I think this thread is long overdue, so I'm starting it. The E3 convention is going on, and alot of awesome video games are featuring videos (some never seen before) there. Many of those are availible on websites throughout the internet. So I'm posting a few of my favorites, and I encourage you guys to find some good ones as well.

Lord of the Rings: Conquest: I have no idea how it relates to the Lord of the Rings plotline, but LOTRO didn't do that either, and it's pretty decent. Here's three videos, each one featuring a different zone, and different type of combat:

This one features a wizard character blasting away at some orcs:

This one features a ranger point-blank with orcs, and then using an explosive ballista to destroy a siege tower:

And this last one starts out as a rogue with a dagger so small I can't see it, but then switches (switching classes in-game, interesting) to a swordsman and starts slaughtering a pair of trolls and some orcs:

Fable 2: My personal Best Game of the Year vote... I didn't realize some of the features it was going to have until I watched these videos. So here's a few videos:

Here's a guy showing off some neat spells, from a fire AoE spell to a spell that slows down time, and he gets alot of slashing in there too. I feel bad for the guys that decided to mess with him:

In this one, he shows off some swordfighting moves, a slow-time spell, and a spell that causes multiple massive (like 3 feet long and 6 inches wide I bet) firey crystal shards to rise from the ground and impale a bunch of people. He also whips out a gun at one point and shoots some people:

E3's been over.

I really liked the presentations.

Nintendo didn't seem to at all care. Can't say i'm looking forward to the fall 360 update, but fable 2 looks nice, so does Fallout 3 and dead space.

Sony's presentation however, almost made me tear out my heart and liver. so i could make some cash and buy a PS3. easily the best presentation on the show floor. Little Big Planet FTW!

[Archerlad]

Really? Cus alot of websites are still uploading E3 vids. I can't really say I'm happy about the integrated avatars either. It looks like a bad remake of Miis. I haven't checked out Dead Space yet, but Fable 2 and LOTR:C look pretty cool. I haven't seen any vids of Fallout 3 yet. And Gears of War 2 looks cool. But I'v known they were going to make one since Gears 1 came out, so it wasn't big shock like Fable 2.

Here's some games that are going to be realeased that i am very anxious/excited about: Gears of War 2, Dark Void, Wolfeinstein.

[Greystar]

Well in short, Dead Space = scifi zombie monster horror with strategic dismemberment.
You can find the trailer for free on XBox Live Marketplace.

Fallout 3 = awesome in a can w/ 50's music, nuclear holocost, FPS, TPS, or stratedgy game by guys who made elder scrolls.
Trailer free at XLM

DS is more of an aquired taste btw.

[Archerlad]

I know about Fallout 3. I just haven't seen any videos. But if it's like Oblivion with guns, then I'm getting it. 50's music sucks though. I don't wanna listen to Elvis when I'm blowing someones head off... I want to listen to Raining Blood by Slayer.

If Dead Space is just a futuristic Bioshock, I think I'll pass on that one. Bioshock had no replay value. Good for one playthrough, but the only reason I'd go again was for achievments. By the way, I got Fable 2 Pub Games today and I'm kicking some serious ass. I'm up 580 gold now, and I unlocked a haircut card for my guy, and an Apple Pie that makes you lose weight.

[Greystar]

well for one, it's 3rd person. it also gives you a lazeh. and you get to kill the mutant/zombies you used to work with. and never ever assume anything's ever dead. i like the whole theme and looks of the game.

on another note, d'you play the too human demo? i beat it like 3 times.

[Archerlad]

Yeah I played the Too Human demo, and I hated it. And that definately sounds like Bioshock.

[Archerlad]

OMG UPDATE AT TOP!

[Fygi]

fable2 will be amazing, i finished fable1 in a couple of hours. the most addictive game ever.... i know glyphist and me will be playing it

[Archerlad]

Hey Fygi! Yeah I was playing Fable: Lost Chapters a few days ago. I think the only thing wrong with Fable 1 was using bows. They werent very good. A ranging-only character was far inferior to a warrior or even a mage. Are you on the AQW beta?

[drakonath]

Omg, i just found this: God of War 3 pwn =]

Did you preorder Fable 2? I did. You know about the pub games thing? Its pretty fun too. I have one account 4 thousand gold in debt, and one with 22 thousand gold. Also, the second one unlocked the CHampions Pistol, Sabre, and the Mysterious ring, along with all the other rewards.

[Greystar]

played the demo only, and of course i get 18 on keystone, making 1350 (1250 cause off buy-in) but it doesn't save.

[Archerlad]

Ahh....Keystone is okay. My personal favorite is Fortune's Tower, because it takes more skill than the other two. Keystone tournaments is where all my money came from.
