Check it out…

E3 finally wrapped up last week, which means I can finally focus on work-related stuff as opposed to wading through the 300+ articles in my RSS feed pertaining to this or that awesome trailer, and all the games that may or may not actually come out sometime in 2010. *cough-Alan Wake-cough* The other day Wired released their Top 10 Game Trailers From E3, and while this is a solid list, I’ve got a pseudo-list of my own. My Top 5 Titles of E3 2009 That I’m Fanboy Giddy Over. Hit the jump for the entire list.

1. Mass Effect 2

This one is for my gamer chums as well as all my pals out there who make music that is both noisy and strange. An interview from Wired.com with Amon Tobin and the Sony Music Team from the recently released title Infamous (PS3). The video focuses on their effort to bring found objects and homemade instruments into the studio to create an unconventional soundscape that accurately reflect the sense of destruction and decay in the game.

Not to be outdone by the Mass Effect Team, BioWare has also released a new trailer for their upcoming game Dragon Age: Origins, dubbed “Blur”. Much like their previous trailer, this one is dark and violent, thankfully they did save “The New *Hit” for just the last couple seconds. As with the ME2 trailer, Blur makes me that much more excited to play the game, due to hit the streets October 20th 2009.

This is the latest trailer for Mass Effect 2 that the guys from BioWare have been clamoring about for the last two weeks. As you can see from the trailer intergalactic space cowboy, Commander Shepard is alive and well. You’ll also notice that beautiful environments, frantic combat and an intriguing plotline are also making a return. Based on this trailer and the few details that leaked out earlier this week, my interest in this games has gone from very excited to super-duper excited.

Maudlin of the Well has posted their latest album, Part the Second, online for download. MotW are giving this album away for free, but they are asking for a “pay-what-you-want” donation, which can be done quickly and easily via PayPal.

Part the Second is a culmination of previously unfinished MotW tracks, and the support of their fans, as Toby puts it:

The more I see from this film, the more I want to see it. According to IMDB, Blood is set to hit these shores sometime in July.

This is the new video for The Mae Shi’s Lamb and the Lion off of their 2008 album HLLYH. It’s a quirky Flash animation piece by Natalia Stuyk done in a primitive medieval style—which is befitting the theme of the song.
