The following websites have posted updates for MotorStorm: Pacific Rift:
- 1up: MotorStorm: Pacific Rift Preview
Quote: 
"It's tough not to look at MotorStorm: Pacific Rift and think that the two main inspirations are the original game (obviously) and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. The track's massive jungle settings appear to be ripped right out of Naughty Dog's PS3 shooter, which isn't a bad thing -- there's certainly a more lived-in and authentic feel to these courses, even if the visuals still need a few more coats of polish to match up to the near-photo-realism of Pacific Rift's predecessor."
- PSX Extreme: MotorStorm: Pacific Rift Impressions
Quote: "Immediately, what strikes you most about MotorStorm 2 is how utterly gorgeous it is. The amount of lavish details you see on screen are far and beyond what you saw in the original game. In all honesty, there is simply no comparison to the visuals of the original MotorStorm and its follow-up, the term 'night and day' couldn't possibly be any more applicable in this instance." - IGN: MotorStorm: Pacific Rift Screenshots
- Shacknews: Wii Sports Resort Announced
Quote: "Nintendo's Cammie Dunaway demonstrated the game and accessory on stage at the company's E3 2008 press conference, where a number of the game's activities were shown off. Wii Sports Resort includes such activities as the fencing game Sword Play, the jet skiing game Power Cruising and a frisbee toss game known as Disc Dog." - 1up: Wii Sports Resort Announced
Quote: "Looks like Nintendo is hoping that lightning will strike twice. And with Wii Sports still arguably the system's killer app (Mario Galaxy might disagree), there's no reason that the newly announced follow-up Wii Sports Resort can't fill the same role." - IGN: Wii Sports Gets a Sequel
Quote: "Sword fighting is another game that uses the Wii Motion Plus controls to simulate 1:1. Players can duel each other using lightsaber looking plastic swords. Nintendo demoed the game by having Nintendo executives try to kill each other on screen." - Gamespot: Wii Sports Resort Quick Impressions
Quote: "Wii Sports Resort will follow in the footsteps of the original Wii Sports, offering a series of minigames all with a summer holiday theme. While the final number of games hasn't been confirmed, Nintendo execs at this morning's conference previewed three events--disc dog, Jet Ski racing, and swordfighting."

So NCAA Football 09 officially comes out today. Of course some people got it early as usual. For me, I don't really have that much time to play it during the week, with doing all the E3 news this week, it will take up my time. I will get it this weekend.
Oh yeah, I don't remember the weather being this hot compared to last year around this time.

Gamespy has posted the following FIFA Soccer 09 updates:- FIFA Soccer 09 All-Play Preview
Quote: "The meat of the game lies in the eight on eight Footii Match mode, which is basically a season mode that uses the All-Play controls. In this mode, a star player for each team is designated as a captain, and as you progress, star players from other teams will become available to join your own team, allowing you to potentially build an all-star team." - FIFA Soccer 09 Screenshots

- Gamespot: NCAA Football 09 All-Play Hands-On (Wii)
Quote: "Of course, NCAA 09 isn't just for newbies and the elderly; there's also an advanced play option that will give you more exacting control over every aspect of your game on the field. In fact, the game has a deep set of options for players, including rivalry games, mascot games, and even a Dynasty mode for those who want to dive into the deep end of the college football experience." - IGN: NCAA Football 09 Screenshots (360)
- Pasta Padre: Pastapadre Campus Legend 09 Begins
Quote: "First some general things I’ve taken notice of. I’m a little frustrated playing as a CB. Last year I felt that the opposing QB never threw in my direction, almost like he was purposely avoiding me. It got to where I had to bait the QB in order to get any action."

- Gamespot: Madden 09 Wii Hands-On (Wii)
Quote: "One of the first steps EA took to make the game less intimidating was to introduce a new play-calling system, which adjusts to the player's skill level. Playbooks now come in three flavors: easy, normal, and advanced." - Gamespot: Madden NFL 09 Video Interview (Wii)

Gamespot has posted the following Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 updates:- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 Gameplay Movie 2-4 and Video Preview (360)
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All-Play Hands-On (Wii)
Quote: "Though Tiger 09 producers say that the swing in Tiger has been revamped, it feels very similar to last year's game, especially when you're using a draw or fade in your swing. Like last year, you twist your wrist to put draw or fade on your shot as you swing, though you can also choose to add draw or fade before your shot begins."
- GameSpot: E3'08 NBA Live 09 Wii Hands-On
Quote: "The new All-Play control option in NBA Live 09 will let you disconnect the Wii Nunchuk attachment and simply take over control of key player actions such as shooting and passing. Most of the other player actions (including movement) are handled automatically by the AI. It is EA's hope that this will let experienced and novice players compete against each other, each using settings tailored to relative skill level." - 5W-G: NBA Live 365: Rosters and AI Baked fresh every Morning
Quote: "At the recent NBA Live 09 community event in Burnaby, British Columbia, I sat down with the game’s producers, who took pains to explain what NBA Live 365 was and how it worked. While the assembled personnel didn’t have any problem wrapping their heads around it, it’s possible that it won’t make sense to the casual gamer at first." - Gamespot: NBA Live 09 Screenshots (PS3)
- GameSpy: NBA Live 09 Screenshots (PS3)
- IGN: NBA Live 09 Tutorial Video (360)
- IGN: NBA Live 09 Dynamic DNA First Look (PS3)
Quote: "Dynamic DNA will also impact a brand new feature known as NBA Rewind, which will allow players to play any game that happened between two teams for this last year's season as well as the upcoming year's season with the way that each player was performing at that point in time."
