So, since there's probably gonna be a lot of new stuff coming out and since I tend to dislike german videogame boards, here are some E3 news:

Valve is making Left 4 Dead 2. It's supposed to come out this fall.
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-left-4-dead/49967

Kojimas new game is apperantly a Metal Gear game starring Cyborg Raiden for 360. Which I frankly don't care about as long as I can't play MGS4 on my Box.

A remake of the original Monkey Island is coming to XBox Live


and a 5th (!!!) Monkey Island game is coming in episodic format to Wii


So, what else....ah yes. Splinter Cell 5 is coming. And there are rumors of a new Mario game, though nothing official yet.

Ah yes, they couldn't get enough of the horrible pill jokes so to make up for that they're doing things in reverse: one white guy and three black people. I do hope that the old gang is also still around, I like being Bill.

So we're replacing the pills jokes with the black on black crime jokes. Hurray!

Natal seems pretty awesome, but I'm worried it will devolve into a series of stupid mini games rather than a serious way to interact with the console.

YAY for E3 being E3 again.

Now Square-Enix wheres my FF13 and Kojima whats this new MGS your planning.

Thats all I want to know from this E3 tbh.

I doubt you'll see anything from Square-Enix. They and Capcom Japan can't leave the country due to Swine Flue.

edit: oh, and Metal Gear Solid is no longer "tactical espionage", they now call it "lightning bolt action".

For one thing they will be on the XBox now.

Multi-platform, going for both 360 and PS3.

While I am happy that the E3 is more focused on games again instead of who has the largest stand, there really isn't a whole lot for me to look forward to. Not unless there are a few surprise reveals planned tomorrow. I also hope that the US Army recruitment branch isn't dominating the expo halls again.

Gathering the Informations.

Not just Modern Warfare 2.

Project Natal was pretty damned impressive.
Kojima talked about redoing the Metal Gear games for the 360, as arcade or actual games.
Halo: ODST was revealed in full, with Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk voicing characters.

Halo: Reach was revealed as the next project, ending the teaser with "Spartans on the ground, sir. It's time to go to work."

All in all, Microsoft came out swinging.

That is a shame still one can hope.

Lightning Bolt Action, really please Anung say it aint so.

Okay, so here's the good stuff so far:

- Alan Wake is still around and supposedly coming out soon
- Space Marine will be getting a big info dump
- Modern Warfare 2 is also getting a big info dump
- Mass Effect 2 is slowly being unveiled and hyped

Meh stuff:
- L4D2 announced and revealed
- Monkey Island revealed, big meh as it is not done in the SCUMM engine
- Metal Gear "you're that whiney girl again" is officially shown off

Bad stuff:
- Another Halo has been announced, even though Bungie said that they'd stop doing halo after odst!

Bungie said *they'd* stop.
Halo: Reach is Peter Jackson's project, being published by Bungie.

I've not seen or heard anything to suggest that - and it seems unlikely considering Microsoft is Halo's publisher.

Regardless, the future of Halo looks good.

From the DeadPixel, a fresh broadcast on what's happening at E3.

That new L4d looks awesome, noting all the obvious flaws with the first L4D I can see that Valve has intended to recreate the kick ass survival horror game without the errors from the first.

Notable releases this month are (in order):
Sims 3
Prototype
Overlord 2
