E3 2010
As expected, Los Angeles is one crazy and buzzing place today. Microsoft’s strange and possibly surreal Natal event goes down tonight, and Hideo Kojima was on the town signing autographs earlier today – hard to believe the Convention Center doesn’t officially open the showroom doors until Tuesday.

Our own Aileen Viray was just down that way, and being much smarter than me brought a camera along with her – allowing for the revelation that a giant poster of Kevin Butler will be looking down and swinging a Move controller over everyone this year.

Catch a quick glimpse after the break.

Hard Corps: Uprising
After watching some rough footage for Konami and Arc System Works’ Hard Corps: Uprising, I don’t know if every Contra fan is going to readily get on board – if you’ve met any you know they always bring high expectations and a well warranted hesitation to new entries in the franchise.

Even with the poor quality of the video, the game looks to offer plenty of what I’m after however – speed, gorgeous backgrounds, and character designs and animations that pop with a pulse. Show me some bosses this week and I’m ready to enlist for this anime nostalgia trip.

You can catch footage of a single and co-op run after the break. Let me know if you agree, or if you think I need to take my meds before the show starts.

Our Pre-E3 2010 Sugar List

E3 2010 Sugar List
As agents of Team Sugar disperse throughout Los Angeles, it seems appropriate to put together a list of what’s topping our radar before the mad rush begins.

We’ve weaved together a list of studios that seem poised to steal most of our attention – as well as some others that we’re cautiously optimistic about – and present it for your reading pleasure while standing ready to be proven completely wrong by the time this yearly dance plays out. More Perfect Dark or Rez 2 or something from Grasshopper or Level-5 could turn us around pretty quick, just saying.

Catch our favorite contenders after the break – and be sure to let us know your own early picks for E3 2010.

Whether you’re a fan from Lost Planet: Extreme Condition or a new player drawn in by videos of clashing mechs and monsters, response to Lost Planet 2 probably has left you hesitant to render any sort of purchasing decision. I am here to offer you some relief: I can tell you that the calculation can be refined to one variable. That is, precisely how much suffering are you prepared to endure for tremendous action?

Must Love Videogames

Must Love Videogames
You can catch Gametrailers’ montage footage for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World just about anywhere on the Net today – including Gametrailers of all places, how crazy is that?

On the eve of spending time with dozens of titles looking to seduce gamers with new standards of hyper-reality, here comes a release that doesn’t simply feed on my childhood, but rather a videogame that seems to enjoy being a videogame – pixel impossibilities that pop with sparks of life more earnest and bright than anything taxing the processing power of modern consoles.

If that sounds like a bunch of bullshit, well, wanting hands on games we don’t yet have makes gamers say crazy things – if you don’t believe me just check out Tiny Cartridge’s Eric Caoili finally reaching the breaking point over Game Center CX 2.

What is Malicious?

Malicious
A fair enough question to ask, but all we know so far is that it’s a downloadable PS3 title from Alvion. A Japanese teaser site offers some screenshots, which you can catch after the break.

This news is joined by today’s other Japanese teaser site, from Sony, which the finest minds the Net has to offer wager is another installment of Patapon.

I’m gonna suggest that all this teasing is what’s most malicious at the moment.
