E3 2009: Square Enix, Konami - Days 2 and 3

No surprises from the Square Enix press conference, other than the previously mentioned Final Fantasy XIV. Can't believe they are announcing this when Final Fantasy XIII has not come out yet. Really no news but FFXIII stuff.

At least Konami announced Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (yes... finally a Castlevania game!) and the previously announced Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot and Peacewalker. In addition to those there will be 2 more Metal Gear Solid games: Rising and Mask Project, plus Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Saw, another DDR and Karaoke Revolution, Pop'n Music Wii, Deca Sports 2 and Wireway.

The last 2 days I was not able to stay for too long at the shows due to deadlines. But I was able to play a lot more of the games. Got to play some of the other games in Wii Sports Resort, Tony Hawk: Ride, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, God of War 3, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Left4Dead 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Sonic All-Stars game, Harvest Moon puzzle game and the PSP Go.

That brings this year's E3 to an exciting close... wished this was longer and not during my deadlines though... Picked up some swag stuff here and there... not a whole lot, like the previous E3's I attended. Fewer shirts and bags. G4TV has already announced that the E3 dates and location for 2010, will be at the L.A. Convention Center again on June 15-17.
