I admit it, I'm FPS-tired. Quake 4, Doom 7, Pariah, Call of Duty 3, Brothers in Arms 2, Saving Private Ryan, Prey, whatever. STALKER? Meh. Too late. DNF? I've forgotten what it was about. Something with strippers I think. I've gotten to the point where only two FPS games remotely interest me - the recently announced Alan Wake because the setting of the supposed story looks like it could be genuinely different from the bulk of the WW2 or Doom-style shooters (New screenshots on the www.alanwake.com!) and Elder Scrolls IV, because it looks to be one of the few decent FPS-RPG titles in development. Too much bloom though!

You know what I want? Sim City 5.

PS. Be sure to check out the shacknews E3 moblog, where the three stooges post shocking news about spit and sushi!

  What would that achieve? You watch it AFTER the movie, if anything to keep the chronological order intact. Otherwise the whole exercise is intellectually bankrupt!

    Jar Jar is annoying, then Anakin is annoying, then there's a cool space sequence with bombs that don't make any noise, then we get to see some loose end about some Jedi we've never heard of before starting a clone army, then everyone gets captured by giant termites, and then there is a fucking humongous battle that lasts for like forty minutes and of course Yoda starts flipping out and going crazy right after Anakin's arm gets sliced off by Count Dooks and then the credits roll.
