E3 ‘09: God of War III

We’re less than two days away from the official start of E3 here in sunny L.A., which begins on Tuesday (though a trio of major press conferences take place Monday). I got into town today and took a long walk around the Los Angeles Convention Center, where signs of E3 are popping up all over. If there was any doubt about this year’s event being a return to the truly big E3s of yesteryear, those thoughts were washed away by these larger-than-life sights around the convention center!

Click through to see all 27 photos for yourself:

The outer entrance to West Hall, where Sony and Nintendo will be exhibiting. That’s Kratos’ arm from the God of War games, holding a PS3 controller. A sure hint that God of War III is going to be shown.

This Jack Black-voiced titled is finally seeing the light of day. (Hey, I made a funny.)

Three banners showing off what is without a doubt, one of the most highly anticipated games of E3 2009: Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

After many long delays (and what looks like a makeover for protagonist Sam Fisher), it looks like Splinter Cell: Conviction might be ready to drop.

Can’t wait to see more of this one… I loved the first game!

An appropriate centerpiece for the main lobby at the massive South Hall.

The Sims 3 adorns a building directly across the street from the Convention Center.

Without a doubt, the biggest banner on display at E3 — inside or out. It’s advertising Assassin’s Creed II, the sequel to my favorite game of all time.

I’m admitting nothing, but it’s possible I might have peed a tiny little bit when I saw this.

Another ginormous ad for Modern Warfare 2.

Had to stop by the historical Los Angeles Theatre this afternoon to pick up my press badge. The event takes place tomorrow evening.

Get ready… get set…

Here we go.

Complete coverage of E3 2009 begins tomorrow with the press conferences for Microsoft, EA, and Ubisoft. Stay tuned!

L.A. Convention Center readies for E3

Well, I feel like crap today so I’ll use that as my excuse for being the asshole.

God of War: The Movie is a bad idea. Plain and simple.

The first God of War game rocked. It introduced a new way to kill things with all of its head wrenching goodness. The manic button pushing to kill sea monsters was tons of fun. And, who didn’t love the minotaurs?

God of War 2 sucked.

OK. So maybe sucked is a bit harsh.

God of War 2 was redundant.

But, people bought it up like hot cakes [I've never really gotten that phrase] and it has somehow become one of those games that “you gotta play”. I played the damn thing for about three hours and then put the controller down out of disgust. I kept expecting something to distinguish 2 from 1; it never came.

I don’t even wanna talk about God of War 3.

So, when I read that the God of War movie is still on, I want to run to the bathroom and wretch. Actually, I want to do that anyway, but the idea of the movie doesn’t help matters. David Jaffe seems like such a nice guy and he’s really excited about the movie, but I’m just not feeling it.

I’m sure that God of War 3 is going to sell its ass off and I have no doubt that the movie will rake in the dough as well, but does that necessarily mean that they will be good?

Um, yeah. Not so much.
