Xbox/PC Preview - 'Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005
Genre : Survival Horror
Publisher: Bethesda
Developer: Headfirst
Release Date: Q3 2005
I’ve been following this game for quite a while now. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is a strange thing; it’s a first-person shooter set in a universe where shooting things does not traditionally accomplish a great deal.
Dark Corners of the Earth is based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, one of the most influential writers in the horror genre, and yet somehow one of the most obscure. Lovecraft’s stories deal with what’s since been labeled the Cthulhu Mythos. He wrote about men who were
'SnoCross 2' (PS2/Xbox) - Screens
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - E3 2005 May 19th
Punch the throttle and hang on as you blast some insane terrain and push your sled to the limit on serious whoop sections and awesome hills. SnoCross 2 includes over 30 expansive tracks, fully customizable characters, and an amazing trick system that lets you perform jaw-dropping signature moves. Follow the action with first- and third-person adjustable race cam, and between races customize your gear with unlockable sponsor equipment. Design your own courses and share them with friends, and challenge up to 3 other sledheads online.

PS2/Xbox/PC Preview - 'Hitman: Blood Money'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005
Genre: Stealth/Action
Publisher: Eidos Interactive
Developer: Io Interactive
Release Date: Fall 2005
Eidos' showroom at E3 was small, quiet, and altogether more intimate than many of the experiences we had on the show floor. But this also meant it was absolutely packed with fans and journalists who were dying to get a closer look at the Eidos lineup. We did good to squeeze in a close look at Hitman: Blood Money, with the developers on hand to answer a lot of questions.

'Stargate SG-1: The Alliance' (PS2/Xbox/PC) - 3 New Screens

The game uses a heavily modified and graphically enhanced Unreal 2.5 engine, and fans of the series will immediately recognize certain areas from the TV show.
All of the classic multiplayer modes like Death Match, Capture the Flag, and team variations will be integrated, but there will also be more innovative modes which make use of the unique Stargate setting. The SG1 team is at the heart of Stargate SG1: the Alliance, so co-op is naturally one of the most exciting options available for the game.

Stargate SG-1: The Alliance - E3 2005 Trailer (15mb)
Stargate SG-1: The Alliance will be an action-based game playable in the first- or third- person perspective. Depending on the mission, there will be other tasks that have elements of team tactics, puzzle-solving and stealth. First and foremost, you will never walk alone – your team will be there to look after you, but you will also have to look after them, so it differs from most "straight" shooters.

PS2/Xbox Preview - 'Destroy All Humans!'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005
Publisher: THQ
Developer: Pandemic Studios
Release Date: June 17, 2005
Destroy All Humans! is a game that lets you kill people with psychokinetically thrown chickens.
In a perfect world, that would be all you need to hear. I wouldn't have to mention the ability to hypnotize cows into dancing the Funky Chicken, the weird retro-'50s ambiance that makes posters for "The Friendly Atom: It's Working for YOU!" seem a natural fit to the world, the ability to cloak yourself as public officials and make speeches decrying communism, denying alien invasion and blaming mutant radioactive zombie cows for the
NGC/PS2/Xbox/PC Preview - 'Ultimate Spider-Man'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005
Genre: 3D Action/Adventure
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Treyarch
Release Date: TBA
Ultimate Spider-Man, at its core, is a re-telling of the classic Spider-Man story with a slightly younger cast and a contemporary spin.
You all know the gist of it by now: a nerdy kid gets bitten by a radioactive spider, gets super powers, and uses both them and his mind to solve crimes while at the same time possessing the ability to upstage just about everyone on Def Comedy Jam without even trying. The Ultimate line of comic books puts the Spidey stories in the here and now, with today’s
PS2/Xbox/PC Preview - 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005
Genre: Action
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks

Release Date: Q3 2006
In case you missed the memo the first time around, here’s another copy of it:
Pirates Are Cool.
Heck, just go ask Guilty Gear X’s Johnny, or the entire cast of Skies of Arcadia. Pirates are always fun to play as in video games. There’s just something about being able to break all the rules, play dirty, and fight as underhanded as one possibly can whenever one feels like it that translates wonderfully to the genre.
Few pirates are better at all of this than one Jack Sparrow, and he’s going to
