The LGC is going on right now and we're getting some cool stuff shown

Trailers:
Heavy Rain looks sick (PS3)
Mirror's Edge looks awesome (PS3, 360, PC)
LocoRoco 2 looks adorable (PSP)

News:
160GB PS3 with Uncharted hitting in November for $500 (jesus that's a good deal)
PS3 controller keypad announced and it looks uncomfortable to use
Another new PSP model after one year. Glad I didn't pick up the 2000 model
Singstar: Disney announced for PAL only because Sony is dicks
GTA IV 360 DLC hitting in the Fall
Space Invaders are terrorists

That's it so far for day one, I think. I can't wait for Mirror's Edge and Heavy Rain. They both look so cool

    Heavy Rain is fucking stunning but is it basically gonna be an interactive animated movie?

    It looks really good, I hope it's a bit more interactive than that

    But it's pretty enough that I wouldn't mind too much if it wasn't

    Oh, I forgot about Microsoft releasing a 360 controller with a D-Pad that doesn't suck, but only in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, and only for a limited time

    What the fuck, MS?

    The extra bit of the Dawn of War trailer was nice. I think Blizzard announced they would debut the opening cinematic to WotLK.
    They always have spectacular intros so I'm looking forward to that.
    Warhmammer online looks pretty cool. Also I totally thought Heavy Rain was an interactive movie.

    They're coming out with a way for you to rip PS2 Singstar games to the PS3 to use with the PS3 Singstar (I think), so that might be a workaround

    I like the style in the new Prince of Persia, but I think I liked the old style on the games more.

    Plus they could've gotten voice actors that didn't sound completely American

    You would think that after spending so much time and effort into the visual style...they would make sure their voice actors don't ruin the atmosphere.
    Apparently not.

    You mean like that one actor that's from a persian dynasty and who looks like the prince and knows how to sword fight?

    He's a good looking motherfucker too.

    He's not just trained in swordfighting, but apparently HORSEBACK swordfighting as well.

    The RE5 trailer is resplendent and I can foresee my future nightmares. As for PoP ... I will admit I am still attached to the old Prince. I came to love the characters, the atmosphere and setting. They are certainly taking it into a different direction and I can't help but get a little nostalgic; but I am fully confident in them. I am particularly impressed in the cohesion between the two characters (she can actually hold her own platforming wise - yes) and the new skillset the prince has in his arsenal looks like a lot of fun to play.

    You know what'd be cool for Heavy Rain? If the button commands were hidden in the scenery, so you have to play "Where's Waldo?" in between dodging blows.

    Mirror's Edge reminds me a lot of Half-Life 2.

    I like the new PoP art style, but all that magical jumping about makes it seem less real and too floaty

    The combat looked interesting and felt a bit weightier, but they didn't show enough of it to really get a feel for it, he seemed to block the whole time and then the girl killed the thing in one hit.

    Mirrors Edge looks awesome, even if it's completely linear I am going to enjoy the hell out of that game
