E3 Wrap-up Complete
Finally finished adding all of the games I played at E3. I have added approximately 60 games and my first impression of each game. Some bad, some good but overall a great experience at E3 this year. There is a lot to go through and the easiest way to do it is using the search and putting in, “First Impression” in the search box and it will bring up all of the games that I reviewed.

The Wii Broke My Glee
Well I had a E3 itinerary all set and ready for the last day at E3 and the Nintendo Wii had to kill it. I was in line for 2 hours or more then once I got in I had to wait in line to play the games. I did not get out of the Nintendo room until 3:30 pm and E3 was over at 4:00 pm. On the good side though I am now anticipating the Wii because I had a great time with it. The controller is pretty cool and you get the hang of it pretty fast. Swinging your arms around with the controller feels natural. So back to my intinerary, the only things I got to was the Nintendo Wii of course, Square Enix Tickets to see their game footage and the EA 360 Degree Screen. Stay glued to this sight this weekend and next week as I update it with all the games and photos from E3 2006.

E3, PS3, Wii and Me
Ok, ok I finally have something to say about the PS3 that will be $500-600, it is worth it. The graphics on most games are insanely detailed. It will have Blu-Ray technology and HDMI High Definition connection (For the $600 version) to HD televisions. All the games at E3 have been on HD LCD TVs and the images jump off the screen on next-gen systems. For current systems it makes the games look choppy and pixelated so it will be hard to tell the true graphics. The PS3 gameplay for E3 demos feel like well polished games on the most part. I have still not played with my Wii yet but I bet you guys are dying to hear about it. I will try to get into the Nintendo Wii booth tomorrow. Next I will be posting games from day one at E3. In the post I will give the games my first impression, the controls and the interest level from other gamers at E3. Now back to the games…

Dark Side of the Ecliptic Sight @ E3
Usually on my sight I try to highlight games, films, events and more that I find great or informative. Even in my about page/mission statement I say that I want to only give positive feedback on the items or stories that I post. At E3 I want to talk about all the games that I play some good, some bad and some that make you wonder how did they get funding for that. That’s right folks for this event I will bring you E3 uncut and raw. I will give you my honest feedback on all demos I play and that means the dark side of me will draw its head. So sit back and relax and discover new games at E3. Come to the dark side…

Kaieos Gets Ecliptic Sight To E3
Well this might shock some of you but I did manage to get to E3 aka Gamer’s Paradise. The wonderful group that got me into E3 this year is Kaieos. Kaieos is spearheaded by Keith Vu. Keith doesn’t only do that but he also runs eZZyprints.com. How he does it is anyone’s guess. I just have to say thanks to Keith and Kaieos because I am at E3 typing this to you at the L.A. Convention Center.

I AM 8-BIT: version 2.006
Gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight will be host of the second annual I AM 8-BIT nicely dubbed, verison 2.006. I AM 8-BIT: version 2.006 is an art show that lets over hundred artists give their interpretation of 1980’s video games through different media. It varies from canvas to t-shirts to cloth and last year there was even a Pac-Man grenade. Now if you can imagine that then you will enjoy this pixel parade of people’s perception. The show begins April 18th and will run until May 19th, 2006. More information can be found at iam8bit.net and nineteeneightyeight.com and to wet your appetite as what is in store here is a wallpaper from iam8bit.net. Is that who I think that is?

Battle of the Beats 2 Update
Battle of the Beats 2 will be landing at Project Blowed on April 20th, 2006 and will be one not to miss. The event will begin at 9:00 pm and will feature up and coming producers presenting their best tracks. Again my compadre, Detrimental Storm will be in attendance and giving people the chance to hear the beats that he has in his arsenal. It should be a great show and for more information check my previous Battle of the Beats 2 post or the official sight. If your lucky there may be an appearance by the Ecliptic one himself.
