Given that literally all my content on this blog so far
has been devoted to games nearly a decade old or older, one could be forgiven
for thinking that I am broadcasting to you live from the past, via some manner of blog time capsule. Either that or I live
in a cave. Er, a cave surprisingly stocked with video games and consoles from a
decade ago. Whatever, you get the idea. However, the fact of the matter is that
I do in fact live in the mysterious future-present year of 2012, and frequently
interact with these new-fangled jigamawhatsits that are modern consoles.
The
problem is that I frequently revisit old games for a number of reasons, and
although I’ve also played modern games recently they’ve been fewer in number
and, more importantly, harder to write about. You see these games have already
gotten tons of coverage recently from people better equipped to speak about
them than I, and they’ve also all been really good lately. In my experience I’ve
always found bad games or fun but flawed games easier to talk or write about
than good ones. Anyway, the point is that I don’t talk about modern games as
much as a lot of other people. But now I’m going to, because I want to briefly discuss
this year’s E3.
This
was clearly the only important part of E3. Alright, we’re done here, go home.
