Reading through your paragraph on the Wii Music disaster made me LOL all over again just like I did the first time I read about it. Great article.

I truly despise Cammie and Wii Music.

Question. What's up with the embedded YouTube video for Family Guy? Its funny, but I don't see what it has to do with the article.

Also, isn't it a bit unfair to use gameplay footage to cutscene footage for the Halo 3 trailer comparison? I mean, the cutscenes are almost always better than the actual game's graphics. If you'd used a cutscene photo from the 2007 trailer, I wouldn't mind as much.

Typo in last article. I meant comparing the 2006 cutscene with 2007 footage. Sorry for the double post.

I really hope Cammy doesn't show her saccharine smile at this tomorrow at Nintendo's conference. I hate her so much.

..And then in two weeks, the gamesradar site shut down and gloriously became gardeningradar.

I can't wait to see what kind of bitchcraft Nintendo has up its sleeve this time.

I heard that it gonna be another mindless Mii game and the Miis will be the only Nintendo mascot appearing for the rest of the Wii games.

Microsoft and Sony better step up now and send family entertainment back to hell where it belong.

Hold on to your #@&!ing seats.

I hope there will be a follow-up to this article: The Top 7 Greatest Brilliant Moments or Revelations in E3 history. These Snake Oil Salesman at these here trade shows better take or learn a lesson from GM - Just give the people what they want!

E3 used to be something you would look forward to...what the hell happened?!?! I mean Wii music WTF?!?
secretsearcher  - 6 months 2 days ago 
I'm surprised Wii Music wasn't #1.

But kudos to you GamesRadar for being able to survive the Hellhole now known as E3

The God of War III trailer WAS action packed, and it WAS gameplay. I don't know what you're talking about. Also, I'm sick of people complaining about the price of the PS3. You pay thousands of dollars for huge ass televisions but you won't pay $600 for video games, Blu Ray functionality, internet and an online store for buying demos and games?

@Grenade

They were talking about this trailer you dipshit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ_IXmvUg6Q
Fancy Rat  - 6 months 2 days ago 
You didn't mention anything about the Sony exec telling people that they were stupid for thinking that $600 was too much for a PS3 and that we should work harder for it. Didn't he also say he wouldn't be surprised if games were $100 a pop too?

What about all those people still waiting for Super Mario 128! Hahaaa...

DAMN!

Cammie must've had work done or something.

She looks extra bad in that photo.
