The Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, will be starting Monday, July 14. E3 is among the largest of video game expos that happen here in the United States and is traditionally the launch pad for new game titles to be revealed and other exciting announcements.

Usually all the big boys come to play at E3 including Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony, along with countless software developers and publishers.

This year, Gametrailers.com has teamed up with E3 to bring tons of the information from the show floor via video to consumers not invited to the show. Sadly, since E3 2006, the show has slimmed down considerably to better serve the gaming media.

Things I’m looking forward to hearing about this year are:

• Little Big Planet (PS3)
• Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)
• Gears of War 2 (XBox 360)
• New Wario Game (Wii)
• Secret Nintendo game (Wii)
• Anything new on the MMO front especially WarHammer Online
• Decisions from Microsoft about a Blu-ray addon to the 360

Of course, anything exciting I just can’t hold back, I’ll try to post here. With the PS3 maturing and the 360 already in it’s prime, this looks like it might be a very good year for gamers.

I have to get this off my chest. There’s this game scheduled for a Fall 2008 release that has me vexed by some sort of spell.

LittleBigPlanet for the PlayStation 3 is an incredibly unique game promising some amazing gameplay and experiences.

Think Super Mario Bros. having a freak genetic accident with MySpace, creating a social network specifically for gamers, in which everyone is a sock-puppet jumping, running and creating custom content in a photo-realistic, building block world.

That’s just all kinds of cool.

In single-player mode, the object of the game is to collect, collect, collect! Any piece of material, object or even music found in the game’s default levels are automatically added to your inventory in custom edit mode. Players can then join the game’s online features and share custom levels and objects via a world-wide social network.

For some reason, this game just makes sense. It’s just supposed to be. LittleBigPlanet releases fall this year.
