E3 Games and Celeb Guests
Jun 4, 2009 By: Jessica Kosinski
E3, as you, hopefully, already know, is a video game preview expo, but it’s really more like a giant video gaming party. The stars that graced E3 with their presence this year certainly helped to keep the party going.
It all began last Monday night, June 1, 2009. The festivities started at the Wiltern Theatre, where there was definitely a party atmosphere, as VIP’s gathered to see the show. Jay-Z and Eminem took the stage to plug DJ Hero, Guitar Hero’s latest incarnation. Guest geeks like Leonardo Dicaprio and Kim Kardashian were on hand to view the show.
Of course, that was only the beginning, though. There were also closer looks at the latest and greatest games and game consoles, in many cases being plugged by celebrity guests.
In fact, Steven Spielberg made an appearance and talked about a super-cool new gaming technology. It’s called Project Natal and, once it’s fully operational, Steven claims that it’ll be controller free. That’s right, it’ll be a gaming experience like no other, according to the movie legend.
It’ll be able to recognize your face and your voice and follow your every command or movement. Talk about getting wrapped up in your game! Steven even proved his point by showing a demo, which was spooky, yet effective. A boy on the screen watched, as a person moved around the room, his eyes constantly following along.
The Beatles: Rock Band, got even more celebrity support. Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Dhani Harrison (George’s son), were all on hand to talk about the new game and how great they think it is. Lennon and Harrison would be proud, too, I’m sure!
Then there was James Cameron. He showed up to discuss Avatar, his new movie. While it’s probably wonderful, the Ubisoft game version promises to be much more interesting, at least to us gamers.
The game is a third-person shooter, which, in and of itself, isn’t that unusual. The cool thing about it, though, is that it is set in a 3-D forest world. Yes, I said 3-D! So, you can really get lost in the game experience!
Then there’s Daisy Fuentes and her pilates game for Wii. Wii players are big on fitness lately, so that’s no surprise. According to Daisy, this new pilates game can be played using Wii Fit or the regular Wii controller, too, for added convenience.
So, as you can see, the starts just kept coming during the whole event. Of course, there was no shortage of average gamer geeks on the street, either. Many of them enjoyed hearing some of their favorite starts speak about some of their favorite games.
Then there were the classic and the newer favorites. There will be new games to be had in the God of War series and the Mario series, for example. Then there’s the new Playstation portable, which is going to be decked out in Hannah Montana style, with typical eye-catching colors.
Everything that happened at the gaming convention is just too much to put in to one article. Suffice it to say, though, that all the game bases were covered. It’s shaping up to be a great year for gaming!
