E3 Game Line-Ups - Part Two 17
More companies are announcing their line-up for E3, and one of the most interesting rosters comes from Capcom, who now have an E3 preview page up on their site. Highlights include Resident Evil: Outbreak (the online Resident Evil for Playstation 2) and Onimusha Blade Warriors (more of a fighting game?), as well as other new Maximo and Onimusha titles, though sadly there are no screenshots available there. Also announcing their product line-up are Eidos Interactive, whose press release mentions Thief and Deus Ex: Invisible War from the Spector-headed Ion Storm, plus interesting Legacy Of Kain and Tomb Raider sequels. Finally, a preliminary list of E3 titles bundled out of Sony Europe by Eurogamer includes Gran Turismo 4, Syphon Filter: Omega Strain, Eye Toy (using your Playstation 2 plus a camera add-on), Ratchet and Clank und Jak and Daxter sequels, and plenty more. Excited yet?

These are the guys who made Arcanum [troikagames.com], and includes many of the principal designers and developers of Fallout [interplay.com] and Fallout 2 [interplay.com].
How are we suppose to keep up? (Score:3, Insightful)
I had a Playstation 2 and a Gamecube (as well as all the consoles that came before) and my collection of games was growing much faster than I could play them. I was overwhelmed and gaming became less fun and more like work. I finally had enough last October after losing a month of my life to Animal Crossing (don't ask, you either love it and become obsessed or think its completely stupid). I have since sold my systems and all my games and rediscovered all kinds of 'analog' hobbies like reading and going outside.
I get pangs when I hear about cool new games but my brain and my bank account just can't take any more. Am I the only one feeling like this?

A little for everyone (Score:5, Interesting)
However, I do like certain types of games. I'm really looking forward to the new Thief game. That will probably be my next purchase, and after that I'll pick up Deus Ex 2 (if I have the hardware to run it). That should last me the rest of the year. This past year was spent with metroid (and recently, Zelda). I've mentioned 4 games I've played in the past while. I guess most wouldn't consider me much a gamer anymore, but I still enjoy games and get excited when new ones come out.
So, I guess, what I'm saying is just to filter out everything except the ones that really interest you. Don't look and wish you could play them all. You can't. Just look for the ones you would enjoy.

For 20 bucks a month you can rent all the games you want ( having 2 out at a time ) for any of the 3 consoles. It's a great way to weed through the over hyped crap that comes out. And if you happen to like the game you can keep it "out" indefinitely, or even purchase it and GameFly will mail you the box, manuals, etc.
Note that I really don't recommend GoVoJo [govojo.com]. They have awful turnaround times and their site isn't
