19.05.05 highlights of day one

Playtested:
- Jak X: A cool racing game starring Jak. It felt ok, but I don’t know how much scope a racing game can have after being an adventure/platformer for so long.
- Daxter (PSP): Yep, the famous sidekick’s now gotten his own game. The developer told me the PSP would be connectible to the Jak for PS2 game for added gaming goodness.
- Sly 3: This one has a level in 3D, as in with real 3D glasses. It also now includes a multi-player mode where you can actually play Carmelita Fox (or Sly).
- Ratchet in co-op mode: Co-op games being my favorite, the fact that Ratchet is finally going co-op is simply multiorgasmic to me. I have been spending too much time at that little booth.

Saw trailers for KillZone on the PS3 (oh boy oh boy oh boy), Rainbow Six Lockdown, Prince of Persia 3, We Love Katamari and Ultimate Spider-Man. The latter looks AMAZING. I’ve always wanted to see a game done with a real superhero comicbook look and feel to it, and now it’s been done. And it’s yummy.

Got recognized by M. Net. Saw the Batmobile. Met lots of cool people working on my favorite games: Jak, R&C, Sly Cooper, etc.

Was just strolling around when I heard the theme song for one of my games, blasting on the loudspeakers. Looked around and there was the trailer, playing on a HUGE screen above a crowd. I ran over and shot loads and loads of pictures, singing along to the music, giddy as a schoolgirl.

The Ratchet incident. Did I mention the Ratchet incident??? (see previous post) I haven’t seen the PS3 or XBOX 360 yet, but I don’t think today can be topped. I’m exhausted and happy. Goodnight.
