E3 2005, Next-Gen Systems, Blu RSS, and heavy linking

E3 is all done and finished as of yesterday. It was a hard up year, with news on the Xbox 360, PS3, Gameboy Micro, and of course the Revolution! Check out all the Portagame E3 news during this past week. Who knows, there may be more too.

So what’s with all the Next-gen, non-Handheld links? Well, I took the first couple of weeks in May and started working on a pet project. This project would gather news and information for me on the subjects I’m interested in and the subjects I report on here and in other places across the net. The project is basically a series of online RSS readers for my personal use, but displayed publicly. I’m still hacking on them, and not quite sure what the finished version will be like. It’s like a sandbox. I currently call the project Blu RSS, or BluRSS for short. And yes, one of the subjects of huge interest to me, was E3. For the most part, BluRSS is fairly automated. So I will be able to turn the majority of my attention back to Portagame.

Also, while we’re on the topic of E3, did you catch all the E3 news over at 4ColorRebellion? Or what about Ferrago, which includes all the headlines from the best gaming sites on the net (including Portagame). Our pal dmgice had some well done video coverage, especially of the Gameboy Micro. Also check out NDS.Progressive who caught the DS version of A Boy and His Blob (nice!). Don’t miss the console videos dug up by iamlegend. Or the DS title list. I’ll be doing PSP, Gizmondo and GBA wrapups this weekend too, so stay tuned. There’s plenty more out there, these are just to help you get started. We didn’t see anything Tapwave or GP32 related, looking specifically for third-party applications. We didn’t expect any either, so no big deal. Next year we’ll do a scavanger hunt or something.
