One of the best first-person shooters I've played of recent is FEAR. I was so enamored with the bullet-time gunplay and supernatural horror story that I went out and bought the expansion pack set for the 360 as soon as it came out. So imagine my thrill when at this year's E3 I got to checkout Monolith's sequel – Project Origin. With more open environments and tons of gun fighting action, Project Origin is set to be the true sequel every FEAR fan has been waiting for all this time.

Were you a fan of the movie The Rocketeer growing up? If you haven't seen the film, shame on you. If you have seen the film, however, you'll feel right at home with the gameplay style of the upcoming game Dark Void. The Rocketeer never fought robots, scaled cliffs, or hijacked UFOs, but still the essence of the game feels very similar to the film. With a jetpac on your back and the skies your limit, Dark Void is shaping up to be quite the potential hit.

Before my chance to see Fallout 3 at this year's E3, I wouldn't have believed the concept of time travel was possible. Much to my surprise, however, Bethesda managed to create a time travel machine with their latest offering – Fallout 3. Fallout 3 not only transports fans back to the olden days of the franchise's heyday, but you'll also find yourself exploring the world, wanting to try one more thing out, and the next thing you know thirty minutes have gone by in what only seems like ten. I literally lost all sense of time when playing the game.

Before Left 4 Dead came along, I would've never thought it was possible to be in the same room with three other people and yet still feel so very alone and scared. Though there have been a number of horrifying FPS and survival horror games over the past years, Left 4 Dead is the first one to actually make me "feel" as if I was really transported into the game, living out the actions of my character. You can chalk part of that up to the atmosphere and immersion level, but part of it also comes from the frantic gunfights and team cooperation gameplay. Left 4 Dead – proof that running zombies are always more frightening.

Sonic has enjoyed a long and storied history throughout gaming, taking part in a number of different videogame genres. Sonic got his start on the Genesis with a platformer, but since then he's been involved with kart racers, sports games, and even pinball! The one genre Sonic has never tackled, however, is the role-playing game genre…until now. The game wasn't even on my interest radar up until now, but after getting some quality time with the game at E3, I'm already anticipating plunking down money for a pre-buy.

What’s black and white and red all over? I would’ve thought the answer was a “newspaper” before E3, but after seeing SEGA’s MADWORLD demoed I have a new definitive answer. MADWORLD is a crazy, sick game that has players taking on the role of Jack, a man who finds himself in a Running Man like game of death, where the only way to win is to literally kill off the competition. Stylish and violent, MADWORLD looks to show the world that the Nintendo Wii is far from being a kiddy system.

I rolled into Sega’s meeting room expecting to see nothing more than a new Sonic game. I had some time to kill before my next scheduled appointment, so when a nice woman asked if I’d like to sit-in on a demo of a game called Bayonetta, I went ahead and said sure. I wasn’t expecting much from the game, considering the fact I hadn’t heard of it before, but soon I found myself enamored with a remarkably stylish and action packed game. If you haven’t heard of the title either, read on and find out why you should remember this game’s name.
