Ah well. You can't win em all. Either this or no E3 news in the forums at all.
Go to the OP and look at all those links/trailers. Picture every single link being a seperate thread. That would be easily 3-4 pages alone in the video game news section. Not only would the font page be nothing but trailers and announcements, but the video game news section would be nothing but reposts ontop of it all.

Last year - this was the case. This year - this is the best solution. So far, it's worked great. The mods love it, I love it, clearly others love it. The only complaints I've gotten are you and El Mike the Mike - so, it's not saying much compared to last year were the entire forum was ranting/flaming.

We're sure the lot of you would rather hear about the intricacies of the single player campaign of BioShock 2 that we divined from our time with the game at E3 -- unfortunately, 2K wasn't keen on sharing any new details about the story of the core game. What we did get a chance to see was the multiplayer portion of the undersea follow-up -- a feature that we've yet to hear much about before today.

Watching the six-player deathmatch BioShock 2 demo was kind of like watching your beloved family dog sing opera. Mind you, this dog sang opera really well, but still, watching your canine companion sing is a somewhat unsettling experience. For some reason, it's ingrained in our minds that BioShock is meant to be experienced on ones lonesome. When you strip the rich story away from the game and toss in multiplayer elements, you end up with a product that, despite its strengths, seems a bit out of its element.

The multiplayer demo, which was performed by staffers from Digital Extremes, creators of the PS3 version of BioShock and developers of the sequel's multiplayer portion, explained the character customization options that would be featured in the game. Said customization takes place in each player's own personal apartment. From this hub, players can change their appearance, customize their weapons and plasmid loadouts, and check out a few story elements that innervate the multiplayer experience.

It's been a long time coming, but Gran Turismo PSP is finally coming out. Finally re-revealed at the Sony press conference, Gran Turismo is shaping up to be a thoroughly comprehensive experience worthy of the franchise moniker. Our first hands-on with Gran Turismo (on a PSP go) left us impressed, a good thing considering its official release is not too far away: October 1st.

Obviously, the most immediately striking aspect of the game must be its visuals. During the conference, we stated the game looked just as good as GT4 on PS2. Upon closer look on the PSP go, it's clear that the visuals are downgraded a bit. But really, just a bit. Anyone that looks at GT running on the PSP will be impressed that handheld technology has gone so far to create such detailed visuals at 60 fps.

The Gran Turismo series attempts to recreate the most realistic driving sim on the marketplace, but it's clear the PSP game won't be able to match the fidelity of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on PS3. The PSP controls hinder the experience a bit -- and no, we're not crying for a second analog stick. The lack of analog buttons make a difference in the way series vets may play the game.

The announcement of Super Mario Galaxy 2? Pretty much out of this world. Even better? Seeing for yourself what the game looks like in action. Yoshi swinging by his tongue, Mario making flowers grow -- it's all here on some truly fantastic-looking new worlds (along with some fresh takes on returning ones). Excited? You should bee (suit). Let's-a go!

When we arrived at the Bandai Namco booth for our appointment today, we were immediately thrust into a back room and shown Tekken 6. We took it through the new Scenario mode, the series' evolution of Tekken Force Mode, and tried our hand at some of the classic brawling. Basically, it's still Tekken.

There's not much we can say about our latest hands-on session with Dark Void that we haven't said five times before. The jetpackery? Still breathtaking. The vertical cover system? Still brilliant. The visual presentation -- well, you get the picture. Needless to say, Capcom hasn't taken any of the previously seen awesome stuff out of the build we just played -- but they've added more than a few subtle differences that caught our eye and quickened our pulses.

The most important difference we noticed? The build of Dark Void we just played featured a helmetless Will, so perhaps it's time to cut out all the "toasterhead" jabs. Dude's got feelings, too.

The next Castlevania isn't being made by series legend Koji Igarashi -- it's coming from Metal Gear masters Kojima Productions. The game teased as "MASK" on the developer's E3 countdown site is, in reality, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. A 3D actioneer reminiscent of God of War, the game is under development at MercurySteam Entertainment, the studio behind American McGee's Scrapland and Clive Barker's Jericho, with Kojima Productions ... producing it.

There's already some Hollywood talent attached: British actor Patrick Stewert, best known for his role as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Kojima is not directly producing the game; rather, he's there to "support" MercurySteam on the game, which is slated for 2010.

During Konami's E3 press conference today, Kojima confirmed assumptions that Metal Gear Solid Rising will be multiplatform, now announced for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Kojima also shed some light on the mysteries of "lightning bolt action," calling Rising an experiment in building technology first. The project will be produced by a team of new, "young" staff.

Additionally, Kojima revealed the significance of the storm teaser from his website. Contrary to your seemingly accute observations, the storm merely symbolizes
