However, the embed code for the third portion of the is poorly made and will not work on this post. I have included a link instead.

E3: Gears of War 3
6:45 PM |

Nick
In 2006 a little game came along that revolutionized the third person shooter and took the gaming world by storm. This game is commonly referred to as Gears of War. Since its 2006 release, Gears has spawned a dedicated following, a massive expanded universe (including a series of novels written by the fantastic author Karen Traviss), and a 2008 sequel. Next April, Epic Games plans to release the third game in the Gears of War franchise to an anxious public.
The new campaign features four player co-op, new weapons including a double barreled shotgun, a player piloted mech suit, and a storyline written by Karen Traviss. The plot will also resolve the numerous plot threads from the previous games.
Multiplayer combat will return featuring new modes including the violent and chaotic " Beast Mode", where you play as the villainous Locust. (Shown below)

I personally haven't gotten the chance to play any Golden Sun, but I know the features of this new one.
This is what I've learned from Nintendo. The story takes place 30 years after the final events of the second game, when the Golden Sun Effect occurred. The main characters are the descendents of the previous game's heroes. Intuitive touch-screen control has been implemented throughout the game, controlling character movements and the release of Psynergy - magical abilities with powerful effects over people and the environment. Touch control also streamlines battle commands and gives players a stronger tactile connection to the action on the screen.Players will explore a vast world where they will find many treasures, encounter dangerous creatures and manipulate objects blocking their path. Players will also hunt for and collect Djinn, mysterious elemental creatures used to summon monsters in battle.

E3: James Bond GoldenEye For the Wii

Perhaps one of the most influential shooters of all time was James Bond: Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64. Filled with exciting action, well designed gameplay, and addictive multiplayer Goldeneye was one of the best selling games for the 64. Now Activision, who has held the license for games based off the James Bond franchise, has just announced that they are re imagining Goldeneye for the Wii.
However, this reboot is more then a simple remake. It will be a complete rehaul of the game for the new era and console. Daniel Craig and Judi Dench will be adding their likenesses and voice talent to the game, which bases itself off the modern Bond films. The game will also be designed by Eurocom, the company most known for its work on Deadspace: Extraction. Like the Dead Space prequel Goldeneye will use in depth and scripted story telling to add to the narrative.
The gameplay is fluid and versatile, having characters climb, use stealth in addition to blowing away with high powered rifles. The game will also use contemporary FPS systems including ammo systems and regenerating health. Goldeneye also will utilize a customizeable Wii Remote, similar to The Conduit. However, gameplay using the Classic Controller is also offered.
Unique to Wii shooters, Goldeneye will feature online multiplayer. This also will include a player leveling system similar to the Call of Duty franchise.
The game is due for release this November.

E3: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Zelda has not only an important place in video game history, but has been a central part of E3 since its beginning. Whether its Shigeru Miyamoto slashing away with a sword and shield or disappointing concept art, our green capped hero Link has been a presence at the yearly event for years. This year Nintendo treated fanboys with a glimpse at its brand new The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword due for release next year.
Returning to the stylized look vaguely reminiscent of Wind Waker, Link returns with a brand new quest. While very little details have been released on the story so far, Nintendo demonstrated a rather lengthy look at the gameplay. Although not the first Zelda game on the Wii, Skyward Sword pushes the Wii's motion technology farther then ever before. Utilizing the Wii Motion Plus gameplay system, the game exhibits fluid and swift moving combat. Also feature is archery similar to that featured in Wii Sports Resort.
Look below for glimpses at the games reveal at the Nintendo press conference, and the official gameplay trailer.

Although the Mass Effect DLC's tend to be a mixed bag, it is still always a pleasure to have a reason to return to spend time with Shepard and his crew. However, the latest DLC Overlord, which was shown at this year's E3, looks to be the breath of fresh air that Mass Effect fans have been waiting for.

E3 Coverage: Metroid Other M

Metroid Other M looks to be a changeoff between 2.5D and RPG/Shooter elements. I'm not sure how I feel about this new entry, but it looks like the Morph Ball is back (shocker), among other favorites like the Ice Beam, Missiles (ever the fan favorite; SO VERSATILE), Super Bombs, and the Varia Suit. Overall, few details were revealed about the upcoming addition to the Metroid franchise.
Nick's Update: Metroid: Other M is a blend of intense FPS shooter, action platforming, and a 2D sidescroller. It allows the player to switch between modes by swithcing their Wii Remote. Vertical switches to first person, and horizontal treats the player to a more traditional Metroid view. This change in camera view and gameplay creates intense action set pieces, and allows for creative ways of defeating massive alien bosses. Switching view points also offers a tactical exploration technique, revealing details that would not be seen in other modes.
The game is scheduled for release August 31st of this year.

E3: Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

There are few fighting games as beloved as the Marvel vs Capcom franchise. The games first made their stamp on the world of video games in crowded arcade rooms, and won over thousands with their over the top action scenes, colorful characters, and quick gameplay.
Now after more then a decade of anticipation, Capcom has announced Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which was shown at this year's E3. Captain America, Chris Redfield, Dante, Deadpool, Felicia, Hulk, Iron Man, Morrigan, Ryu, and Wolverine have all been revealed to be playable characters in this ensemble cast.
When it comes to core game mechanics, little has changed from the previous installment. Players still choose teams of three and duke it out in fast paced combat. However, a new system, known as launcher attacks, has been added that allows a stream of midair combos to be performed that lift enemy opponents into the air.

Yes SuckerPunch`s sequel, inFamous 2 has just premiered it's trailer and it looks as though Cole has changed for the better and worse. It seems like the voice actor for Cole has changed and the voice is lighter. Next Cole is toting a heavy metal lightning conducting rod he swinfs like a mace. The final shock is that he apparently now boasts ice powers along with the good old lightning. I think I speak for everyone when I ask what the hell happened? Well I have faith.

E3: TWISTED METAL ANNOUNCED

To my fist pounding, cheering surprise, a new Twisted Metal was just announced. And let me say, I REALLY WANT IT! But enough about my needs, the game looks fantastic and the chaos is back and better than ever. Of course the game this time around will host a massive list of madcap weapons, stages, vehicles, and characters. It seems a few characters are returning including Dollface from TM:Black and the ever iconic Sweet-tooth. The new game also supports co-op game modes, such as Twisted Metal Nuke. Nuke is a team objective match in which two factions (following characters i.e. Dolls, Clowns, and so on)attempt to capture the other sides leader and sacrifice him to a missile launcher to destroy the opposing forces giant statue (its as crazy as it sounds). Also its seems they've added flying vehicles as well. The trailer displayed a helicopter destroying everything. And this time around each vehicle has two specials (much like how two hidden blades made AC better). Well I'm eagerly anticipating further information on the newest addition to the longest running PlayStation franchise.
