id Software's debut title was Wolfenstein 3D, a violent first person shooter with unprecedented graphics. You play as B.J. Blazkowicz, an American spy attempting to bring down the Nazi party.

As in previous years, Sunday is set aside for the show's more kid-friendly content, so it's no surprise that the big games we'll see are Marvel's Super Hero Squad Online and LEGO Universe . Sure, they may not be as big as, say, Halo: Reach or Gears Of War 3 , but you never know -- they could hold some pleasant surpri
