Today was an exhausting but a  enjoyable day.  I guess you can say I finally popped my E3 cherry.  Even though there are so many things to play and see I think these next 2 days are going to be fantastic.  This will be first of few posts in which I just briefly explain what I saw at E3 on that particular day, also with Pictures :).  I will be taking more pictures tomorrow and hopefully they will turn out better then some in this batch. Pictures are at the bottom of this post.

For even more pictures check out some of my E3 buddy’s shots here.

Day 1 was nothing special.  I did manage to get some hands on with a couple of games but today was the scope out day.  Checking out the floor, see whats playable and then figuring out a plan of action for day 2.

Bayonetta: I got some hands on with Bayoneta and man this game is HOT (pun was intended).  The game feels very similar to Devil May Cry but much prettier.  Action is there, extremely fun to pull off some sick combos.  Don’t know whether game is supposed to revolutionize the action genre because it feels very similar to Devil May Cry. But hey, its just a demo, maybe there is something I don’t know.

Gears of War 2 Dark Corners: I didn’t have a chance to play it, but the nice dude over at Epic gave us quick demo of the content.  Dark Corner is a single player chapter that takes place after the death of Maria and gives you the option to play an unreleased level that introduces some stealth mechanics.  Looked interesting but its basically same gears of war but just a new story mission.

Left 4 Dead 2: This is the announcement that kind of rattled me.  I mean why so early when the last one was just last year. Anyways I played it and it its the same but with new setting, characters, enemies, and weapons. Including melee weapons.  The build we played was very early so I expect some polish maybe be required.

Batman Arkham Asylum: Finally a version of the game which is not the stupid challenge one that we have in the store.  In fact this was the one strait of the single player.  Pretty cool in how it uses the stealth mechanics and the way you pick off enemies a la Riddick (which I enjoyed).

Dirt 2: I loved the first dirt. The sequel looks like more of the same with some fine tuning to the handling, and some stunning visuals.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves: I already scored a beta invite by purchasing Infamous so there was no need for me to jump onto the multiplayer, which they had on the floor.  I was interested in the co-up, which looks like the portion of the multiplayer that I will enjoy.  This is one of those game which I think doesn’t need multiplayer but I am glad that its there.  The co-up was extremely fun, however still not liking the amount of damage these dudes can take. Not to mention a retard of co-up player we had who didn’t know how to play. So he was a liability but It was fun. And another thing just check out this single player footage.  I’ll stop talking now.

PSP Go: I had very little time to fiddle with the new PSP and from the looks of it I like it.  The only complaint is the tiny ass dpad.  Looks kind of awkward but I need more hands on with it. Preview

Anyways that pretty much most of what I saw but expect more stuff tomorrow.  And here are day 1 pictures:
