e3

Hey this is Adrian reporting today from the first day of E3 at the Los Angles Convention Center. I spent most of the looking around, but spent a little time playing games also. Well ok so I spent a lot of times playing video games, but man was it worth it.

A few that I felt were really strong were "Wet" and "Rouge Warrior" both titles games from a company called Bethesda. First one up was "Wet," a free form fighting game based on a hot chick with guns and a samurai sword. To sum up what free form fighting is think of putting "Kill Bill," "Dynasty Warriors," "Devil may Cry," and "The Matrix" all in one package and you have the game. To put it simply, you get all of the strengths and none of the drawbacks, you use acrobatics, slow mo and use your ability to pull the trigger as fast as you can. The guns at your hips, and the sword on your back are only small part, the entire environment is your weapon, if you can jump it slide on it, climb it or run off of it, use it to your disposal.

"Wet" is the story about Rubi a gun for hire who takes on dirty jobs loads of cash. Specializing in "wet" jobs (jobs that get your hands wet... with blood), she uses all her athletic abilities to either put a bullet in the enemy or put that sword to good use by taking the enemy apart limb from limb (no seriously, limb from limb). If she gets pissed enough, Rubi enters "Rage" mode, after that all bets are off, she enters an animation mode where red is the main theme color and all you see are silhouette of white that become blood smears on the wall.

Next up is "Rouge Warrior."

"Rouge Warrior" is set in the cold warrior era of 1986 based on a book by Dick Marcinko. Marcinko is the personality of the game and the director. Specializing in counter-terrorism and a former navy seal all of Marcinko's tatics and training are in this one game. A first person shooter (FPS) that let's you feel what it was like to be the one a real one man army. You use stealth moves that kill your enemies instantly called kill moves. It's not exactly for children as the use of strong language and the fact that watching a knife go through a man's head isn't something you want a child to see. Other than that real time sneaking mission based on real counter-terrorist tatics. For those hardcore "Metal Gear" fans this one is for you, but if you just like being a trigger man don't hold back. "Rouge Warrior" is all about being able to the trigger as it is a FPS. If stealth isn't your style be loud about it, watch enemy after enemy pour in, be ready to pull the trigger and watch them fall at your feet.

That concludes Day one see you tomorrow.
