Fun Fact: Mr. Marbles is an accomplished musician who can play a number of different instruments
Name: Chris Morell (Mr. Marbles)
Number of previous E3's you've attended: 3
Year your first E3 took place: 2004
What was your overall impression of this year's E3?
It was a redundant smorgasbord of games I've already seen and previously rumored announcements that finally got "officially" confirmed. It didn't have that massive feeling of industry importance and gigantic spectacle of years past. It was kind of like the new Transformers movie. It was cool and all, but did we really need it?
How did it compare to E3's of past years? Was it better, worse or just as good?
As an industry showcase and media convention, it was a little less important and informative. But from a convenience standpoint, it was much better. Plus, anytime you go from the hustle and heat of Downtown LA to the soothing beaches of Santa Monica, you really can't go wrong.
What was the most memorable moment of this year's E3?
A discovery I can't talk about, but it'll probably slip out eventually. Oh, and watching SonOfTheShiningPath urinate off a 6th-floor hotel balcony.
Rock Band captured the attention of Mr. Marbles and pretty much every other E3 attendee
Who had the best E3: Microsoft, Nintendo or Sony?
I'm going with Microsoft. In terms of announcements and general news, I'd say they were all about even, but MS had the best setting and the most impressive video and audio setup for all the cool trailers and videos shown. Also, they had a bigger private demo presence, meaning more hands-on time with new and big games.
Which game left the biggest impression on you?
Easy: Rock Band. This game continues to blow me away every time I see or play it. Talk about taking all of the wind out of Guitar Hero's sails.
Which game was the most disappointing?
I know it's technically not a game, but the Wii Zapper was downright stupid. $20 for a piece of plastic? Puh-lease
Did you see any games with the potential to be a sleeper hit? Why did it catch your eye?
A THQ Wii game called de Blob. It's like Marble Madness had sex with Jet Grind Radio, then dunked the offspring in a big vat of watercolors.
