Eat one piece of candy and it's a delicious treat. Eat 300 pieces of candy and you'll be curled up on the floor begging for someone to end your miserable existence.
So it is with the E3 videogames conference. There comes a time every year when the giddy rush of seeing tomorrow's games today wears off and you find yourself helpless, pummelled by a massive onslaught of titles. On Thursday alone, for instance, I saw Age of Conan, Kane and Lynch, Fallout 3, Flatout Ultimate Carnage, two Looney Tunes games, Rise of the Argonauts, Turning Point, Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron, Thrillville: Off The Rails, Lego Star Wars Complete, The Force Unleashed, Fracture, Call of Duty 4, Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, Castlevania Rondo of Blood, Hellboy: Science of Evil, Contra for DS, Silent Hill Origins, Dewey's Adventure, The Agency, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Harvey Birdman, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Rocketmen, Puzzle Fighter, Wii Fit, Super Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Super Mario Strikers.
Many of them are good, some excellent, but I'm definitely approaching my 300th piece of candy. Anyone for a game of chess?
