Afterward, Marcus picked up the Locust’s dropped shield and planted it into the ground to protect himself from a second new enemy, a huge spider-like transportation service (pictured below) for a single Locust (although I could be wrong and that is just one of those flying Locust enemies). From what was shown, it looked like only the Locust located on top of the spider monster could attack. 
This year’s E3 started off with a bang, as Microsoft brought the awesomeness back to the show. No graphs. No charts. No numbers. Nothing but trailers, game announcements, and live demos. Here is a breakdown of Microsoft’s show at E3.

E3 Microsoft: Resident Evil 5
Being the large Resident Evil enthusiast that I am, it is surprising that it took me this long to make a post about the footage and information released about Resident Evil 5. Hit the jump for some screen caps, analysis, and links to co-op demo footage, an interview, and a new trailer.
The zombie is out of the bag. Resident Evil 5 will have co-op play both online and off. Everyone rejoice! From what the linked interview at the bottom of the page mentions, you can play co-op on or offline. Also, if you play by yourself, you won't be switching ala Resident Evil 0 between Chris Redfield and RE newcomer Captain Sheva Olimar. You play as Redfield the whole game, while Olimar throws Pikmin gives you health items, provides cover fire, and helps you reach unreachable places.
Sheva Olimar, your new best friend.
There will be times when Olimar helps you...
...and there will be times when you help Olimar.
A new chainsaw enemy.
Resident Evil 5 will see worldwide release on Friday, March 13th, 2009.

E3 Microsoft: Gears of War 2
The gameplay showed off at the Microsoft press conference for Gears of War 2 was from the co-op campaign mode. The whole demo itself was short and sweet, as Microsoft didn't give much time for the big games (Fallout 3, Gears 2, Fable 2) to be demoed. Hit the jump to read about some new Locust enemies and see pictures of them.
(UPDATE: Gametrailers has a new gameplay montage up. Watch it now.) 
At the end of the demo, Marcus and Dom take down a Locust that was driving the Brumak that was attacking them and Marcus makes mention that if the Locust can drive them why can't they. So, we now expect to be able to drive/ride Brumaks come November 7th.
Besides the release date being announced, Cliff Bleszinski (not Cliffy B. anymore) told us about a new game mode called "Horde." It consists of five players trying to survive as long as possible against a continuous swarm of Locust scum. Sounds delicious. This could potentially replace the deathmatch mode for some people, myself included. November 7th can't come soon enough. Subscribe To TheWaterWhole
