One thing that I was left wondering is why they don't record and sell DVD's of the actual show you go and see - everything was projected in HD, and I would have loved to own a copy of it. For example, a couple of times they messed up while performing a song, but they went with it which made it into something even funnier than if they had done it perfectly. Reason it was so good was partially because they both clearly were having a good time, but I suspect another big reason was because it's a comedy thing. Assassin's Creed 2 was in full force as well, and what I saw there looks great - hopefully it won't be as repetitive as the first. I went through and checked out their studio a few years back when they were part Argonaut and was really impressed by how they ran things - great team and I'm not surprised at all to see them doing some great work. One of my favorite developers, Rocksteady Studios, has a new game called Batman Arkham Asylum that looks really good and has been getting some great buzz. I didn't get a huge amount of time on the floor, but the games that stood out to me and looked cool were Mini Ninjas, which reminds me a bit of Ninja Town (not in gameplay). Nintendo was there, and I heard they did a press conference, but no one really had any opinion about it and they weren't really hyping anything beyond what was expected.
Sony was smart enough to ply their audience with liquor before doing their song and dance - but their wand thing looked a bit lame to me, but I suppose it's better than nothing, and to be fair, probably nothing short of a PS4 announcement was going to trump MS. They had some big names like the Beatles and Speilberg, they scooped up some great franchises like Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy, and they demo'd some cool hardware (Natal). The press events were interesting (although I didn't actually attend any, since I was in meetings most of the time), the general consensus was that Microsoft did the best.
