We might not be necessarily live from E3, but that may be all the better, as it turns out, for staying on top of all the developments coming out of the show. A wrapup of yesterday's goings-on: we catalog the 7 things you need to know about Microsoft's press conference, the first gameplay trailer of Beatles: Rock Band, the first video and artwork for Valve's Left 4 Dead 2, six minutes of the Wii's Boy and His Blob remake, and LucasArts announces both a Monkey Island remake for PC and Xbox 360, and a new Wii and PC Monkey Island episodic series.

Elsewhere in more indie developments, prolific Swedish indie designer Cactus shows off his gloriously lo-fi shooter/platformer Air Pirates, Minotaur China Shop developers Flashbang finally show what the Wars in their upcoming Crane Wars will be, and retro-inspired artist Olly Moss returns with more Penguin book covers for games.

Finally, we took a deeper look into what Sony's leaked announcement of a new all-digital-delivered PSP might mean for indie devs, the Noby Noby Boy team does an awesomely touching analog version of GIRL reaching Mars, an Etsy user creates a horrifyingly cute version of Silent Hill, and the day's 'one shot's: Polytron show work in progress Fez, and the first look at the iPhone generative music puzzle game xgon.
