Day 2 of E3 did not disappoint with two massive conferences from Nintendo and Sony; bringing with them a ton of announcements and reveals. All that is noteworthy and awesome (to me) has been summarized in a few quick bullet points below:

• Goldeneye 007 RETURNS!! Wii exclusive. Cube hands unite! The joy of shooting guys in the top of their dome with a PP7, while they’re on the crapper, from a vent you can never return to - is back and is better than ever!
• The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - 1:1 Sword motion control!
• New Kid Icarus game launches with new Nintendo 3DS (now with more D’s)
• Killzone 3 + Mortal Kombat + many more = 3D on PS3 (3D FATALITIES!)
• The answer to any problem = @TheKevinButler (proof)
• Portal 2? on PS3! WITH STEAMWORKS?!
• Playstation Move dated, priced, and looks awesome for would-be Sorcerers.
• New Twisted Metal on PS3. Adds aerial combat. Use environment. Looks fun.
• PSN+ Premium service gives you access to early betas and full game demos.

E3 Day 1 is coming to a close, and rather than ranting on about all the awesome stuff announced that you’ve probably already heard about, I’m going to summarize all that I think was awesome and all that you should be in the know about in one concise bullet pointed list:

• New Xbox 360. Built in wifi. 250 GB. WHISPER QUIET!

• Medal of Honor - BETA JUNE 21st <- beta details
• Bad Company 2 does Vietnam expansion.
• Black Ops is still coming out November 9th
• Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit by Criterion Games (BURNOUT: Paradise DEVS!)
• Metal Gear: Rising lets you cut shit up in fantastically awesome ways.
• Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. That is all.
• Halo: Reach (Rouge Squadron-esque space battles!1!!)
