Whew! E3 has kicked into high metal gear solid this morning with over-the-top press conferences from Nintendo and Sony. Luckily, both media briefings featured seats with backs — and food. Sony wins though with its plush chairs, white shag carpeting and hot dog and ice cream carts that were overflowing with free grub. But we're not here for wieners and drumsticks, we're here for the games! Here's the four thangs that wowed us this morning.

"Wii Fit." Everyone who bought the Wii to just play "Wii Sports" will finally have a worthy follow-up. This interactive title allows gamers to do yoga, play goalie and aerobisize utilizing a new controller called the Balance Board. Basically, it's a wireless weight scale.

Wii Zapper. "Dunk Hunt" lives! The Wiimote is finally getting a attachment that'll allow gamers to turn their motion controller into a gun. Sure, it vaguely resembles either a dentist's instrument or sex toy, but it''ll only set gamers back $19.99.

"Killzone 2." Sony is done teasing first-person shooter lovers. At long last, they revealed actual game footage from the highly anticipated "Killzone 2" for the PlayStation 3. The highly detailed environments — rain! fire! clouds! blood! — might be worth the wait alone.

"InFamous." This PS3 exclusive from Sucker Punch made our superhero-loving heart flutter. Sony showed a brief trailer featuring a strapping superdude in a contemporary urban setting while showcasing some rad superpowers, such as some vehicle-flinging telekinesis.
