1UP's Post E3 Special Show

(I couldn't find their podcast or videocast on their site... once I find it I'll post it... -Auri)

Seven days, about ten hours of sleep, many dinners at Denny's, and one destroyed van door later the 1UP Show is back from the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo and we got lots to talk about--so let's cut the crap and get right to it:

Everyone is buzzing about the new Lost Planet demo on Xbox Live--it was the second most-downloaded item this week, just behind the mighty Halo 3 trailer; Ryan and Demian discuss why. And while we're talkin' 360, Mass Effect's behind-closed-doors showing almost won it 1UP's Game of the Show award -- we say what only the lucky few got to see.

Speaking of the lucky few, Mark and Bryan managed to avoid the crazy lines to play through the entire demo of Metroid Prime: Corruption on the Wii and left with some early opinions about what worked and what didn't. And let's not forget Nintendo's "other" system -- the DS had a fantastic show, epitomized by Shane and Jeremy's chat about Yoshi's Island 2 and the new Castlevania adventure, Portrait of Ruin. Even Boktai's spiritual successor Lunar Knights is looking good.

Finally, we finish up with two overlooked gems you probably never heard of: Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the PSP, including an interview with up-and-coming game creator Hideo Kojima. Take it from us, this guy is going places!
