It's Christmas in May..


..Yes, this is essentially how I feel right now.

I've spent almost all of my time on the computer for the past two days on the IGN.com looking at all of the new developments and such from E3. This is the first Electronics Entertainment Expo since they first announced the "Nintendo Dolphin" all those years ago that has gotten me all giddy.

I think this is mainly because I only purchased a PlayStation 2 a few weeks ago, so I have a wider variety of stuff to look after and anticipate. All of the sequels and continuations coming out, such as the new Legend of Zelda, and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, are also exciting me. I've had a very happy, giddy feeling about me for two days now.

One of my biggest excitements, for some unexplainable reason, is the PlayStation Portable. Something strange about it is really intriguing to me. Maybe it's that handheld game consoles have finally made the transition to CDs, or that the graphical capabilities have skyrocketed.. Either way, I'm certainly hoping to buy a PSP a little while after they're released. The technological specs are good, yes, but according to IGN, many of the titles in progress are.. Puzzle games. *shudders* Square Enix is making one, though there are absolutely no details about it, and Metal Gear: Acid is shaping to be interesting. Card-based RPG-strategy stealth.. It'll be cool.

Nintendo Dual Screen is turning out to be somewhat of a letdown for me. The Super Mario 64 port and Metroid Hunters seem like a continuation of what Final Fantasy started with Nintendo- Games with very little to them outside of multiplayer. They may just be little games created to show off the multiplayer capabilities of the DS, but I'm still not very pleased. From what I've seen, only the Dual Screen Wario Ware has relatively impressed me.

Ever since I first came to IGN, I thought that all video files were exclusive to IGN-insider members. Late last night, however, I finally realized that only the Quicktime files are. The Windows Media Player files are open to anyone. And now I am very happy.

..Okay, time to exit crazy ranting gamer mode. I know a lot of what I have just said is simply stuff I assumed, but I don't quite have too much else to go off of, now do I?

I get out of school tomorrow and Friday. I'll write about it later. G'night.
