Thought motion control was the only trick Sony worked up for their E3 appearance? Over at Offworld we looked at some of the developments that went unmentioned at their press conference, including a portable augmented reality game for their PSP (above) that sees you discovering and Pokemon-battling creatures conjured out of thin air, and Echochrono, a time-warping PSP game that sees you enlisting the ghosts of your own previous playthroughs to help you advance through its puzzling levels.

Elsewhere we rounded up some of Sony's other E3 developments: the first look at the PSP's littler LittleBigPlanet, the retro-vector design-your-own-PS3-shooter Gravity Crash, the fantastically robust and intuitive track editor for their "race, create, share" kart game ModNation Racers, the latest look at gritty PS3 thriller Heavy Rain, and our guess that Hideo Kojima's newest portable Metal Gear Solid will include 4-player simultaneous play in its main storyline.

Finally, we looked at the 'Rock Gods' joining the adventure for Double Fine's Brütal Legend including Judas Priest's Rob Halford, Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister, Lita Ford, and, of course, Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne, and saw how Nintendo plan to mix competitive and cooperative elements in their updated classic New Super Mario Bros Wii.
