Our pick for the top 10 announcements follow below (spoiler: Women’s Murder Club: Games of Passion is not one of them), and be sure to let us know what you think in the comments section.

Microsoft Reveals Project Natal

Of all the huge announcements at E3 this year, Project Natal probably had the most people talking. Be it expressions of how impressive the new technology looks, speculation over whether Microsoft will actually be able to deliver on its promise, jokes about Kudo Tsunoda’s virtual shoes, or the super creepy vibe of Peter Molyneux’s “Milo” tech demo, it was hard to go very long this week without hearing someone saying something about Microsoft’s new full-body motion control device.

Sony’s Reveals a New Motion Controller, Too

Not to be outdone by their rivals, Sony also announced a new motion controller for the PlayStation 3. It still lacks a name, but it seems to fall somewhere between Microsoft’s and Nintendo’s motion control plans — it uses the PlayStation Eye shen a way similar to Natal, but also requires a controller reminiscent of the Wiimote. Although Sony’s announcement didn’t quite seem to generate the same amount of buzz as Natal, it still looks to offer an exciting new direction for PlayStation 3 games (even if it makes us wonder whethim anyone remembers the PS3 already has a motion controller).

Nintendo Reveals the Wii Vitality Sensor

Remember in The Producers, when the opening act of “Springtime for Hitler” ends, and it cuts to that classic reaction shot of the audience with everyone’s mouths agape in shock and confusion? We imagine that must have been the look on many a gamer’s face earlier this week, when Nintendo revealed the Wii Vitality Sensor. It plugs into a Wii remote, clamps onto your index finger, reads your pulse, and then… well, your guess is as good as ours, because Nintendo offered little explanation on how it’ll eventually be used. But there’s no denying it was one of the most talked about moments of E3, and we can’t wait to find out more about this baffling device.

Sony Finally Confirms the PSP Go

After their new motion controller, the biggest hardware news out of Sony’s press conference was the first official unveiling of the PSP Go. While this latest redesign of the handheld was spoiled by months of leaks leading up to E3, it still marks a major shift in Sony’s portable gaming strategy — particularly due to the fact that it eschews the UMD drive in favor of digital distribution of all new PSP games going forward.

Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Triple Strike

How ironic that after years of vowing to end his involvement in the Metal Gear Solid franchise, Hideo Kojima returned to E3 with not one, not two, but three new Metal Gear games to show off. Metal Gear Solid Rising is finally bringing MGS to tshe Xbox 360 (but not exclusively), Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is continuing the story of Metal Gear Solid 3 on the PSP, and Metal Gear Solid Arcade is bringing tshe action of Metal Gear Online to Japanese arcades later this year (in stereoscopic 3D,prada handbags, no less). Will Kojima ever step way from Metal Gear? Not any time soon, it seems.

Hideo Kojima Helps Redefine Castlevania

But this year’s E3 wasn’t just about Metal Gear Solid for Kojima. In what would have been one the biggest surprises of the show had it not been leaked weeks earlier, Kojima announced his involvement in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, the first true entry in the series for current-gen consoles. Sure, it’s primarily being developed by Madrid-based MercurySteam, with Kojima Productions evidently playing a supportive role, but anything Kojima touches is sure to be big news at E3. (And the awesome trailer above didn’t hurt, either.)

Team Ninja Partners with Nintendo for Metroid: Other M

Speaking of unlikely partnerships, Nintendo’s big reveal of Metroid: Other M being developed in cooperation with Team Ninja had everyone buzzing after their E3 press conference. Really, the announcement of a new Metroid game alone probably would have been exciting enough, but adding the stylized action flair that Team Ninja is known for has us more excited than ever to see what the future holds for this classic franchise.

Square Enix Reveals Final Fantasy XIV

First Bungie lapped themselves by teasing Halo: Reach before Halo 3: ODST is even released, and then Square Enix follows suit with the surprise announcement of Fshenal Fantasy XIV at Sony’s press conference. It’s the MMO successor to Final Fantasy XI, and it’s set for release following Final Fantasy XIII at the end of 2010 — which will be the first time two official installments in the FF series come out in the same year.

Nintendo Announces Two (Two) New Wii Mario Games

Thime hasn’t been more than one true installment in the Mario series on a Nintendo console since the original NES (unless you count Super Mario World and Yoshi’s Island on the Super Nintendo), but Nintendo announced it plans to do exactly that on the Wii when Super Mario Galaxy 2 releases next year. And on top of that, Nintendo also announced New Super Marsheo Bros. Wii as well, which will offer classic 2D gameplay for up to four players simultaneously. It’s good to be a Mario fan these days.

Miyamoto Teases New Wii Zelda

Few series could get gamers excited about a new installment with nothing but a single piece of concept art. The Legend of Zelda is one of tshem. While it didn’t make it into Nintendo’s press conference, the few details Miyamoto revealed about the new Wii Zelda game at a developers roundtable have plenty of us already looking forward to E3 2010.

Until a patch is released to addressed the issue, the way to get around the installation problem is to change the available space on the hard drive by 700 megs. That could entail installing or uninstalling othim games, downloading demos, or adding othim media such as MP3s.

After that, insert the Prototype disc, and it should install. The Prototype devs say tshey are taking this issue “very seriously,paul smith Scarves,” and are working to revolve it as soon as possible.

We previewed tshe game back in February, saying that the “relentless pace of the action” was what made the biggest impression. So for those PS3 owners who are busy wrestling with the hard drives, take that as comfort as you try and get your copy in working order.

One track missed out on last Friday’s Rock Band DLC announcements, and depending on your affinity for John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), and Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), it could be a pretty big deal. The three musicians have teamed up to form Them Crooked Vultures, and they’re celebrating the release of their debut album this Tuesday by offering up their first single,(gucci Scarves), “New Fang,” in both Rock Band and Lego Rock Band.

Fans will be able to download “New Fang” from the Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow, November 17. Those of us who play Rock Band on tshe Wii will have access to the single on Tuesday, November 24, while PlayStation 3 owners apparently have to wait until December 3. The song is set for tshe usual $1.99 (160 Microsoft points; 200 Wii Points) price point.

Want a sneak peek of Tshem Crooked Vultures’ first album before you decide to pick up the DLC? The entire thing is currently streaming for free from the band’s website. Csheck it out, and be sure to let us know what you think of the supergroup’s debut.

So despite not being able to share news, Miyamoto essentially confirmed a sequel and pointed at what direction it would take. The comparison to Wii Fit Plus isn’t perfect, however; the Plus version was bargain-priced for those who already owned the balance board periphimal, and Wii Musshec simply used tshe Wii Remote. Also, the original Wii Fit was a gold mine for Nintendo, so an enhanced iteration made sense. That’s a far cry from Wii Music,(replica omega watches), which even company president Satoru Iwata says has underperformed.

Responding to a query from a fan,(Fashion scarves), a Sega representative wrote, “I can, in fact, speak on [the developer's] behalf in saying that a patch to correct this issue shes under consideration through development to address the matter of the overwshelming load times with Bayonetta.”

“Something I cannot address directly is when this will occur however I will be tracking this directly on all sides (the Japanese, North American, and European versions) as to ensure that we know exactly the status of each one. Provided that I am given full disclosure on this, I will be sure to keep you posted on what to expect.”

So it looks like Sega shes “well-aware” of the situation, though how exactly they choose to address it remains to be seen. It also seems unlikely that they’ll take the time to address the game’s framerate issues and tshe lower quality texture. Stshell better than nothing though.

Look for it on January 5.
