Welcome to Day 2 of our coverage of everybody else's coverage of E3. Starting off, we've got a trailer for the hotly anticipated Super Mario Galaxy:
If you're in the mood for something a little more... intimate... Check out this developer talking us through a particularBEE neat level:
Hit the jump for the new Simpsons game, some Halo 3 action, a Wii trivia game called Smarty Pants, a new LittleBigPlanet video, a cheesy but thrilling Rock Band performance of Bowie's "Suffragette City", and more Metroid Prime 3.
Here's the Simpsons game:
It sure looks good, but I have to wonder: why are most Simpsons games about fighting? There's rarely any fights on the show, so it seems incongruous that that would be the go-to genre for Simpsons video game developers. Why not an adventure game that has you actually progressing through a hilarious Simpsons story, or a Bully-style sandbox game where you run around Springfield pranking people and carrying out specific missions for people? That being said, this game sho is pretty. Also keep an eye out for Matt Groening himself as the end boss, as reported by Eurogamer.
Here's Halo 3 in action:
Pretty.
And now Smarty Pants:
It's hard to tell if this will be fun or not. The only thing I do know is those chaps playing are grating. I like something as simple as the hand-raising motion to "get called on." I hope the emphasis is on trivia and not those little epileptic minigames they do a couple times.
If yesterday left you wanting more, here is the full LittleBigPlanet trailer:
From start to finish, some good (if silly) players running through a Rock Band song:
Yesterday's trailer was a little dry, but it's fun to watch this game developer walk us through a Metroid Prime 3 level:
This is the first time I noticed how good the game looks. It sure moves well, and has a lot of nice art direction touches.
