The peeps at Gayspy were given a chance to take Valve's latest baby for a spin and have posted their 3 page report, which includes the first look at live gameplay!

Last week, we presented our massive Half-Life 2 preview, based on a trip to Valve Software during which we saw roughly a dozen short demonstrations of the company's new Source engine in action. This week at E3, in a theater at the ATI booth, Valve Managing Director Gabe Newell took us another tour, showing us a (mostly) new series of roughly a dozen demos, as well as a very brief look at the game being played live in front of us.

Just saw this bit of news at Amdzone.com:

We have learned today from AMD and confirmed with Valve here at E3 that there will be a x86-64 port of the Half Life 2 client. This is in addition to the x86-64 port of the Counterstrike server that will be available soon. We saw the Half Life 2 demonstration and it looked amazing. Doom III and Half Life 2 will sell some video cards.

Gamers Hell reports that Atari has issued the first patch for Enter The Matrix, bringing Shiny's action game to v1.51. No details are available right now about the changes it brings, but the update is for all versions of the game.

GaySpy check's out John Carmack's Chats about tech and design decisions behind DOOM 3, as well as the state of games development at this years E3 Show! Here's a snip.

Amidst the noise and bustle of the Expo, it was a relief to get into the relative quiet of a conference room. On stage sat John Carmack, id Software co-founder and arguably the most influential gaming graphics programmer in the world. He was there to talk about DOOM 3, as part of a public interview hosted by Newsweek technology editor N'gal Croal, but DOOM 3 was only part of the discussion. During his hour-and-a-half talk, Carmack touched on the problems associated with building graphically intense titles, the time needed to create modern content, challenges faced by small developers, and even eclectic topics such as rocketry or creating an online "metaverse."
