During what I'm going to call Day 0 at E3, I watched Electronic Arts and Ubisoft preview a couple of dozen upcoming titles for the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. But the real buzz at the show was from Microsoft's morning press conference. A raging headache and only two hours' sleep on Sunday night kept me from Activision's bash at the Staples Center.
I recently got a chance to preview the PC build of 2K Games' "Mafia II." The game will sport some nifty new technology governing the behavior of clothing and destructible scenery, and be playable in 3D. Here are my impressions.
I left a preview of BioWare's "Kasumi's Stolen Memory" add-on for "Mass Effect 2" with one nagging question: What fool would send the galaxy's most famous human on an undercover mission?
After spending a half-hour or so playing one of Nintendo's most-hyped titles for 2010 at the Game Developers Conference, I came away feeling like I was "doing it wrong."

With robust character-, vehicle- and track-customization features, upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive "ModNation Racers" looks to one-up "Mario Kart Wii." I got a chance to play the game and talk to its creators at last week's Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
Based on a preview at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Wideload's upcoming, Disney-published mystery game is that rare four-player title that has this childless gamer hoping I'll be able to wrangle some families together and play it the way it was meant to be played.
