PS3 Screens For Killzone 2, More
GameCore is a weekly column by CBSNews.com's William Vitka and Chad Chamberlain that focuses on gamers and gaming.
Though our attempt to cover E3 completely did not work out as planned, and a few readers got angry with us for that somehow (there were only two of us, relent), we're filing through our wares to bring screenshots and more.
We'll keep updating as we get more things together.
PS3:
KillZone 2
Gorgeous. Battlefield chaos has never looked better, even if these are from rendered footage (Sony says it was in real time, but we're skeptical). Let's hope the gameplay is solid and those next-gen graphics are real.
Gundam
Based on the anime series, it looks like you'll be able to reign down fire and brimstone from the pilot seat of your ludicrously huge battle machine. Hopefully, Bandai will deliver.
The Darkness
Being somewhat familiar with the comic that led to this game, we're feeling a little geeky about this one. It's to be 1st and 3rd person, non-linear, and it comes from the same team that made the great The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
PS2:
Shadow Of The Colossus
If only Ray Harryhausen were at E3 to see this, he might enjoy it. An Action-Adventure game from the developers of ICO, Shadow has you hunting down Colossi in an attempt to defeat them and obtain the power needed to awaken a loved one. We really, really like this title. Think Clash Of The Titans minus Harry Hamlin. Look for it in September.
Evil Dead: Regeneration
We love Evil Dead and we love zombies, so we're hoping this installment in the gaming franchise isn't bogged down with terrible gameplay like the previous two. Ash again must face legions of Deadites, but this time he can dual-wield weapons and he's got a sidekick. We have no idea if that's a good thing.
Final Fantasy XII
Most gamers are well aware of the Final Fantasy series. Heck, most of us have played a handful of Square Enix's baby. Well, get ready for another one. We would complain about them, but they're just so pretty.
Jak X: Combat Racing
Simply put, we liked this game because it reminded us of days in the arcade. It's fast, bright and fun.
50 Cent: Bulletproof
This might be the most ridiculous thing we saw at E3. Watching geeks squirm around booth babes and paying $7.75 for "hamburgers" are right behind it.
Taxi Driver
Based on the Scorsese film, but lacking the vital DeNiro vocals (he will not be providing voicework for the game), we can't decide if we're excited for this title or saddened by it.
