I have to say I was pretty disappointed this year. Nearly all the games were FPSs or other games that really didn't interest me at all. There was only one that seemed mildly interesting...I think it was called "Assassin's Creed" or something like that. Oh, and "Mario Galaxy" seemed funny and pretty cool but I haven't exactly been happy with the Wii so far so I don't know if I'm going to try it.

Watching Raiden fight that guy who sort of resembles Vamp

made me not even want to play as Snake anymore. (I'm probably the only one that feels this way lol.)

YES! The MGS4 trailer was amazing! I had so many questions after watching it...like

what is SOP? And why wasn't Raiden affected by the nanomachines or whatever it was that Liquid Ocelot activated? And was it Meryl who said that she was the one who injected the nanomachine-Foxdie colony into Snake? It really should've been Naomi instead because when would Meryl have had the chance to do that? But then again, the voice didn't sound like Naomi. Also, I wonder what it is that Snake sees when he activates his eyepatch?

Raiden was fighting Vamp; what he said at the end "Could you be the one to finally finish me" was a giveaway. Since he survived at the end of MGS2, it's only appropriate he's in this game...plus, no one else can look like that

. I loved how beautiful it looks, the creases in the soldier's uniforms, the shadows on the grounds and walls, the wrinkles on Snake and Liquid-Ocelot's faces, the expressions...it's too bad we weren't able to see gameplay footage but if the gameplay looks like the cutscene sequences then it's all good.
