The best thing that comes out of E3 has to be the trailers and I have a ton of the best ones right here. So check them out, starting with the Assassin’s Creed 2 trailer that I absolutely loved. This is definitely the easiest feature I’ve posted on this website. Assassin’s Creed 2 Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO (yes, I know it’s not on PS3) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (make sure to watch to the end) Final Fantasy XIII Gran Turismo PSP Final Fantasy XIV Gran Turismo 5 The Last Guardian (AkA Project Trico)

inFamous is the first PS3 game from fabled Sony development studio, Sucker Punch Productions, creators of the Sly Cooper series, and their experience with this type of game definitely shows. inFamous is a 3rd person action game where you play as Cole who was granted super powers following an explosion that destroyed most of Empire City, the fictional city in which the game takes place.
I describe this game as a cross between Spiderman 2, Assassin’s Creed and Bioshock. It takes the open world gameplay of Spiderman 2, the climb-on-anything mechanics of Assassin’s Creed and the good vs. bad morality choices of Bioshock to create a very compelling and fun game. The game’s strength is really it’s story. It’s a very story driven game. It puts it’s players in the situation of “alright, you’ve got superpowers, now what?” While the morality choice system has taken a lot of heat in the enthusiast press I’m actually quite fond of it.
While it does split the game it can be very fun to play through a game twice, two different ways, to see if there are different outcomes. I can’t go into the story too much because I don’t want to spoil it but it’s a very good story. The character of Cole is very engaging and Sucker Punch did a very good job of developing him, depending on your choices you..... See the original post: inFamous Review

Darksiders: Wrath of War to wreak havoc at this year E3? I sure hope so.
Introduction: The recession is taking a toll on the economy and game publishers are definitely feeling the pressure from it. Hopefully we all can overcome this catastrophe, especially THQ. For all my fellow gamers out there, I would like to remind all of you of this little game called Darksiders: Wrath of War. This game looks incredible and I’ve been waiting for this game ever since they announced it last year at E3. What the hell is Darksiders: WOW? According to my research the game is highly influenced from the Book of Revelations with the player taking the role of War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
What is the Book of Revelations about? For all the religous people out there, please correct me if I’m wrong about explaining the Revelation. The Book of Revelation is about the Christian leader John, who was exile to prison at the “Roman Island Patamos” (wherever that is) for refusing to worship the Roman emperor “Domitian” who thought of himself as God. John was provided a vision from the big Guy himself, showing him the end of days, also known as the Armageddon. Who is War? Anyone who’s familar with the Four Horsemen, should be familiar with War. He represents “blood spilled on the battlefield”. Just like in the great Book he carries a great sword for chopping some demons up.
