Games that are defiantly worth playing are Assassins Creed: Brotherhood. The multi player of that was pretty amazing, really looking forward for that coming out. Little Big Planet 2 was pretty fun, especially with the the new game modes. Really looking forward to seeing what I can make in it's level editor when it comes out.
An indie game that was Freakin' Awesome was 'Swimming Under Clouds'.
You play as a ball of water containing a fish. It's quite a simple platformer, but the interesting thing is that the fish can fall out of the water, and you need to get it back before it dies. Very interesting mechanic, sorta reminds me the Yoshi games were when you get hurt, you have to get Baby Mario back before he's kidnapped.
One really cool thing that I really didn't expect was there was a Nintendo booth where The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I got in the queue with my mate Josiah and was told we'd have to wait an hour. I was just about prepared for that, could chat and stuff while we waited. Then the Nintendo booth guy came and told us we'd have to wait two. So was like fudge this and left.
On another note I was pleasantly surprised by the Playstation move. Yes it was similar to the Wii, but was alot better. For one it's using the Playstation 3, which is 3 times as powerful than the Wii, also it's the Wii Motionplus or better, right out the box. Lastly they seem to be doing more interesting things with it, for example with the archery and gladiator stuff you can play using two Move controllers, which gave a better experience.
Don't get me wrong though, it doesn't look amazing, and I'm not saying it's THE NEXT BIG STEP! I'm just saying it seemed better than I thought, and it looks like there will be a few interesting games for it.
Also it looked alot better than Kinect, which kept breaking. Also playing Table Tennis without a controller in your hand... feels a bit odd to me.
The highlight of the expo though had to be the careers section, and the developer talks.
It was really nice getting leaflets from and chatting with some actual game developers. I defiantly need to work on my portfolio!
The only talk I actually went to was the Sucker Punch one, the guys who make inFamous. I really should have gone the the Fable and Deus Ex ones.
The Sucker Punch guys were pretty cool, was really nice seeing them explain the game, and parts of it's development. I do think they should have kept his new hair.
