What a lovely cover for a lovely game, eh? Well, this is, as you might expect from the date, an article about E3. The title in English was “Beware the Quiet ones”, and as such I spend most of it discussing how loud and bombastic both the PS3 and Wii were compared to the Xbox 360, and how, in the end, the only machine with a game which truly blew my away was on the 360 (the excellent Dead Rising, of course.)

Rather a fair thought, really. The Xbox 360’s online aspects blow away both the PS3 and the Wii, and I have more of an urge, absurdly, to go back and play Gears of War again than I do to start playing even Twilight Princess. Some people might argue my tastes have changed, or something, but I think that’s a load of pants. Microsoft might just, you know, have actually got it right this generation. I don’t doubt that the Wii is going to carve its own (very secure) niche, however.
