I saw toy story 3 over the weekend and couldn't agree more with you guys.

That part at the dump when they started holding hands has got to be the second most emotional moment in animated movie history. Second only to the guys wife dieing in UP but then again she dies at the very beginning so you don't really get to a chance to care about that character like you do in this movie. If they had stretched out that scene any longer I would have been crying like a baby but I'm glad to say I outlasted it and kept my composure.

Overall a great movie.

I was really shocked and surprised in a good way that they included such a scene. I mean, it's basically a scene of characters confronting and finally accepting impending death, it was heartbreaking. That's strong stuff for a so-called "family movie".

I was totally bummed not to see coverage of two of my favorite franchises...some of the oldest franchises still going and going strong.

anyway, if you guys are out there and you saw these titles, what did you think?

Yep I was shocked as well they really should have extended the show by at least another 20-30 minutes so they could talk about a lot of the other bigger name titles that were left out of the discussion.

No mention of MVC3, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Force Unleased 2(shocked Alex didn't bring these up), Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, Vanquish, Dead Space 2, Mortal Kombat, and what looked to be the best Kinect game Dance Central.

Wow they sounded like they hated Move. The segment with Jeff playing Move was absolutely ridiculous. And they never gave any Kinect impressions. What the hell is up with that?!?? The only two reasons why I would have gone to E3 this year were to see the 3DS and to play Kinect. How could you not even talk about playing Kinect?

The 3D display they were talking about at THQ's booth has been at E3 for many years. When I went to E3 7 years ago they had that auto-stereoscopic display set up on the show floor. It was just about one of the coolest things I'd ever seen in my life. It completely and utterly spoiled all 3D technology that requires glasses for me. $200 for Sony's 3D glasses? No thank you.

Oh and Jeff, Kinectimals has nothing to do with Milo. Milo & Kate is still in development. Peter Molyneux said he will be talking about Milo next month. Kinectimals is from the studio that made Dog's Life for the Playstation 2.

More like $1700 when you add in the price of a 3d ready TV.

And best of all, it's being used for the same types of games we already have on the Wii. YAY!!!!

Oh and apparently you have never heard of the Eye Toy or PS3 Eye. You know, the camera peripheral released by Sony for the PS2 that created a brand new experience where you use your whole body to interact with the game and was later upgraded for the PS3 (Eye) and now being used to power the Move. The Eye can replicate many of the same experiences that Kinect is able to achieve via its camera. You don't need a camera capable of 3d tracking to play many of the games MS demonstrated at e3. Calling the Move a ripoff of the Wii is akin to calling Kinect a ripoff of the Eye Toy.

One thing about Move though, because it relies on a camera (much like Kinect) the main problem Move has is response time. Which I imagine is what Jeff was experiencing with his demo of Move. Dan's disappointment from the device seems to come from the fact that he's wanting a simulator as opposed to a game controller and has more to do with the way the developers have chosen to utilize the Move controller. I really don't think he's put much thought into the repercussions a true 1:1 motion controller would have in games.

I was watching this weeks TRS and I just wanted to let the TRS guys know that Lumber Liquidators is a real store. When they were talking about Homefront it seemed that they thought it was a made up store because the game company couldn't get rights to the name Home Depot.
