Sunday Night Somethingorother

I've been so busy planning our E3 schedule that I didn't really have a chance to add anything new to the ShackReviews database, so there won't be a round-up tonight. Of course, since there haven't really been any major releases this past week, that probably won't be a problem for most of you.

For those curious as to what we'll be seeing at E3, we've got pretty much everything covered on the PC side, including the major players (Epic, id, Westwood, Rockstar, Valve, EA, Lithtech, Activision, Lucasarts etc.) as well as some of the smaller, but no less important companies (Fishtank, Bethesda and Novalogic among others) and a few oddballs thrown in the mix for good measure (Running With Scissors). On the console side, we've got a couple of appointments where we'll see some stuff (Konami, Take 2 and Ubi Soft) but the really big players don't take appointments with small fries like us. For Nintendo, Sony, Square and the rest, we'll be making our way through the hordes to get our five minutes with the major titles. Every year I devote a good 30 minutes to Nintendo's madhouse, and this year I plan on pushing my way through until I can play Metroid, Mario, and if it's there, Zelda.

As I did last year, I'll be providing coverage for GameSpot as well, although as they have switched much of their content to their new GameSpot complete system, I have no way of knowing if any of that will be accessible to the general public. Either way, the overwhelming majority of stuff will be for this site, and I plan on providing some quick reports each night, with more detailed stuff after I get back here. E3 is a crazy, crazy scene, but it's also a total rush, and there are always big surprises in store, so stay tuned.
