When it comes to video games, it's easy to get caught up in franchise mania. Certainly at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, games with numbers in their title seemed to hog most of the spotlight. Crysis 2, Gears of War 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3 — we're lookin' at you.

E3 has been like that for a long time. It's always sequels that overwhelm everything else. You can go back to the first E3, or ever the summer CES before it to see that. But sometimes a game has been absent for so long that a new game in that franchise is more like an original game than a sequel. kid Icarus, for instance.

There were other games shown besides what Nintendo had to offer? ...must have missed it.

Am I the only one really freaking excited about the remake of Mortal Kombat, the damn game looks like a pure winner to me. It's 3D graphics with 2D gameplay. Thanks to SF4 this type of gameplay is now spreading.

I'm looking forward to Metroid: Other M and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I still haven't finished Twilight Princess. I accidentally erased my save state but now that I got over the anger I may try again

And I predict next year's over-hyped E3 will have Nintendo offering all sorts of new things: Metroid, Mario Bros, Zelda, ad nauseum.
