E3: Day 2 (Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, BioShock Infinite)
Big titles like "BioShock Infinite," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" were the highlights of my second full day on the show floor at E3.
E3: Quick hits on Day 1
Some quick thoughts on Nintendo's press conference, Atlus' erotic adventure/puzzle game "Catherine," Ubisoft's "Rayman Origins" and four big titles from EA.
E3: Thoughts on Day 0
On Monday, Sony named and priced its new handheld gaming device, and publishers showed off about a bazillion games. And E3 hasn't even started yet.
Preview: Call of Duty goes Facebook
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.
What to play this weekend (May 27-30)

What to play this weekend (May 21-23)
The big release this week is "L.A. Noire," but if you're playing on PC, you can't overlook "The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings."
Preview: The Darkness II
"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.
What to play this weekend (May 13-15)
The PlayStation Network came up Saturday evening/early Sunday, depending on where you live. So have at it! If you're not catching up with old favorites, here's what else is looking good for this weekend.
Preview: Downloadable ‘Amy’ aims to scare
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.
Review: Divisive Brink worth a look
Depending on your gaming likes and dislikes, Splash Damage's teamwork-oriented first-person shooter "Brink" is either a breath of fresh air or a complicated, frustrating, glitchy mess. That's because it's both of those things. I fall into the "love it" camp but can't begrudge the haters.
