Day two of E3 2009 is in the books. Edge editor-in-chief drops in for a short visit with Mark and Garnett to get the show started and then Shane and David join to get into some of the best games seen during the day including Left4Dead 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Assassin's Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, and more.

Jeff Cannata from the Totally Rad Show and Mark MacDonald join David and Garnett to review a day packed with announcements at the Sony and Nintendo press conferences. Mario Galaxy 2, a new Metroid, and God of War 3 are just some of the highlights from this E3 extravaganza.

In our first daily E3 2009 special Matt Leone and Thierry Nguyen join David and Garnett to cover the major press conferences that launched E3 week. They get right into Microsoft noting highlights like Alan Wake and Splinter Cell Conviction as well as discussing the motion sensing control interface code named Project Natal. From EA there's no doubt that the announcement of APB's new home stole the show and despite an appearance by James Cameron Ubisoft's briefing was most notable for Assassin's Creed 2 only being shown as a trailer.

For the last pre-E3 episode Travis Moses from GamePro and Brad Shoemaker from GiantBomb.com join David and Garnett. A strong Whatcha Been Playin? includes more on inFamous and Prototype, Transformers, Killing Floor and more. E3 predictions dominate an extended second segment with everyone laying it on the line with their thoughts on the lineups from Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, and the major publishers.

The latest Sports Anomaly podcast (episode 112) features The Sports Game Guy (Todd Zuniga), David Ellis, Greg Ford and Andrew Fitch as they discuss their E3 predictions (particularly about Madden NFL 10), the patch for UFC Undisputed, new Backbreaker screens, and The Bigs 2 career mode discussed!

Running a day late because of the Memorial Day Holiday, the at1UP crew hit the studio to discuss: Bayonetta, Punch-Out!!, shysty bartenders, and this weekend's Maker Faire. Jade Stuff makes it's triumphant return with Ms. Kraus ranting about Phoenix Wright (spoilers ahoy).

We're joined again with Chris Plante from UGO and dive into more 1UP board discussions; the latest Team ICO project, and why people become jaded with gaming. Sharkey shares his love for the NSFW indie game, Seed of Destruction in Recession Gaming. Then we top it all off with the results of our E3 blogger contest.

It's Patrick's last show with John, David, and Garnett before moving down to LA and he goes out in style. Whatcha Been Playin features inFamous, Prototype, Call of Juarez, Boom Blox Bash Party and more. Then in the second segment the topics cover Spielberg's view on the future for videogames to the leaked Trico video before the attention gets turned to E3 -- including the reveal of our big plans for the show!

1UP contributor and Majora's Mask superfan Bob Mackey calls in to discuss Ghostbusters games with Parish and Sharkey. And hey -- Majora's Mask came out on Virtual Console this week, so we talk about that, too.

The latest Sports Anomaly podcast (episode 111) features The Sports Game Guy (Todd Zuniga), David Ellis, Greg Ford and Andrew Fitch as they discuss NHL 10's first-person fighting, Madden NFL hands-on, and listen in for a UFC Undisputed and Punch-Out!! double day and date!
