The bare-breasted harpy leaves the underground, and on the surface, a giant god--perhaps Hephaestus, god of the hearth--is ripping apart a temple with his massive hands.- Posted 1:01 PST

Last but not least, its God of War III, and the Sony Santa Monica studios crew takes the stage to show how Kratos is coming along.- Posted 12:58 PST
Sports World Rally Championship and NASCAR races--the level of detail is staggering.- Posted 12:58 PST
It's the touching story of a boy and his... thing.- Posted 12:57 PST
The camera zooms into show insane levels of detail.- Posted 12:57 PST
Nearly photo-realistic graphics show jets soaring over a racetrack.- Posted 12:57 PST
And now a trailer for Gran Turismo 5.- Posted 12:57 PST
No date is given for The Last Guardian.- Posted 12:56 PST
We then see him sleeping in the feathers of the creature, safe.- Posted 12:56 PST
Alone, the boy is menaced by some soldiers in armor--he runs away.- Posted 12:56 PST
Sony also showed off Team Ico's next project, The Last Guardian.- Posted 12:56 PST
They then fly off through a valley, and wade through a river, the boy riding the beast.- Posted 12:55 PST

A young boy--but older than the original--runs out towards a cliff, nearly falls off it, but is saved by a giant griffon-like creature with an oddly puppy-like face.- Posted 12:52 PST
It's a more polished version of the trailer that leaked several weeks ago, with a feather falling down a stone well.- Posted 12:51 PST
Trailer rolls for The Last Guardian.- Posted 12:51 PST

The track is immediately playable as well--think DIY Mario Kart.- Posted 12:50 PST
Actually, they do, as a herd of sheep is dropped on one side of the road, with half the animals in the road.- Posted 12:49 PST
Like Little Big Planet, Mod Nation Racers lets users create courses as well as customize drivers.- Posted 12:48 PST
They then line the sides of the track with buildings. Not sure if there's a tool to plop pedestrians into the road, Death Race 2000-style.- Posted 12:48 PST
They then tweak the surfaces, spraying sections of the racetrack with a dirt-road finish.- Posted 12:48 PST
That creates a basic track, which the demoers quickly customize with mountains, forests, and river hazards.- Posted 12:47 PST
Using a tiny bulldozer as a cursor, the demoer creates a track in seconds, using driving controls to lay a pay and using side buttons to raise and lower elevation.- Posted 12:45 PST

Now for some very Mario Kart-like gameplay, with racers using weapons to knock out competitors.- Posted 12:44 PST
Large selection of pre-made cars, which are all totally customizable and sharable. Tracks are also customizable.- Posted 12:44 PST

Shifting to a third-person view, he controls a virtual warrior battering a punching-bag like skeleton who sways with the blows.- Posted 12:37 PST
One controller's light turns purple as he uses it to direct an RTS battle. He then clicks on a tank for a first-person turret view.- Posted 12:37 PST
And of course, a gun.- Posted 12:36 PST
He then does some graffiti with a virtual spray can. The angle effects the paint, and the pressure on the controller's trigger regulates its flow.- Posted 12:36 PST
Here's the controller representing a sword...- Posted 12:35 PST
The controllers are so accurate, the demoer can actually write his name on a virtual pad.- Posted 12:35 PST

Here's the controller in unembellished form.- Posted 12:33 PST
A brief first-person view shows the demoer shooting up a virtual living room, and then wielding an energy whip.- Posted 12:33 PST
In a short demo, they show a Tennis game. The demoer swings the racket in real time, tracking its motions perfectly. The tennis racket turns into a crossing guard's sign, a sword, a flail with spike ball, then a fan.- Posted 12:32 PST
He says that changing the color would let players cast spells in an RPG.- Posted 12:31 PST
Good luck making it out, but that's a prototype PS3 controller he's holding.- Posted 12:31 PST
Marx holds aloft a prototype of the device, the final design of which will be different. It's the device from the patent filed last year, a controller with a glowing globe at the end. The PlayStation Eye can track the controller, and even can sense the light's color.- Posted 12:29 PST
Dr. Richard Marx, creator of the EyeToy, takes the stage to show off new motion controller. It's been in the works for several years.- Posted 12:29 PST

Lots of CG cutscene exposition talks about a gathering evil, followed by some scenes of combat.- Posted 12:23 PST
A fleet of aircraft fly over a coastline, then the game's heroes fight a blue tentacled demon.- Posted 12:23 PST
The other-worldly assassination conversations will return for Assassin's Creed 2.- Posted 12:22 PST
Now it's Final Fantasy XIII time, with another trailer.- Posted 12:22 PST

He kills his target, but then faces a whole army of guards.- Posted 12:20 PST

Apparently, Ezio is friends with Leonardo Da Vinci, who will craft inventions, like a small glider.- Posted 12:18 PST
Ezio climbs up a tower with fireworks in the background, throwing the guard off.- Posted 12:17 PST
In a live demo, Ezio sits on a bench. When a man approaches him, he casually stabs him under the rib cage and props his body on the bench.- Posted 12:16 PST
