A lot of great trailers came from E3 a couple weeks back, but KOEI had two of my most-anticipated titles there with gameplay. The visceral and bloody Legends of Troy, and the over-the-top Fist of the North Star will both remind you these aren’t the much-gentler Dynasty Warriors titles.
So, here’s the thing… We’ve got so much swag from E3, we can’t give it all away just yet. Most of the items are for games that aren’t out yet (like download codes), and we also have some add-ons for Kinect as well. Rest assured, we’ll give it all away soon, but each item will be much more relevant when we do. This will include download codes, t-shirts, flash drives, and more.
While we don’t typically run two simultaneous contests, there are a few items that we want to share with you now. For starters, we’re giving away the only Avatar swag item found at E3 this year: An animated Avatar helicopter prop (from the Project Natal Cirque Du Soleil event). We’re guessing you haven’t seen it anywhere, and we’ve got two of them to share with you. Available for the low, low price of 99,999 Microsoft points, you can either buy it with your life savings of points, or win one here. Here’s how to enter:

Gaming Accessories. Not everyone uses them, but for those who do, they know that they can drastically improve gameplay. We had a chance to sit down with several different audio accessory companies at E3, including SteelSeries, NOX Audio, and Turtle Beach.

An Xbox Live Arcade title, Blacklight Tango Down is a first-person shooter set for release later this summer. Similar to EA’s Battlefield 1943, this title boasts 12 multiplayer maps (up to 16 players), in addition to four 4-player coop missions.
While we weren’t able to see too much of EA’s booth due to scheduling, we were able to speak with the EA team and discuss Madden 11 with them. Releasing on August 10, 2010, Madden 11 will feature a variety of gameplay updates, including a brand new play-calling system called GameFlow.
Sonic is back! We took the VIP tour of the SEGA booth and took a look at all four of their upcoming Xbox titles. While they’ll be releasing the first of the Dreamcast-ported titles “very soon” (Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure), Vanquish and Sonic Free Riders are still several months away. Read on for some photos and our full impressions.
Metal Gear Solid: Rising is shaping up to be a very promising game. From watching the trailer, it’s apparent that the focus will be on swordplay and cutting through pretty much anything that gets in your path.
Oh, Microsoft… Not only did you release a new slimmed-down console, but now you have this device called Kinect coming in November? Well, you sold us.
We had a chance to tour the booth, as well as play with their newest innovations. Read on for our thoughts and some photos, as well as a complete list of all the titles shown at their booth.
This year at E3, THQ was showing off a plethora of titles, and several of them will be available on the Xbox 360. We took the tour, so read on for our thoughts and details on some of their newest games.
Patrick first reported about the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier demo in his Ubisoft Press report, but now there’s video evidence of the game in action. Taking cues from Splinter Cell: Conviction, Ubisoft has crafted a unique mix of stealth and FPS mechanics. Watching the demo has raised my anticipation level for this title tenfold and puts this at the top of my queue for 2011. I’ll let the footage do the rest of the talking. Hit the jump and prepare to be blown away.
