One of the top titles that was on display at E3 this year was obviously the upcoming Call of Duty Black Ops from Treyarch and Activision. I was given a behind closed doors demo of the upcoming shooter but unfortunately it was all hands off and so I can only report on what I saw and not what it’s like. …
While at E3 I managed to get some hands on time with Ubisoft’s upcoming fitness title for Kinect, Your Shape Fitness Evolved.

If you managed to catch Ubisoft’s Presentation at E3, you’d have noticed that they kicked it off with the rather beautiful Child of Eden, played without a controller by the games designer, Tetsuya Mizuguchi. It was a wonderful showcase for Kinect and would have had much more impact with gamers were it shown at Microsoft’s own keynote. Instead, Microsoft chose …
One of the bigger shocks from Sony’s keynote was the appearance of a rather nervous, and still rotund Gabe Newell. Surprising not only because he famously rubbished the PS3, but because he proclaimed that Portal 2 on PS3 would be the best console version available. Why? Steamworks. Steamworks will allow for Portal 2 auto-updates, downloadable content, and community support directly …
