You can find tagged GC '08 coverage at Kotaku and IGN:
My too-brief sum-up:
- Art travesty
- I'm going to explode waiting for MadWorld and Left 4 Dead
- I wonder if Heavy Rain will be the system seller for me
- The inclusion of the Joker and Green Lantern (and associated gameplay mechanics) give me hope MK vs. DCU won't be too derivative
- Sony is pushing MMO on consoles by adding Free Realms to DC Universe Online and The Agency
- The PS3 Wireless Keypad looks like a usability mistake (above the gamepad? WTF?)
- The PSP 3000 (sleeker, brighter screen, microphone (Skype), etc.) could give Sony a decent revenue lift
- Sony certainly seems to get that making the console the center of the living room takes space, and is meeting that need with a new 160Gb model (though I cry "hypocrite!" at their original public badmouthing of Microsoft's multiple Xbox 360 SKUs)
- I'm hoping the new 360 game pad with non-crappy D-Pad is not a region-based limited release -- even though that means I'll need to buy 4 new controllers
- Upcoming Gamebryo-powered PC / 360 action RPGer Divinity 2 -- Ego Draconis showed well and was received well
- Spider-Man: Web of Shadows may lift the franchise out of its video game doldrums
- I want to play the likes of Little Big Planet, Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic, and more, but they're not enough for me to buy a PS3 (for reference, if I didn't have one, I probably would have bought a 360 for Braid)
- I feel like Microsoft's split focus on GC 2008 and X08 has made it hard for me to get first-party coverage on either
