Sony have announced that they are partnering with Best Buy to offer games a chance to play with the Playstation Move. Start The Party and Sports Champions will be the games on offer. This event will take place on 15th June, from 6-9PM, at the following locations:
Ubisoft have released the first trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. this trailer is a montage of in-game gameplay. it highlights the games 16 BIT old school style graphics and side scroller beat'em up gameplay.
2K Have released a new trailer for XCOM. this trailer appears to be all in-game, either in-game CGi or gameplay. the trailer highlights the games 50's USA Style as well as the graphical strangeness this 50's style has the black goo enemies. the trailer appears to show a gameplay mechanic where you have to record/take pictures of the deceased, and also the FPS mechanics. The FPS appears to have some similarities with BioShock, especially in the way the main character carries grenades.
Lucas Arts have released the E3 2010 trailer for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. This epic CGi trailer features Starkiller being sentenced to death from Vader. Starkiller looses himself in his rage and sets out his revenge, killing many Storm Troopers and robots that try to stop him. the Trailer also ends in a little tease as to what Starkiller may face in his quest for revenge.
Sony have released a new E3 trailer for Gran Turismo 5. this trailer shows how much the game has progressed from the original PS1 game. the trailer doesn't feature any in-game footage, but the CGI footage does show many of the cars, NASCARs, and types of tracks that are in the game.
