This game looks to be pretty sweet. Another game in the stealth genre (ala Metal Gear), but the guy in this one wears a funky suit that lets him turn invisible when he crouches (somehow more believable than hiding in a little shadow). He can also emulate the appearance of any character he takes a picture of.

So I dug around for a bit, and ran across some pretty thorough coverage of the games at E3 over at GameSpot. All sorts of good stuff coming up. In the FPS category, you’ve got Doom 3, Half-Life 2, Halo 2 that all look pretty good. There’s the next Grand Theft Auto (San Andreas). The next Gran Turismo looks absolutely amazing. And they’ve got a little info on the upcoming Zelda game.

Yeah, so Meijer had this great sale going on today. You could buy a GC for $99. And if that wasn’t good enough, you got 10% off anything you purchased. So you end up actually getting a GC for $89. Hard to pass up, so I didn’t. Got a couple of games (Animal Crossing and Mario Party 4) along with a 2nd controller so at least Amanda and I can play togeter. Been playing Animal Crossing ever since. Such a cute game. And they’re even nice enough to include a memory card with it, so I didn’t have to buy one just to play.

Now I have to find out what else is good out there. Looks like there are several candidates so far (Mario Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion, Metroid Prime, a slew of Resident Evils, etc). All sorts of Nintendo goodness.

Oh, and when did Nintendo snag the rights for the Resident Evil series? Doesn’t seem to really go with their ultra-cutesy, kid-friendly image. Lots of flesh-eating zombies…
