Thoughts so far on E3 2010

• Portal 2 looks amazing, although the announcement itself is not surprising.
• Steamworks on PS3 is a clever move by Valve to give them leverage on the 360. (See this Penny Arcade post).
• The 3DS has got some favourable reviews, but I'm not sure how Nintendo are going to market the device when you can't see 3D on TV.
• New Goldeneye was very surprising, and new Kirby and Zelda were also welcome additions.
• 360 redesign looks nice. The cynic in me wonders if a major goal in the new design is cutting down on Red Ring Of Death.
• The Kinect and the Move are both too similar to, and more expensive than, the Wii.
• That said, Tetsuya Mizuguchi of Rez fame is developing a shooter for both Kinect and Move called Child of Eden. I would probably buy Kinect or Move for this game alone.
