NFL Tour: A lot like NFL Street (it is the same team who made it), this is a arcade football game. There are huge tackles, awesome slo-mo shots, and tons of big hits. If the full game is anything like what I played (a 2 month from being complete demo) then this will be one of the best football games of the year. An EA rep I talked to said they would like to get a demo out on XBLM before the game hits early next year.
Super Mario Galaxy: This was the second game I played today, thankfully there was no line so I just walked up and played. I tried two levels from the game, the first level was a small planet made up of blocks which you had to switch to yellow blocks by walking over them. The controls took a little getting used to (seeing as how I died 3 times :( ). The second level was a large area that looked a lot like your standard mario level, lots of platforming and lots of enemies. I got to try Marios "Bee Suit" which allows you to fly around. The demo timed out on me as I fought the boss so I can't speak too much about the boss fights, I can say that the graphics are amazing for a Wii game and shows that with a little work you CAN make a good looking Wii game.
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles: This game kinda surprised me by how unpolished it was. There was a ton of slowdown, bad gesture detection, and was generally unfun to play. I played it with the Wii Zapper, which was comfortable and easy to use, just not for this game. In general, I was just disappointed.
Wrap-Up: Tons of swag and misc pics.
