E3: Sony

Like Nintendo, Sony had quite a lot of announcements at their keynote.  The biggest for many was the announcement of the PSP-Go, a new, smaller form-factor portable device similar to the PSP-3000.  The -Go has no removable media (other than flash media storage) so all the software you want has to be downloaded through the Playstation store.  Oh yeah, and the device itself costs $249.  Not exactly a paradigm shift there for Sony.

A new game from the group behind Ico was announced: The Last Guardian.  Ico was praised as a arty, emotional game, and is one of the best-looking titles (at least from a design perspective) on the PS2.  The new game has a lot to live up to.  Maybe this time they'll spring for some voice actors.

God of War III got a release date: March 2010.  Gran Turismo PSP also got a release date: October 2009.  Gran Turismo 5 release date: probably at least a year off.  No mention of it from Sony, and they'd let us know if it was coming, I'm sure.  Maybe once the PSP version is done.

Also Final Fantasy XIV.  Seriously, fourteen games?  I've played one.

Well, Assassin's Creed 2 should be good.
