Ever play a 3D hand held game tied to a gorgeous blond model? Yeah, it happens all the time, so boring. But the video does give a nice look at the 3D aspect of the system. In the video you can see how it adapts to the players movement of the device.
A demonstration of Ubisoft's Your Shape: Fitness Evolved for the Xbox 360's Kinect. This was probably the best demonstration for Kinect out of the whole conference. The game will come out around the same time of the launch of Kinect in November.
I still have hope that this will be a good World Cup... This article aggregates a lot of things that have been said about the World Cup experience this year (South Africa's infrastructure, low scoring games, uninteresting first round match-ups, etc). I've noticed in a few broadcasts that upper seating areas are not filled to capacity and maybe the vuvuzelas make up for this. I think this will change once the Knock-out stages begin, but Nick Webster has a point:
I really enjoyed this article.
Walk through of the hotly anticipated game Epic Mickey for the Wii. The game went through a redesign to make it look closer to a lot of the amazing concept art shown earlier in the year.
Written by JD Coverly of WonderHowTo World, LoadSave: Want to take a break from all that Red Dead redemption stuff? Well Ubisoft, the makers of the hit game Just Dance, is bringing you Dance on Broadway! The new game releases today, June 15th. Price: $39.99
So go to the link for the instructions, and you'll end up with this screen. You should know how to do this if you've ever done any video game cheats.
Call it World Cup fever. Someone or someones decided to make a whole bunch of reenactments of LEGO soccer games, including the infamous US vs England draw. Via MetaFilter.
W-O-W. This trailer looks amazing. From 2kGames (Bioshock), this game looks to be set in the 50's with stellar art direction. I don't know how well this sits with people who have played the previous XCOM games, but from a new player perspective I really loved the trailer.
From the maker of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, Itagaki brings you his newest game. Wow, this game looks great but will it be better than Bayonetta?
From the upcoming game Deus Ex 3, here is an in game screen shot. Oh boy this is going to throw the Tea Party in a tiffy! The original shot (the poster is in the upper left corner):
FrontierVille reminds me of FarmVille's land design, Treasure Isle's collectibles, Mafia Wars energy consumption all wrapped up with an Oregon Trail theme. I like very much that when I need energy, it's actually available to find or earn and that there's really very little to wait for. The 5 and 15 minute crops keep you coming back to harvest. The bonus meter keeps you clicking on things as quickly as you can. There's a bit of strategy involved with your space plan and game play. You can real...
Rock Band 3, coming this Fall, was revealed at none other than USA Today. Fully functional 25 key keyboard, 80+ songs including The Doors and Bohemian Rhapsody, Pro mode, updated guitars, and a kitchen sink are included in this new sequel. From the article:In addition to the new keyboard controller, also due for the game's release are two advanced guitar controllers that take advantage of the Pro mode, one a full-sized, fully functional Fender guitar (all sold separately, no prices yet).Other...

Check out this article from the LA Times that picks through how awesome Red Dead Redemption is for its creators Take Two.
A cartoony, "Trials HD"-type game being released today. It's multiplayer so you can take on people at home or online. Looks like a lot of fun. You can also create your own levels. Here is an excerpt from the Game Informer review:
The full 30 minute short film by John Hillcoat that was shown on TV. From the description: Red Dead Redemption: The Man from Blackwater
Gamers can read, too! This book is slated to come out in October. Of course there'll be arguments over what should have been included, what got overlooked, and what's overrated. Which video games do you think belong in the "must-play" categories?
E3 is around the corner and new game information is being leaked or revealed everywhere. Deus Ex was a huge hit a long time ago. Think Bladerunner. The trailer actually looks amazing and it's obviously all cgi. I've seen actual in game screen shots, and it looks ok. I'll wait till the gameplay videos come out before making any judgements.

Video Games Live is in LA 6/17. I went last year and it was so much fun!
These are great times. It is about time advertisers invaded our video games in the same way they do our driving (billboards), walking (fliyers, posters), and our private home (emails, bulk mail, text messages).
Cheating ruins everything. Cheating makes game play unfair for others who may be truly competitive and strategic. Cheating makes others disrespect and un-friend you. There can be unforeseen consequences, like getting viruses, trojans or your account hacked from downloading a cheat/bot program. And you will get banned from the game for violating terms of service.
ESPN + ABC to Broadcast all 64 Games! This is AWESOME news. In the past we've struggled to get obscure matches broadcast on regular channels. For the first World Cup ever, the US will get every game on either ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. The 2010 World Cup South Africa kicks off June 11 and the final match is July 11.
The 2010 World Cup is upon us and there isn't much that hasn't been said already. All the leagues around the world are finished and champions have been crowned. The media has covered every angle imaginable. Or have they? Or should they? Is this about the sport anymore? What will we remember about this World Cup? A great goal, a new venue, a great comeback, injured players who never made it, a bad call by a referee, a new star rising, overlooked players, 4-4-2, 3-4-1-2, 3-4-3, bad subs, FIFA 2...
It's been a long time.
Upcoming Peanuts game. Thought it was a cool looking picture of the gang.
There are no spoilers in this writing, read without worry. Finished Episode 3 of Alan Wake yesterday, impressed by different reasons. I originally bought the game for the possibility of great story, dialogue, and voice acting. That part of the game has been disappointing. What has stood out from playing episodes 1 to 3 is the level design and game play.
This is a new video game magazine. It's not your everyday Game Informer, though. Kill Screen Magazine aims to be "what early Rolling Stone was to rock n’ roll or Wired was to tech". The sample PDFs are an intriguing introduction. I'd love to see what they come up with.

I really really want this game but 1. It's $60 for what feels like a $40 game.

Progression, isn't it great? It used to be that video games only rewarded you with game scores. The satisfaction was always at the end, and all that mattered was getting there.
