I thought that the fact that the presenters were all either developers/publishers/other people involved in games really set the tone well - as opposed to a bunch of celebrities who know nothing about the industry. I thought that it was really a celebration of games and gamers and it really made the industry look good, yknow? Deleting all those odd, stupid stereotypes that everyone else has..
I appreciated that the music/performance parts were still game centered and not just random stuff taken from places. I loved the fact that the Mario composer Koji Kondo was there playing at the start of the show. I especially very much appreciated the sort of lifetime achievement award they gave to the founders of Sierra.
The world premieres were nice, but nothing I hadn't seen before (except the new King's Quest). Overall, however, I thought it was a really good show and I look forward to watching it again next year.
Your thoughts?
