Limbo to be released on PSN, and Steam.

Very little information has been released, and it is not known if this version will arrive with added content. Limbo is a game that has been synonymous with the Xbox 360 for some time, and it is a shocker. Perhaps now this will lead the game to new audiences.

Minecraft officially announced for Xbox 360.

For those who haven't seen the teaser trailer:

Fatal frame for kinect. (Another game that should be on kinect, but isn't.)

Say cheese?

Look! Another game that should be on the kinect, but isn't for reasons not known! Seriously, there are a ton of games that are just begging for a kinect adaptation, but it seems like everyone is more focused on how to make Halo, or Gears of war compatible with the kinect.

KInect SDK (Software Development Kit)

It seems as though the third party industry has no interest in kinect, and Microsoft is turning to the indie community to make new, and original content for the kinect. I like indie games. You can usually find some interesting ideas from the indie game sector.

Having indie developers get there hands on development tools for the kinect seems like a great idea? Right?
We can either see a flood of great new or ideas, or just another source for kinect shovel ware. We'll see what the indie devs can do.

I'll make sure to remain cautious in this matter.

PS3 price drop in August 2011.

No official statement has been made by Sony.

Rumored to be a 100$ price drop.

Seems entirely plausible to me.

Halo 4 (Xbox 360)

Finish the fight...again.

I honestly wasn't expecting a new Halo title. Truthfully, I was secretly happy that Microsoft would have no other option, but to stop milking this series. Perhaps then they would focus their energy on new original projects. It did seem like it was over. The story had been wrapped up, and Bungie had moved on.

Then E3 2011 happened.

Don't get me wrong. I've been a fan of the Halo series, but it just seems less, and less exciting. To make matters worse; the game is being developed by 343 Industries. They have no previous experience in creating a Halo title, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt since some former Bungie workers are to be seen within the company.

It just seemed so underwhelming. Perhaps, the game will offer something new. That, or the game will be focused on the multiplayer experience.

Child of eden finally receives some spotlight.

FINALLY.

It took Microsoft long enough to realize the mistake they have made by not touting this game as something that would be a great experience on the kinect. It was bad enough that they didn't manage to secure it as an exclusive for their console. Microsoft? Seriously? You expect the kinect to appeal to hardcore gamers; without any proof of what it is truly capable of. Instead the kinect is in danger of becoming a safe haven for shovel ware.

So, what spotlight am I talking about? Well, Child of eden was featured on "The kinect show" with it's host Bridget. It almost feels kind of late, but I suppose it's better than nothing. The game is SPECTACULAR; I urge anyone that owns a kinect to run out, and buy it NOW. Instead of picking up garbage like Duke Nukem; support the creative side of the industry, and pick this up.

Sadly, it's my opinion that many a gamer will ignore this great title altogether. Which is the case for most games that try to create something new, and refreshing. Alas, perhaps this game will break that mold, and actually sell decently. Maybe then the kinect will be taken more seriously.

Lionhead to be axed by Microsoft. (Almost there.)

It hasn't happened yet, but you'd have to be a fool not to see it. You heard it here first: Lionhead studios are well on their way of receiving the axe by Microsoft. What would drive me to make such a "wild" assumption?

Most recently, the Carter brothers have left the studio. Normally, this would be seen as them simply leaving to pursue their own agendas. Rightfully so. However, to me this was seen as a massive blow to the studio itself.

Coupled with the fact that their next "great" release is Fable the journey, and you can pretty much do the math yourself. Oh, did I mention that horrid excuse for a game that's titled Fable 3? You can't even take a step without encountering a horrible game destroying glitch. (I literally took a step, and fell through the "floor" into a never ending abyss. Sorry! Reloading the save won't work either!)

So, what's a poor Lionhead to do?

Black & White 3?

NAH! Let's focus on bringing the Fable franchise, and Kinect together!

E3 2011 Sony impressions.

Ugh...


Well, there certainly were quite a few amount of exclusive first party titles at the conference, but here is the problem: They were all sequels. Like the Xbox 360 showcase; there wasn't anything new, and exciting. Don;t get me wrong. The games will without a doubt be great; however it is becoming somewhat of a bore. I want to see not only new, and exciting content, but new and exciting ideas.

Whatever happened to ground breaking?

All in all it was a fair showing on their part, but nothing that would impress me.

The new portable was present. That was nice. No new stuff was announced for it. Besides the Street fighter vs. Tekken game.

It'll need more than that to become a suitable adversary to the 3DS.

E3 2011 Nintendo impressions.

I was impressed by Nintendo's showing at E3. It was somewhat lacking in substance as far as games go, but a few key details were revealed.

What won me over is their message. Essentially, they want to bring together both the core, and casual gamers. It's a smart move, and success will be within reach if they manage to pull it off. Certainly, it won't be easy at all.

Some of their biggest franchises were present, but honestly I was more interested in how they will integrate the new controls into such titles, and most importanly; how it can appeal to both types of gamers.

The stage has been set, and Nintendo is at the forefront. The question is: Will they make the most of this new opportunity?

The Wii U: A new revolution?

E3 2011 Xbox 360 impression.

There's no denying it.

I have but one word to describe their showing at E3: terrible.

The only thing I do happen to remember is the reveal trailer of Halo 4, and let's be honest with ourselves...even that wasn't so exciting.

Why?

It's quite simple. The whole conference was lacking something new, and original. Something that would peak the interest of those that are watching. Ah, but alas...there was nothing of interest, and quite the few Xbox fans agree with me.

Did I mention Kinect? It almost seemed like Microsoft was trying to sell it to the audience; all over again. Kinect has already proven that it's capable of selling, but is it capable of creating an experience that many a gamer would enjoy? As of now? The answer is no. There are mixed feelings about the Kinect, and it has created a divide within the Xbox gaming community. The Kinect itself; still has something to prove.

As far as third party support goes; I was only excited about the new Tomb Raider. Yes, Tomb Raider. I know the series was subject to some horrible games, but the latest installment does look promising.

However, the biggest announcement (in my opinion) would have to be the arrival of Minecraft on the Xbox 360. I'll certainly be looking forward to that, and any new developments. (Note to microsoft: Do not force Kinect upon it! Make it compatible with controllers also!)

There was Gears of war 3, and Modern Warfare 3. Not really excited about those two.

Three was the key number at this E3. ;)

Monster Hunter 3rd finally announced?

I made the assumption that north america will not see the release of Monster Hunter 3rd, and I was right. Not exactly a "told you so" moment, but it did seem obvious. (Sadly)

Yes, it finally has a release date, but it's not exactly what you think it to be. Monster Hunter 3rd will see a stateside release, but it will do so on the ps3. A so-called "re-mastered" version in HD.

I am not too happy with this decision. As we all know; it seems that the MH series is one that was meant to be enjoyed on a handheld console. However, it seems that if you want to enjoy the latest MH epic; you'll have to acquire a ps3.

Personally, I have no problem with this, but it is a massive let down. The game was obviously built for the psp, and yet it won't be seeing a release on north american units. I would of been more surprised if a brand new MH title was announced for the ps3, but it seems like Capcom is more interested an a strategy that would perhaps improve sales on their game.

No Monster Hunter for you.
