For me I'm hoping that Nintendo will make up for the mess of a show that they put on last year. Obviously I'm not expecting anything unrealistic, but two or three must have games would be nice. I think most people are already expecting Pikmin 3 to be announced. Also, some new information about No More Heroes 2 would be nice.

That's what I'm interested in pretty much. Maybe heavy rain but idk, depends.

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

Some of you have heard around the internet and on some other threads on the BBS but I find this news to be very interesting.

Grand Theft Auto IV's second downloadable episode, The Ballad of Gay Tony injects Liberty City with an overdose of guns, glitz, and grime. As Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (aka "Gay Tony"), players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City delivers two games on one disc - the all-new episode The Ballad of Gay Tony and the first episode, The Lost and Damned - together on disc for the first time - for Xbox 360 for $39.99 and will not require a copy of the original Grand Theft Auto IV to play.

The Ballad of Gay Tony will release on Xbox LIVE this fall for $19.99 or 1600 MS points and requires players to have Grand Theft Auto IV for Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE membership to download.

You can buy both of the episodes on a disc (very cool) AND you don't need Grand Theft Auto 4?!

I pretty much doubt that you wouldn't need to ahve GTAIV to play "Expansions"....

That's what I'm saying. I didn't think that was possible. Unless they just put the city on the disc based copy so the city is already on there?

Well, it's possible but then again the expansion packs would be super expensive.

[Hemlok]

Dead Rising 2 is the only game I want to hear more about.

[Jonny879]

starfox for the wii would be nice

[Sweeper128]

There will be hardly any obscure Japanese titles, due to the Japanese Gaming Industries Lockdown on foreign travel. Capcom Japan and I think Namco are out. Only their American divisions will be about.

[Deadly-Shadow]

It would be nice, but the original creator of the series has already said that he's not interested in making another Star Fox game at the moment, so it may be awhile before we see another game in the series. If they do release a new game, then I hope that it goes back to the way Star Fox 64 was instead of having a bunch of annoying on land missions.

[desert116]

All I need is more information about Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

BioShock 2 dated for Nov 3 release in Europe. The only problem is, nobody knows on what console.

http://kotaku.com/5270710/bioshock-2-dat ed-coming-first-to-europe

There's a chance of a timed exclusive on a console.

[uchiha666]

wheres the DOOM 4 stuff?

[Tominater12]

Dead rising 2 will not be at e3 because of swine flu.

The undead link.

[Final2Legion]

Batman:Arkham Asylum

Diablo 3

Dragon Age:Origins

Modern Warfare 2

God of War 3

only games i care about

[ZJ]

Pikmin 3 or bust.

Scratch that. BioShock 2 dated Oct. 30 in Europe, Nov. 3 in North America. The no specified console thing still applies.

Europe getting a game before North America!?

How absurd!

Anyway, hopefully I'll build my gaming PC before it comes out.

These.

New PS3 bundle.

PS3 80 gig with 2 games for $399 (current price of the standard 80 gig without the games). The new sku goes on sale starting June 9th, the week following E3.

So unless they sell the regular 80 gig without the games bundled in for a cheaper price (which I don't see happening) I don't see a price cut for the PS3 at E3.

Is there any information about what two games come with the system? Hopefully they'll be games actually worth owning rather than games they're just trying to get rid of.
