Just Cause 2 Preview from E3

With E3 being such a big expo, it's a challenge to keep all the games you see straight. But one game I can't stop thinking about is Just Cause 2. Although I haven't played the first installment of the franchise, I'm really surprised at how much I'm looking forward to the second title in the series. If you aren't familiar with the it either, let me break it down for you: you play as Rico Read more

Star Wars Nintendo DS Stylus Pack Found at 2009 E3

I'll admit it, I haven't shown that much love to the My Favorite Gadgets group lately, but trust me, it's not due to lack of options! Worthy of its own entry, I found this DS Stylus pack at E3, and couldn't get over how I haven't seen them anywhere before. I mean, a light up Lightsaber-shaped stylus? Come on, that's too easy! Although I didn't grab a pack for myself while hitting up the merch Read more

Milo Project From Lionhead Studios

Before I even got the chance to touch down in LA last week, gaming news began pouring out of E3, and one of the biggest conversation starters was Milo. Milo is a program brought to you by Lionhead Studios and Peter Molyneux (of Fable fame), which allows you to interact with an artificially intelligent boy on screen. Personally, I don't know what to think! On one hand, the technology it takes to Read more

Mini Ninjas Takes Cute to the Next Level at E3

To say that Mini Ninjas is cute is an understatement. I already knew I was falling for this game back when I first saw the trailer, but I had no idea how great it would be until I got my hands on it at E3. It's not only a cute game, but it's totally addictive and really, really fun too. As the story goes, you play as one of three student ninjas (you can switch back and forth between once they are Read more

Power A DS Lite Cases

Although my eyeballs were plastered to LCDs for the majority of E3, I managed to take some breaks and head on over to the merch booths. I picked myself up one of these DS Lite organizers, which caught my eye from their resemblance to the one that comes with the lime green DS bundle. Brought to you by Power A, who makes tons of portable gaming accessories, you can get your own case from Target (my Read more

Coming with 45 songs to choose from (either stocked, or as downloads) you have a serious collection of playable music from the best band, like ever. I can't tell you how excited I've been for this to be released Read more

geeksugar Puts the PSP and PSP Go Head-to-Head With LittleBigPlanet

I got the chance to check out LittleBigPlanet on the PSP yesterday, and put it to a head-to-head test on Sony's latest console, the PSP Go. So after fiddling around with both for a few minutes, I asked myself: "Which is better?" It's really hard to say. I mean, you'd think that moving from one PSP to the other would be as simple as moving from the DS to the DS Lite, but then, you would be wrong. Read more

I have to admit that I was a little confused before I met with the Yoostar peeps at E3 yesterday, but after getting my hands (and face) on the product, my mind was made up: I want one of these.

Yoostar enables you to digitally embed your voice, picture, and action Read more

Splinter Cell Conviction Is the Sham Wow of E3

If you've seen the infomercials for ShamWow on late-night TV, then I'm assuming you're a proud owner of the super absorbent shammy. I know I am. So when I saw this guy at the Ubisoft booth at E3 yesterday, it totally reminded me of the commercial. He was so excited about the new features in Splinter Cell Conviction that he had a huge crowd forming! Hey, if you weren't already excited to play the Read more

Active Life: Extreme Challenge at E3

When I arrived in LA yesterday, I had no idea that my day would begin with a workout — and I'm not talking about my hotel's gym! I'm talking about the demo of Active Life: Extreme Challenge at the Namco Bandai booth here at E3. Not only is Active Life: Extreme Challenge fun, but it packs a punch too. The minigames you play are unexpected (including street luge, jump rope, wind surfing, and base Read more
