Here are some from the show.

I'll start with this gal who I posted somewhere else already. I needed a picture of her because she was just SOOO striking. It wasn't a gal I lusted after. Instead it was someone I just wanted to stare at. Pictures don't nearly do her justice. Her name was Gosia





A nice custom case that I took a crappy picture of. It was made by a guy named Sheldog23


The New Age of Empires due in the fall I think. Very nice looking game.


This is a killer console game that is pretty unique. You are a graffiti artist out to hone your skils and not get caught by the cops.


This was the hugest thing ever. It was a LED Display that was roughly 15 feet tall by 60 feet wide. Unreal. It is made up of all individual LED units that all hook in to one controller. Really quite something.


Sony_Ville


I thought Nintendo looked pathetic. It was obvious that their "revolution" was vaporware. That thing on the right is a huge display that was cut into curved slices. Very impressive and expensive. Their games look like kindergarten to me, but then again, their message was on target with me: How much quality do you want after photo-realistic? If the game looks great, but is not fun to play, your business is not sustainable. I have to agree. The best way for me to put it is that Madden '92 plays better than the modern Madden. It was easy, fun and not realistic in play or graphics. But fun.


I won a year's subscription, Starter kit with game and headset to XBOX live from Mountain Dew. I liked the metalic metal paintjob on the truck where I picked up the prize so I mugged for the camera.


This company had the best game I ever saw except I forgot to look.


This girl was very pretty in person.



None of my shots of the xbox360 do it justice. It is unreal! It is tough to tell it is even a game. I thought the current XBOX looked good, but then when I went back to it to play some games, it looks terrible.


XBOX360 will be ready at Christmas. They had like 50 of them running and playable with different stuff at the show. They say they will have 50 games ready for it as well. Crazy. The Playstation will likely be out in Spring 06, and they didn't show it live. More like they showed clips of it in a movie. (Nintendo showed a photoshop that some kid who worked there did it seemed). I think I will get one of these things this round since I haven't had my own console since the Odyssey2. Kid on the way so I suspect I will be around the house a bit.

I am a tech geek and I suspect that despite Microsoft's efforts, their box is inferior (2 Teraflops of Graphical Processing beats 1 Teraflop) and Sony would have to slip. I think a couple killer exclusive titles could turn a tide though.

One final note, there is an awesome game comming out that I played. It is called something like "Kill the Humans" and you are an alien. You have a spaceship, but you can also go around on foot which is the best part. You use mind powers to take over people or just to throw objects around. You also have a ray gun which works well. Really cool game and interesting missions.
