Those mutants from Rage will try anything to get into E3.
Maybe they'd have an easier time getting in if they wore normal attire instead of actual tires around their necks.
When a Hummer just doesn't help you overcompensate enough, you can always try a tank.
Everybody dance!
Strike a pose. Vogue.
An army of one fun.
A new addition to E3 this year was the Video Game History Museum section. Holy crap, was I ever in heaven here.
I hope you like retro gaming stuff, because you're about to see a truckload of it.
It looks like a Neo Geo AES console, but it's actually a consolized MVS system so you can play the
arcade cartridges (which are far cheaper than the AES ones) at home. Anybody for a game of Metal Slug?
Super Mario Bros. 3 hooked up to the Nintendo Entertainment System.
(I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I still say Super Mario Bros. 2 was the best game in the series.)
Donkey Kong on the ColecoVision! Easily the best version of the game for home consoles back in the day.
Discs of Tron on the Intellivision. I played Astrosmash shortly after this and now I want to hook it up again.
Such a great console.
In addition to all the classic gaming goodness, 8-bit Weapon was set to perform live chiptune sets throughout the day!
I absolutely love that the only game they had hooked up on this Atari 2600 console was E.T.
I watched this guy try to get out of one of those infamous pits for three minutes straight.
And what happened as soon as he finally escaped that pit? He fell into another one.
UFO on the Magnavox Odyssey².
Playing Outrun on the Sega Master System.
Although it was completely overshadowed by the NES, there really are some great games on this console.
And let's be honest, everybody looked like a badass when they worse those old 3D glasses for it.
The Vectrex system. I've raved about this console many times before. It's the only true vector graphics home
console ever produced.
Totally unique and absolutely worth owning if you can get your hands on one.
The Bally Astrocade system from 1978.
The Emerson Arcadia 2001 system from 1981 alongside the Atari 5200.
The Atari 2600 wished E.T. had phoned home a bit sooner instead of being released.
The Magnavox Odyssey² system once again.
The original Odyssey system alongside the RCA Studio II system.
An Atari Video Music system from 1976 next to a Telegames Personal Arcade system.
The Coleco Telstar Arcade (1977) may be the most awesome looking video game system ever made.
On a related note: I believe all consoles should have wood paneling.
Even the cartridges were triangular!
A case chock full o' prototype games.
Notice the old Atari company employee badges in the bottom corner of the case.
The Microvision was the first cartridge-based handheld console. Keen!
A collection of Microvision cartridges.
The ColecoVision system along with the Expansion Module 1 which allowed people to play Atari 2600 games on it.
The ColecoVision Roller Controller and the ColecoVision Super Action Controllers.
The Aquarius Computer & Game System alongside the Intellvoice. Snafu, Nightstalker... such awesome games.
There's still much more to see from

You know, Rog, at least there's a new Shinobi coming out, who cares what system it's on? I would murder someone for the chance to play a new Strider game on anything, let alone the DS.
Want to add a few things though, if its ok?
Your not really saying it is at all but its worth noting that Operation Raccoon City isn't a sequel to Resident Evil, its more of a alternate reality Left 4 Dead-ish (like you mentioned) side thing. And the only reason I'm saying its alternate reality is because of the prospect of doing certain things that will make other things in the RE Universe never happen (But I won't spoil the event for anyone who may not know). The real RE4-ish, horror, experience is going to come from the 3DS RE title Revelations, which is looking like its going to be sort of going back to the series darker roots.
As for Silent Hill, theres a lot riding on this game resonating with fans. Konami knows people didn't groove on Homecoming and really seem to want to change that. So thats probably the reason why the game was shown in such a shoddy alpha state as it was, companies usually tend to do something like this when they have to prove something and want to show it. Whether or not they polish all that out, or even make a truly likable game out of what they have, is something we really don't know till its closer to release.
I don't believe Capcom's ever had anything to do with Dead Island and I can't find anything off hand that says they ever did. That said, Square-Enix will be publishing this one for Deep Silver.
Given all the stupid crap the Hulk's been (or put himself) through in recent years I'm not surprised he didn't look so cheery.
Duke Nukem Forever came out today in the US (and last Friday elsewhere), so that's probably why it had such a huge line at last weeks show. People were chewing a the bit to play it.
Overall though I was really unimpressed with E3 all together this year. There were some small things here and there that I'm looking forward to but if the show never existed I'd be just as interested if I read them on some website somewhere.
they didn't happen to have an arcadia/starpath supercharger, did they?
That Famicom Box is really great. And I'm ridiculously excited about the new Twisted Metal.
I just can't help but wonder what Rei thinks of Rog flirting with all those booth babes.
Also, those were some phenomenal pictures. Especially the old gaming stuff.
