Metal Gear Solid 4 for XBOX 360?

All over the Internet all every blog out there is talking about is MSG4+Oxide for XBOX 360, and as we've approached E3, the rumors get stronger. It's obvious that something is going to happen, but will we see MGS4 on the 360? I seriously doubt it. As a matter of fact Konami went on record saying "unfortunately we are still not working on a 360 version of MGS4. However, we're revealing something."

So if not MGS4, what is it?

I think it's MGS5!!!


I guess we'll see tomorrow.

Team Fortess 2: The Spy... Isn't it obvious?

Batman: Arkham Asylum - Demo at Best Buy

Today I had an opportunity to play Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo on the PS3 at Best Buy. So what's the verdict? It's everything they said it is and more. The combo system is awesome! Just above the head of the enemies, you'll notice a electric blue spark. When you see this, if you press the triangle button, you'll perform a counter-attack! I can't wait for this game to come out in September.

Uncharted 2: Gameplay Video (5 minutes)

Mass Effect 2: Pre-E3 Video

Damnation: The Enemies of Damnation Trailer


Damnation seems to be equal parts Call of Duty and Crackdown, with its gritty war centric story line and its vertical go-anywhere-environments. The question is does the game have the chops to compete with inFAMOUS, Prototype, Bionic Commando, Terminator: Salvation, and other shooters being released within the same timeframe.

InFAMOUS: The Developers Talk About the Game

Duke Nukem Forever leaked gameplay video?


The embedded video seems to be gameplay of the famed vaporware 'Duke Nukem Forever'. It's a shame this game may never see the light of day, as it looks to be an entertaining mix of a first person shooter with adult themed antics (including the section where Duke investigates a gentlemen's club). With imaginative level designs, fluidly animated enemies, huge bosses, and at least one on-rail section, where you ride in a mining cart, it looks like the gameplay would have been both entertaining and fairly immersive.

There's also a forum thread with images of various Duke Nukem Forever assets, see it here

PS3 Home: Living Room Stage Set

The embedded video showcases the Living Room Stage Set for PS3 Home, as in make your own PS3 Home-based movies. No really! Check it out!

Red Steel 2

I played the original Red Steel, and while it was far from ideal, it was easy to see that in the hands of the right development team, it's sequel could be the game we (core gamers) have been waiting for! If the trailer truly demonstrates what we can expect, then I'll be buying a copy as soon as it's released! I guess we'll have to see what the coming weeks and months will bring.

What's Microsoft up to?

Microsoft seems to have a software drought at the moment (pertaining to XBOX 360 exclusives). On the surface, it looks like Sony is going to blow Microsoft out of the water from now until the end of 2009. But, what if the reason Microsoft hasn't announced anything new is because they are waiting to announce a slew of new games that have some special connection/interaction with a yet-to-be-announced peripheral. What peripheral you ask? The X-Mote.

There have been many rumors reported (including on my blog) about this phantom piece of hardware, and there still have been no official announcements. Well, E3 2009 is coming in about a month, and you'd best believe that Microsoft wants to show something great.  Something that will marginalize both Nintendo and Sony. So, what could Microsoft do to marginalize Nintendo? Steal their thunder! Help everyone to see how limited and primitive the Wii really is! No offense to the Wii crowd, I fell for the hype too, and bought one... Just admit it, we've all been had.

If Microsoft announces a Wiimote-like controller with equal or better accuracy than the Wii Motion Plus offers, along with a handful of key titles... Microsoft may just have a winner on its hands. Furthermore, if Microsoft bundles the new controller with the model of the XBOX 360 that sells for $199, perhaps it would start eating Wii sales. The majority of "casual" gamers who are buying the Wii, are buying it to play Wii Sports. So, if Microsoft ships their console with a Wii Sports clone, and the motion controller than it may become a better all around game console than the Wii. A games console for all of us.

But what would this introduction mean for Sony? Well, if Sony doesn't release a similar controller with games to support it, then Sony may loose additional ground to Microsoft. The PS3 is already more expensive than the XBOX 360, and if the 360 adds motion-based gaming to its repertoire, Microsoft may be propelled to first place within a year or two!

So, what is Microsoft up to? I guess we'll see at E3.
