EA has some pretty good game offerings this year at E3. I have to say that EA and Ubi had better conferences, on the whole, than the big three did. Honestly, as much as we love the gadgets that enhance our gaming experience, what gamers truly care about the most is games. I feel like the big three focused more on how much they had sold (was anyone else sick of Sony pointing out their amounts sold and profits earned?) and the hardware, as opposed to the games. In the end, I was craving more from all of them. That’s why these gaming companies did better, in my ever so humble opinion.

The people behind Bulletstorm are People Can Fly, a company out of Warsaw, Poland (I love Poles, I’m 50% Polish American, by the way – not that you care). At the EA conference on Monday, I was touched by how much feeling these developers seemed to have about this game. They really wanted to make a good game, and it shows in the quality of what was presented at E3.

For those who do not know anything about Bulletstorm, let me give you just a little info on the game. Bulletstorm is (obviously) a FPS. The game takes place in a future setting. The story follows Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato. These two are members of a group of mercenaries called Dead Echo. However, when the men find out that their service to Dead Echo is being exploited for purposes that are the opposite of their job (protecting the confederation), they are betrayed by their own commander and are left to fend for themselves at the ends of the galaxy.

Gamers play as Grayson. It has been a few years since the two were exiled, and he is now a drunk pirate of space. When Grayson meets up with Ishi again, they decide to work together to take on the mutants and gangs of flesh eaters on the planet where they are stuck. The goal is to live and get off the planet to enact revenge on their commander. Grayson has at his disposal an insane arsenal of weapons and a bunch of combat moves that will allow for players to take on just about anything. Players will be rewarded for causing trouble through the skillshots gameplay system, allowing for character and weapon upgrades.

Epic Games and EA plan to release Bulletstorm on February 22, 2011, but as we all know, in the land of gaming, dates are bound to change. Either way, expect it sometime in early 2011.
