E3 is back baby. The rumor mill's been churnin hard and there's already been a few drops. I'm certainly excited about E3 again, and that hasn't happened in about three years.

So here's the topic for E3 links, video, discussion, whatever.

Gametrailers E3 section. Gamespot E3 live stream.

Awaken, my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind, the eternal will of the swarm, and that you have been created to serve me.

The leaks have already sprung. PSP Go.

* 3.8-inch display (resolution is undisclosed)
* 43 percent lighter than the PSP-3000
* 16GB of Flash storage
* Bluetooth built-in; supports handset tethering and BT headsets
* No UMD drive
* Memory Stick Micro slot
* New Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet and new Metal Gear Solid (!) on the way
* Full PlayStation Network support (movie and TV rentals / purchases)
* Integration with PlayStation 3 (works the same as the PSP-3000 does)
* Sony views each of its products as "10-year lifecycle products," so the PSP "needs to live on."

I'm sold!

They forgot to mention battery life though.

Ooops, this is Steven.

"No More Heroes is a really great game. A very amazing game. I think No More Heroes is a great game, there's no other action game like it for the Wii. If it was a band, it would be really energetic, like the Arctic Monkeys." - SUDA 51

Battery can't be any worse than the current PSP. No disc spinning sucking all the juice.

Oh wow the conference vids start tomorrow. Sony and Nintendo on Tuesday so that'll be the big day. Microsoft tomorrow but I don't think anyone is too excited for that.

Yeah... right...

Anyway, Actiblizz already held their psuedo press conference on Sunday. Activision is still going to be at E3, so there wasn't much stunning news out of this one. Best thing said is that Starcraft II will hit by the end of 2009, which I fully expected anyway, but nice to have it confirmed.

I think this link will have live streaming starting at noon our time.

Also, here is the gametrailers E3 section. Some stuff to catch up on in there if you haven't already.

Raiden May Cry. Halo, and more Halo. Some technology that is just begging to be used in "adult" software. Not a bad show Microsoft.

Erm, Left 4 Dead 2? Crackdown 2? More than decent showing I'd say.

I'd be more interested in L4D2 if it weren't an Xbox 360 exclusive...

Have to wonder what Nintendo is feeling right about now though.

L4D2 is 360 and PC, same as the first one.

Just finished watching EA's press conference, and there was a lot of impressive stuff there. The Old Republic cinematic trailer was particularly stunning. Ubisoft's is in a couple hours. Tomorrow's pressies have some big shoes to fill.
