EA's Army of Two 38
EA today confirmed the existence of a much-anticipated next-gen title, Army of Two. From the Eurogamer article: "Army of Two 'will throw gamers into hot spots ripped from current day headlines,' says EA, where they will use two-man strategies and tactics, transitioning between playing with an AI partner or a live player. We're told that EA's wanted to make this for ages, but until now it's felt that the hardware couldn't deliver a suitably believable co-operative AI player."

The biggest games-related event of the year is about to start. That's what's going on. It should die down again after E3.
Even so

I don't recall this many games postings from past E3s
I don't recall this many revolutionary new controller designs (namely 1) in the past decade. Remember that the analog thumbstick of the N64 and the touch screen of the Newton (which the DS borrowed and improved upon) were revealed well before Slashdot became popular.

I hope it allows split screen offline co-op [slashdot.org] and not just online multiplayer.

Well, sort-of
Co-operative gameplay has been a hard-core gamer favourite for (nearly) 7 years since Perfect Dark included it; the problem is that it costs a lot of time to produce it and few casual gamers
