With the big press conferences at E3 over, Stephen does a quick wrap up for MTV News of what each company had to show. After a quick run though of the highlights from Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony, Mr. Totilo offers a little bit of insight into who's "winning" E3, and asks the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto about "Wii Music."

Slowly but surely, we're working our way through E3. The event is a shadow of its former self, but there's still plenty to cover for the three reporters from MTV Multiplayer. Despite this being the first day when the show was open, we were spending most of our time shuffling back and forth between press conferences; both Nintendo and Sony held theirs today. After that, it was time for appointments and interviews. Tomorrow looks to hold the same promises.

Formerly announced just minutes ago, this is the debut trailer for Ubisoft's upcoming FPS (first person survival) game, "I Am Alive." The game is set in Chicago after it has been decimated by an earthquake, and it's up to you to survive. The trailer looks quite impressive, even through it doesn’t highlight any gameplay. However, it does a great job of setting the tone for what could be a really interesting title.

When Sid Meier speaks, people listen. His latest take on the "Civilization" franchise puts a much more user friendly spin on what is usually a fairly complex series of games. With simple controls, and helpful advisors "Civilization Revolution" make it easy to jump into a game and take over the world. Watch the first '120 Seconds' of "Civilization Revolution" and see if it's about time you to rule the world… virtually of course.

The first day of E3 2008 is almost over. Stephen is checking out "Gears of War 2," while I scratch my head and figure out where I need to be tomorrow morning. Just after the Electronic Arts press conference this afternoon, however, I propped up my laptop and recorded some brief reactions to the day's events. Look for more of these throughout the week, and remember -- keep checking our Twitter and Flickr accounts for updates!

This is the first of, hopefully, many video dispatches that features Stephen in his hotel room as he gives us the rundown of what he's up to today in L.A., complete with a peek at what the Microsoft press conference secret decoder invites look like. He may also mention the fact that he will be playing "Mega Man 9," and getting a look at "Gears of War 2" a little later today. I'm completely jealous.
