I'm definitly tired of the whinners. Sure, ok, I was secretly hoping that they'd have a game for the "hardcore" people, BUT Nintendo won me over, fully, when they announced Animal Crossing: City Folk. That, to me, was just the best announcement out of this E3. I'm a huge Animal Crossing fan and it was so GREAT to see that game announced. And they showed all that footage too! I mean, I thought they might announce it, but I had no idea they'd show that much footage from it. :) And yes, I'm very happy about Wii Sports 2 also. My mom loves that game and I can't wait to get that for her next year. Heck, I liked the orignal Wii Sports too, so I'll be glad to play the new one also. Wii Music looks fun too, imo. And I'm really not a fan of games like Guitar Hero or Rock Band, but I might actually like to play some like Wii Music. Anyway, I was really happy with Nintendo at E3. Plus: I totally agree that they shouldn't announce stuff if they are not ready. Sony & Microsoft do that all the time and it only leads to disappointment! Nintendo was definitly my favorite at E3. I thought Microsoft had some good suprises too though. I think, overall, Sony was the one who really didn't have anything new. (of course, you wouldn't think that from all the Nintendo whinners. lol). DF2506 Augie, I totally agree with you. I’m definitly tired of the whinners.

Personally I got stuck in hard career mode at the Slipknot/Muse/Disturbed/Queens of the Stone Age tier. I can't get past ANY of those songs...ok, I suck, what can I say. Hard just isn't my forte...whereas on medium I have 5 starred all the songs except for One by Metallica. Very odd how much the difficulty ramped up between medium and hard. I can handle the 5th button, but I can't handle the ramped up number of notes you have to hit or the speed at which they come at you. Hey Augie,

In some ways it's kind of refreshing to know that they don't need to come out with anything big just for the sake of it. Though saying that, the Wii Sports 2 news was big but it was probably topped by the DS exclusive new GTA game which is pretty sweet. E3 was quiet on the whole this year with the other main bit of news being the Final Fantasy going to X-Box, further crippling Sony.
