As Senior Vice President of World Wide Studios, few people are better positioned to talk about the new games announced at E3 2010 than Michael Denny.

I was lucky enough to speak to him on camera about the latest announcements. Check out the video below to see what he had to say about E3 and the games that, by now, you’re all eagerly awaiting.

We have more info and interviews on all of the latest and greatest games at E3, so keep your eyes exactly where they are.

Hi Everyone, Richie from Konami UK here.

How would you like to meet the creator of Metal Gear Solid Hideo Kojima and lead artist Yoji Shinkawa? Well you can this weekend!

As part of the METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER World Tour, Hideo Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa are coming to London for two exclusive signing sessions.

The first is on Friday June 18th at HMV’s Oxford Street store (150 Oxford Street, W1) between 16:00 and 18:00; they’ll be there to meet the fans and sign copies of the new METAL GEAR SOLD: PEACE WALKER on launch day. HMV is also the only place you’ll be able to get your hands on the Exclusive Packaging with the Japanese cover art

The second event is taking place on Saturday June 19th at UNIQLO’s flagship store (311 Oxford Street) between 11:00 – 13:00, Mr Kojima and Mr Shinkawa will be there to meet the fans and sign copies of METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER or if you got that signed the day before, how about an exclusive postcard made especially for the event. There may even be some giveaways for the first people in line at the UNIQLO signing.

But wait, there’s more. You can also get your hands on one of the limited edition METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER T-Shirts by UNIQLO, each t-shirt has a code which will unlock a T-Shirt for use in the game. The t-shirts don’t go on sale in the UK until the day of the signing and will sell out fast (no pre-orders available, first come first served)

It’s going to be an exciting weekend, hope to see you there!

It felt appropriate seeing MotorStorm Apocalypse in London’s Fabric nightclub. With hard dance music throbbing out of the cutting-edge sound system and a selection of journalists seated on the vibrating dance floor, we were presented with the third MotorStorm festival on PlayStation 3.

The premise this time around, Evolution Studios’ Matt Southern explains to us in this video interview, is urban off-road racing. This is not a post-apocalyptic city; you’re there during the apocalypse and every second of every race you’re bombarded with earthquakes, explosions and other environmental madness.

For sheer lunatic ambition the team at Evolution Studios are hard to beat and with MotorStorm Apocalypse they seem to have outdone themselves. Quite simply, you’re racing through a city as the world ends around you.

It’s a big, big week this week! Yesterday we announced our new Home Square and Shopping Centre spaces, as well as launching the PlayStation E3 Booth space … and there’s plenty more for you to read about below! We’ll get started with E3:

Millions of gamers across the globe are glued to their monitors this week, rabidly devouring every last detail surrounding the announcements made during the video game industry’s biggest trade show: The Electronic Entertainment Expo. Simply put, E3 is the place to be if you are passionate about games. Everyone wants to be there, but only a select few are able to attend.

Until now.

This week, we take a huge step forward in bringing gamers closer to their favourite PlayStation titles, closer to the people that create these games, and closer to one another by delivering the E3 experience directly to their PlayStation 3 consoles.

Right now, you can log into PlayStation Home and experience E3 for yourself in PlayStation Home’s virtual E3 booth. Watch Jack Tretton’s 2010 E3 press conference and get briefed on what to expect from the PlayStation platform in the coming months. Check out the latest games and collect exclusive PlayStation Home rewards (we’ve got new ones waiting for you every day of E3). Unlock the VIP area and get a sneak peek at what’s in store for PlayStation Home fanatics this year. Only in PlayStation Home can you participate in the E3 action without boarding a plane, securing a pass, or stepping foot in the Los Angeles Convention Centre.

Moving on from E3, tomorrow’s update will be chock full of exciting new content. So much that we’ve not got the time or space to list it all in detail. The content explosion starts with the anticipated “Playground” space, and urban playground set in an environment reminiscent of Brooklyn 30 years ago. The playground contains plenty to do with a multiplayer basketball game (H-O-R-S-E), chess, rooftop lounge, and a stage perfect for letting your hair down while enjoying the original hip-hop and funk music pumping out.

Drop by the GAME space this week to check out the newest Lunar mini-game: Lunar Duel. In this two-player game you’ll be tasked with lobbing ammunition of various types across the lunar landscape in an effort to eradicate your opponent!

There’s an absolute shopping bonanza in the new Shopping Centre this week. So much that we won’t detail everything. To give you a taster of what to expect, however, those browsing the stores this week might be interested by the following: Yakuza 3 clothing, Lockwood clothing, Karate Kid content, Darksiders clothing, Neptune furniture, V-Store update, Japanese-themed clothing and furniture, and more!

There’s so much new content for PlayStation Home this week that’s there’s bound to be something for everyone. Join us in the brand new Home Square and Shopping Centre tomorrow and help us celebrate this exciting occasion!
