The videogame industry's star-studded preview expo, E3, dropped eye-popping sci-fi technology and some very A-list music games this week.

It ends today, and had kicked off Monday night with Jay-Z and Eminem headlining a VIP show at the Wiltern Theatre to pimp Guitar Hero spin-off DJ Hero. Other guests/geeks included Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey.

We then headed downtown to the sprawling expo to see what else is gonna be big in games 'n' gadgets. Here's all you need to know:

B+

Review in a Hurry: A horror story that drives a stake at your heart—but not like you'd think. Two lost souls (OK, one with a soul, one not so much) become friends and keep each other's secrets while the rest of the world abhors them. The body count piles up, but it's the way a boy named Oskar is treated that may get your blood boiling.

Review in a Hurry: The usually lovable Anne Hathaway takes a dark turn as the spoiler at a long wedding weekend, and helps—along with all the shaky handheld cameras—deliver a close-up, gut-wrenching tale of family ties.

The Bigger Picture: When Kym (Hathaway) leaves rehab to attend the wedding of her sister Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt), the old wounds of the Buchman family are ripped wide open. The story takes place over a long weekend, and pretty much every opportunity that Kym has to make things right goes horribly wrong—even a simple toast is cringeworthy.

Review in a Hurry: During World War II, four young men from the all-black 92nd Buffalo Soldier division face off against Nazis and a racially charged U.S. military, and end up making their last stand in Italy with a young boy. It's uneven but often powerful, two things we've come to expect from director Spike Lee.

A Review in a Hurry: Kiefer Sutherland stars as a security guard who spends his nights trolling a burned-out department store. Everything is ashen and destroyed. Everything that is, except the mirrors.

A Review in a Hurry: Sure, Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman are both easy on the eyes, but in this flick, it's what you don't see that will freak you out. A knock at the door has never been this terrifying.

Grand Theft Auto: Biggest, Baddest Game Ever?

Tue., Apr. 29, 2008 10:47 AM PDT by Peter Paras

Rockstar/Playstation

Since midnight, gamers have been snatching and powering up the year's latest—and possibly biggest—videogame blockbuster, Grand Theft Auto IV. Heck, one guy's even been stabbed.

If you haven't been paying attention, blasting aliens in Halo 3 is so last year. It's all about getting back to basics now, and stepping into a life of crime in pursuit of guns, gals and huge explosions. Per Variety, this newest GTA may bring in $400 million in its first week alone. (That's a record-smashing grenade toss away to the $404 million made by Jack Sparrow's last Pirate romp.)

But is it any good?
