E3 Roundup
I wasn't at E3 but I did try to keep up to date with the news updates.
As expected all three 'next gen' consoles have been announced, and frankly I'm underwhelmed. They all look fairly ugly with Nintendo making the closest to an attractive machine (it's also the smallest).
However how the console looks matters little, it's the games that are important. There were a few games that stood out for me, so I've done a little round-up of what I ...
Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith- Review
I suspect there are going to be quite a few Star Wars reviews over the next few days so I'll make this quick.
I like Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith!
The script was up to Georges usual standard, that is to say, incredibly cheesy; but you don't watch a Star Wars movie if you want to be intellectually stimulated or wowed by Oscar worthy acting. Star Wars is a Saturday afternoon popcorn movie, and looked at like that ...
Nintendo rumours
Lots of rumours and speculation about what Nintendo are up to at E3. Apparently there is going to be a big reveal some time today... at least that's the theory.
Star Wars and really cool Nintendo stuff on one day - I'm a very happy man at the moment!

More new Zelda screens can be found here they're a lot cleaner than the shots seen previously.
I'm not going to be spreading any E3 joy until all the news is out. I suspect anyone that wants to read about E3 will have found plenty of other places to get their info. I'm going to be sticking to 4 color rebellion, with the occasional visit to GameTrailers.com
For anyone who doesn't know what E3 is it's the
Batman Begins Trailer
Batman Begins Looks like Batman is back on form. Batman Begins looks stunning - I can't wait.
The Tim Burton Batman films were great, but since then they have been getting worse and worse. I loved Memento so was very interested to see what Christopher Nolan would do with this.
New Video Games
I enjoy both playing, and developing video games. Recently I have bought a number of new games but not been able to play them for one reason or another.
Splinter Cell: Chaos TheoryI bought Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory about three weeks ago. I hurried home after buying it to have a play and what did I find? None of my memory cards were big enough to save the game. I have a GameCube and a standard 4 meg memory ...
Google Web Accelerator Withdrawn
Thank you for your interest in Google Web Accelerator. We have currently reached our maximum capacity of users and are actively working to increase the number of users we can support.
The Google Web Accelerator has been withdrawn. Their 'official reason' is above, but I think it roughly translates to - 'We screwed up'.
It's most likely because of the problems mentioned previously - the problem has been better explained elsewhere
I would recommend everyone uninstalls it at least ...
