weakest E3 ever?

Christian Slater is such a secret agent, it’s a secret from himself. Now that’s a guy who’s good at keeping things quiet. My Own Worst Enemy premieres Monday.

Payne or pleasure?: Mark Wahlberg stars in the latest video-game-turned-movie. The good news? Uwe Boll is not involved. The bad news? Other than a lot of shooting, I still have no idea what Max Payne is about.

“World of Warcraft is like crack cocaine, and probably benefits from a recession … unemployed subscribers can play 100 hours a week — a phenomenal value.”

Marching in: Looks like Saints Row 2 will involve a few explosions, if the screens are any indication. The gangster-in-a-sandbox sequel lands in stores this week.
