Fatal Inertia is the dynamic opening salvo from Koei's brand new Canada studio. With a distinctly Western flair, this game represents the first step into an all-new genre for Koei. Fatal Inertia presents the stunning contrast of vibrant, futuristic vehicles battling and racing in a variety of beautiful, natural environments. There are a wide range of physics-based weapons, and you'll discover new ways to use them every time you play.

Genre: Action
Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Epic Games
Release Date: TBA

After our single-player demo with CliffyB, it's time to go hands-on with Gears of War. Deep behind closed doors at Microsoft's E3 booth, we walked into a large room that had two groups of eight Xbox 360s decked out with the limited-edition GoW faceplate and networked together for some four-on-four team-based deathmatch action. We first got an overview of the game controls and some basic tactics from the Epic Games team, and then we were off on our own for some intense multiplayer action.

PS2 Preview - 'Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure'

by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Pre - E3 2005

Genre: Action
Publisher: Atari
Developer: The Collective
Release Date: September 2005

Atari's been hiding Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure for a while. I mean that literally; to hear word one about the game at last year's E3, you had to navigate through their weird art-deco buffet lounge to an exterior balcony in the Staples Center. There, you'd find Getting Up inside a locked room, which only opened at irregular intervals. For all we knew coming out of E3, Getting Up was a fishing sim.

A year later, they aren't being quite as secretive. Getting Up, the brainchild of

Fuller Auto

If you're a fan of the first Full Auto, the Xbox 360 combat racer that arrived earlier this year to mixed, but positive-leaning reviews, you have reason to look forward to this fall – if you're also saving up for a PlayStation 3. The sequel, Full Auto 2: Battlelines, as of the last day of E3 2006, is set to be a PS3 exclusive. After some developer face-time and about 15 minutes of hands-on multiplayer combat at E3, I can say that Battlelines will

'Chibi-Robot' (NGC) - Screens

The Sanderson family just got the ultimate in high-tech, house-helper technology: Chibi-Robo. In this inventive, story-driven game, players guide a miniature robot as he completes chores and clashes with enemies in his epic quest to become the highest-ranked Chibi-Robo out there.

Normally running on battery power, Chibi-Robo needs to plug into power outlets with his built-in cord when he runs low
