Kezins.com wasn’t able to trek out to the smog-filled vistas that the Los Angeles’ downtown sprawl has to offer this year for E3, but we will be filling you in on some of the more exciting things coming out of the week-long “festivities.”

The biggest show stopper was the reveal that Final Fantasy XIII is no longer a Sony exclusive and the PS3 version will be releasing alongside an Xbox 360 version day and date in the U.S. and Europe, as Perez just reported.

Hit the link for a quick rundown of everything else that was revealed, shown, and affirmed (as the pre-E3 leaks can attest to)…

Aired on SpikeTV, the newest trailer for Resistance 2 can be seen below. This time set in the good ole’ US of A, Nathan Hale’s mission begins in San Francisco. On his way to Chicago, Hale can be seen tackling those 4 eyed freaks who somehow swam to America.

• Community
• Campaign
• Co-op
• Competitive

Resistance 2 is basing their success on the aforementioned 4 C’s. Expect Co-op online multiplayer with 60 players on a single map.

Apparently, the guys over at GamesRadar were on to something juicy as they had a preview of the highly-anticipated Resident Evil 5 up, but have since taken it down. 1up caught the story in time and wrote up some of the more interesting tidbits.

RE5 will have, according to the now-absent preview, online co-op where players can “jump in/jump out” of the action, a cover system (as is the norm in shooters nowadays), and the right stick will enable the player to duck and dodge.

The article speculates that the game wont ship out until 2009, but Capcom “insiders” (via Kotaku) “are forecasting 2.3 million global sales for Resident Evil 5 this year.” [Emphasis ours]

Make of that what you will…2009 for RE5 goodness? Or is 2008 still in the cards?

The original Resistance broke the mold with their online play which can host 40 online players at once. Resistance 2 now sets itself a new bar by increasing that number to an impressive 60 online players in one match. Wow. To go along with that now, you’ll be able to invite 7 of your friends and play an 8-player co-op online play too. Now I bet the screen will only be a minuscule 2inch x 2inch square on your 20inch LCD, so it’s only reasonable upgrade that baby to a 52inch Sony Bravia.

Kotaku’s Owen Good recently reported on Kombo.com’s list of demands they want to see for the future of Grand Theft Auto.  It’s probably a little early to start complaining about GTA, but these kinds of articles definitely get the attention author’s crave on Digg.com and other social networking sites.

Here are the 8 demands Kombo made and my response to each:
