No chance in hell you get the full experience in one day, especially when waiting an hour or more for certain games. Glad I got to try out a few games, though. Mass Effect 3. Final Fantasy XIII-2. Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Would have tried out The Old Republic but the line was supposedly 2 hours long. Got to play some lesser known games, wasn't too impressed with any of them. Hung around the Nintendo section for a while, but never got around to Skyward Sword.

I'm definitely planning on going back (or going to PAX East) and doing the full three days. Got to meet some of my favorite guy's from Rooster Teeth (Burnie Burns, Gus, Jack from Achievement Hunter) and got their autographs. Tried to buy Gus' shirt for $50, but he wouldn't budge.

Ok, so they seemed to have upped the customization a bit (two guys behind me talked about how much better ME1 is than ME2. I didn't strangle them because they seemed like nice guys). I especially liked the ability to add/change aspects of your gun.

The cover system has been revamped, but not necessarily for the better. Pressing A doesn't just move you in and out of cover anymore. You have to move your thumbstick in a certain direction. If you don't, Shepard does a side-ways roll into either A) another section of cover (which sucks when you want to rush enemies or just plain move forward) or B) right out into the open. You have to make sure you're thumbstick is pushing forwards so you can rush out of cover.

The omni-blade appears to be straight up broken. It kills anything in one blow and there's no recharge time. Plus, they gave us an inflatable version of that, and that's awesome.

But for the most part, I am highly pleased with what I've seen, even if the cover system is a bit wonky. I'm expecting it to be an issue more of getting used to it than it being legitimately not good.

Cool man, thanks for the hands-on impressions. I keep daily tabs on the game's development but there's no replacement for talking with someone who's actually played it.

Was it at least an experience worth trying?

I'm still in the process of getting sunday tickets assuming my buyers don't fall through.

Brawl is like ZSS' breasts. Well rounded for casual players.

If I ever do it again (highly likely) I'm going for the 3 days. One day just isn't enough.
