Sony @ E3 11: Medieval Moves coming Fall 2011 from the creators of Sports Champions
Sony wasted no time unveiling new PlayStation Move titles, as NBA 2K12 would be getting PlayStation Move support. But a new title built from the ground up with the motion controller will also be coming: Medieval Moves: Dead Man’s Quest. From the creators of Sports Champions, it admittedly looks like the gladiator and archery segments of that game built into a larger action game. However, throughout the large setting with multiple branching paths, players will need to overcome traps and platforming segments in order to progress.
Medieval Moves will arrive on PlayStation 3 in Fall 2011.
Sony @ E3 11: God of War Origins Collection, Ico & Shadow coming September in 3D
We already heard about Monster Hunter and Peace Walker coming to PlayStation 3 in high definition. Now, SCEA President & CEO Jack Tretton has confirmed the release date for two other highly anticipated PSP Collections. Both God of War: Origins Collection (compiling the formerly PSP-exclusive Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta) as well as the Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection will release in September for PS3.
Many were worried once Ico & Shadow was delayed with an unspecified new release date, but it doesn’t seem like we’ll have to wait long.

EA @ E3 11: Battlefield 3 to get tracking/social service, multiplatform open beta incoming
Battlefield 3 is the arguable centerpiece of EA’s E3 press conference, and it’s certainly getting the star treatment. DICE has revealed that a service similar to Call of Duty: Elite will be launching for the game, where players can track their statistics and organize into squads, even launching the game from the service.

Battlefield 3 will be released for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 25.
