One of Nintendo's biggest games shown at E3 was of course Red Steel 2, the game taking place in a unique fantasy setting was the interest of many at the show. Red Steel 2 promises very accurate controls compared to the original, this is due to the Wii motion plus which will be required to play the game. From the gameplay videos and demos shown the game seems like it's shaping up rather well, with the ability to switch between sword and gun at anytime. Red Steel 2 along with, the new Dead Space, and Resident Evil titles looks to bring in an older audience on the kid friendly platform. Click to view more images.

It was announced by Microsoft last year at E3 that with their installment of the NXE (New Dashboard Experience) update released later that year 2008 were going to have a Prime Time category. Not being ready in time for the NXE, Microsoft said it will come out sometime in spring. Exactly one year from its original announcement we finally get our hands on it.

The long awaited rumor of Microsoft entering the motion scene is no longer just a rumor, it has finally made its debut. It was thought Microsoft would announce a motion like controller at last years E3 but with no mention those talks quickly fizzled into dust. Today at Microsoft's Press conference we got a glimpse of it, not in the form of a motion wand controller however but of a new vision camera ? Yes you heard correct this camera code name "Project Natal" is able to detect full 3D movements within the game for a totally new experience.

Probably the least expected and talked about sequel made an appearance today June 1st 2009 at Microsoft's E3 press conference: Crackdown 2 was shown in trailer form. For those of you you who missed the first game, its a sandbox game similar to Grand Theft Auto, only your a cop that can become supercharged allowing you to jump, run, and attack in a way that's closer to a super hero than an officer. Not too many details of the title are out yet, the trailer was not that of gameplay footage. We'll have the info of how the game will play soon.

Left 4 Dead 2 was shown off at Microsoft's Press Conference, the video was only a trailer but the game is available to play at the show floor. The game this time takes place in the American south, Louisiana to be exact. The game's new feature will be melee weapons, an aspect that wasn't in the original. Where the original title had you just hit the undead with your gun, the squeal will allow players to wield chainsaws, bats, frying pans and a many other weapons. Interestingly enough the game also takes place during the daytime, the original took place completely at night. Value has mentioned the game will have a "deeper" level of cooperative gameplay, stay tuned as we learn more.
