Most Shameless E3 2009 Booth Babe Award Winner

Most Shameless E3 2009 Booth Babe Award Winner

In case you hadn’t heard, booth babes were back at E3 2009. The scantily clad ladies designed to lure unsuspecting nerds into booths were out in full force yet again this year, and in the name of journalistic integrity, we saw it fit to crown the most shameless display of skin.

Over the course of our scientific and completely unbiased consideration, we had to consider many factors, including the number of models, how ridiculous their costumes were, and how completely inadequate they were for covering them up. Many contenders were painstakingly considered, and while they all excelled at bringing the level of classiness at the show down a rung, one booth’s specimens especially stood out.

Despite Sony’s market position well behind Nintendo in both the home and portable console markets at the moment, the company had no problem drawing crowds at this year’s E3, where a full deck of high-profile titles made its booth one of the busiest at the show. We headed upstairs for a tour of the latest with developers on hand to explain.

An Inside Look at Halo: ODST

An Inside Look at Halo: ODST

For rabid fans of the well-known and universally respected Halo franchise, no more exciting news emerged from E3 than the announcement of Halo: ODST, an unusual new chapter in the series that will allow players to move on from Master Chief to play as a different type of soldier in the war against the Covenant. We packed into a tiny theater with Bungie developers and other journalists for an early peek at gameplay from the hotly anticipated title.

Despite the Ubisoft’s snooze-inducing press conference this year (James Cameron can talk), the company’s core titles actually managed to get our blood pumping as we made our way around its massive show space at E3. Let’s run over a few of our favorite titles.

Konami Flips off the Lights for new Silent Hill and Saw Game

Konami Flips off the Lights for new Silent Hill and Saw Game

It takes some imagination to use the Wii remote as a controller for a golf club, bat or tennis racket, but as a flashlight, which you’ll wield it as in Silent Hill Shattered Memories, you might just mistake it for the real thing. Moving a character around with a joystick and pointing at the screen with the Wii remote to cast light on your pitch-black surroundings feels as natural as doing it in real life. And just as creepy.

Warner Bros. Surprises with Scribblenauts, Awes with Arkham Asylum

Warner Bros. Surprises with Scribblenauts, Awes with Arkham Asylum

Thanks to a giant Warner Bros water tower and a genuine, on-site Batmobile, there was really no missing Warner Bros.’ movie-themed booth at this year’s E3. But we’ll call that fortunate, since WB had a fine (and expansive) set of wares for this year’s show that we’re glad we caught.

Halo: Reach Coming Fall 2010

Halo: Reach Coming Fall 2010

Halo is turning into a major franchise. With a new game out a few months ago, production is already underway on the next one, Halo: ODST, and the announcement of a follow-up to that, Halo: Reach, there’s plenty happening in Haloworld.

At E3, Bungie was offering a demo of Halo: ODST and answering some questions about Halo: Reach. Most specifically, a studio spokesman was asked about the game beta, to which Halo: ODST users will be invited.

Tecmo Shows Off Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma, Quantum, and Undead Knights

You can start reading Tecmo’s E3 brochure from either the dark cover or the light cover, depending on whether you’re looking for family games or mature titles. While we’re sure Family Football for Wii is a winner, we started on the black side, and did the same when it came time to check out booth demos. Bring on the blood.

Forza Motorsport 3 Adds Training Wheels

Forza Motorsport 3 Adds Training Wheels

Forza Motorsport 3 game director Dan Greenawalt makes no secret of the fact that it was Gran Turismo that turned him on not just to racing games, and even the broader world of motorsports in general. But according to him, his own team has dethroned the genre pioneers with Forza 3 – and at this point, he makes a convincing argument.

Everything about Forza 3, from the graphics to the car selection, track detail to physics engine, takes an impressive step forward. It boasts a selection of 400 cars, 100 tracks, fully functional cockpits (the gauges all work), and programming that accounts for everything from drag to tire flex – which you can even see in minute detail if you zoom in on a car paused in the middle of a turn.

Eidos Parachutes Gamers into Paradise in Just Cause 2

Eidos Parachutes Gamers into Paradise in Just Cause 2

Crysis may have come as close as we’ve seen to a gaming substitute for a tropical island vacation – an entire paradise for your exploration and demolition – but mark our words: Just Cause 2 will give it a run for its money. The hyperactive first-person shooter we just checked out behind the scenes at Eidos may compete for the prettiest and most beautiful environments we’ve ever seen developers groom for gamers.
