If I had to pick just one word to describe this year's E3 and the return of this convention to the L.A. Convention Center, it would be...
subdued. Yes, it is nice to have the convention return to some of its former glory. Yes, it is nice to have it back in its old home at the convention center. Yes, it is nice to see attendance back up above the 40,000 mark. These are all great things, yet the show has lost some of its luster, either due to the economy, or due to the hiatus and attempted format change.
I'll go into the details tomorrow, and there are some games that stand out, but I just wanted to comment on the show overall tonight before I hit the sack.

Steam is offering the "
Orange Box" for a paltry $9.99 this weekend. That's Half-Life with 3 expansions plus Portal and Team Fortress (our current favorite FPS here at the Republic) at under $2 each! You can't afford NOT to take advantage of this! Once you get the games, head on over to the
DOH! Network to hook up with me and the
Deathcon crew...

With all the talk on the
DOH! Network site about the stuff that is or isn't posted here, we are bringing back Game Republic the Internet weblog! While I can't currently provide the Warhammer review that Leche has been promising for the last few months, I am looking forward to getting back to my first love, which is gaming. Please stay tuned for more posts!

Believe it or not the Lutheran school that I spent the latter years of my elementary school years attending was actually quite a bit more liberal than the Presbyterian school that I had attended up until halfway through the fourth grade. But that’s not saying much.
There were two corners of the soccer field that couldn’t be seen from playground beat of the recess supervisor. One of them was called “The Corner” where the school bullies lured their prey, and where playground justice was doled out. The other corner was home to Alex, Jeff, and Brian, three kids in my grade who would grab their backpacks and make a run for the field the moment the lunch bell rang. Once there they would open their bags and remove the large, thin, books and the polyhedral dice that were the foundation upon which their fantasy world was built. Hiding there, in the shadow of the church, epic battles were fought, dragons were slain, and priceless treasures were lost and won by these three friends as they rolled their fates and recorded their triumphs on pencil and paper, one eye on the game, the other stealing furtive glances in the direction of the playground.
get the whole story...
