While we will be at E3 covering all the Android stuff that will be there, we also know that most of our readers are also gamers when it comes to PC and console. That is why we will be covering all that tasty stuff as well while we are there. Today we got the Blacklight Retribution game announcement in our inbox.

Blacklight Retribution will be one of three titles that Perfect World Entertainment will be showcasing at E3 this year. This will be an online free-to-play FPS (first-person shooter) game that features some great graphics thanks to the use of Unreal Engine. Not to be outdone by that fact alone though, Blacklight Retribution will have other unique aspects including the ability to use mechs in-game. While there isn't a whole lot of detail out about other aspects of the game, we are guessing this will change at E3.

We will be getting some hands-on time with Blacklight Retribution during E3 so expect some gameplay footage and more details in the next few days. Until then, here is the official E3 trailer for Blacklight Retribution to enjoy along with the official press release below.
