The Best Game Death Innovation At E3?  One of the odder things
about video games is all the work that's put into new ways of
killing virtual enemies or having one's own character meet their
doom. Atlus' Demon's Souls showed a new twist at E3.  I was
given a quick demo of the dark upcoming PlayStation 3 third-
person action game Demon's Souls during E3. The game features a
knight who hacks his way through both knight-sized and dragon-
sized enemies.  The hook for the game are the ghosts that
appear. They appear to be other players' characters or enemies
running in unexpected patterns through the levels that you're
playing, but not quite. They're not, the developer playing the
game in front of me explained, programmed by the Demon's Souls'
creators. They are generated by the game's other players and
randomly sent out to haunt other people's games.  This is a very
different approach to pulling other people's content than Spore
pulling in your buildings into my copy of the game or even of me
downloading ghost data
