E3 preview: Dead Island hands-on
"Dead Island's" 5-minute E3 demo doesn't live up to its initial, emotionally engaging trailer, but its visceral combat and battles with flesh-eating zombies in the harsh tropical sun show plenty of promise.

At E3, Riot Games, maker of the immensely popular, free-to-play arena battle game "League of Legends," showed off three upcoming champions and a new spectator mode. If you're a fan and curious about how the spectator mode will look when it releases later this year, you can actually see it in action a bit today in a live stream of "LoL's" Season One championship in Sweden. It gets started at 3 p.m. PDT.
Here's a quick look at a pair of upcoming downloadable games from UTV Ignition: "Magical Drop V" and "Mercury Hg."
My last day at E3 included meetings with Warner Bros., D3 Publisher, Namco Bandai, Sony, THQ, Square Enix and 2K Marin.
Some quick thoughts on Nintendo's press conference, Atlus' erotic adventure/puzzle game "Catherine," Ubisoft's "Rayman Origins" and four big titles from EA.
Slow down everybody. “Call of Duty Elite” is not a sign of the apocalypse. If it’s done right, Activision's new social networking service will combine the vapid addictiveness of social networking sites with the smack-talking fun of online first-person shooters.
"The Darkness" wasn't a megahit when it came out in the summer of 2007 but won a cult audience with its dark, mature story line. The comic-based series is getting a revival this fall, with an overhauled control scheme and a new studio responsible for development.
Sometime after the PlayStation Network comes back up, we'll get a chance to try out Lexis Numerique's upcoming survival horror game "Amy," about a woman who has to stay near a little girl or take drugs to avoid turning into a zombie.
