Hey we are moving to a shiny new, more powerful server… please hold on tight as things  may become a little turbulent in the next few hours. Last Updated: June 15, 2010

Another highlight from Ubisoft’s conference, for me at least, was the announcement of another game from one of my favourite game designers, Tetsuya Mizuguchi. He’s the very strange individual who brought us Space Channel 5, Lumines, Every Extend Extra and Rez. This latest game, Child of Eden looks to continue with the pulsing beats and strange shooter mechanics of Rez, …

Ubisoft’s Press event at E3 didn’t quite go down as well as they’d hoped, with their standout titles appearing to be Assassin’s Creed : Brotherhood and Driver : San Francisco. I was a little distraught at the lack of information on Beyond good and Evil 2, one of my most anticipated games. One game they showed that may unfortunately get …

So Microsoft’s E3 keynote has come and gone – and with it all the news about Kinect you can shake a stick at. After the jump you’ll find the list of all 15 launch games – and then feel saddened by the fact that all 15 appear to be casual stuff for the general Wii audience.  You’ll also notice that …

I have just come from a personal unboxing of the new Xbox 360 and there were a few things about it that came as quite a surprise. With a Hard Drive nowhere to be seen, we had no idea if the new Xbox 360 even had a removable HDD and if so, where it actually was. All was soon revealed …

Judging from last night’s underwhelming event, probably not. While the Redmond behemoth easily stole the show last year, with their Project Natal reveal and announcement of Metal Gear finally making its way to the 360. Last night’s keynote had no such impact; The big exclusive games they showed – Gears of War 3, Halo Reach and Fable 3 – were …

While MGS : Rising may have been the only retail game that got me drooling, new footage of Halo Reach has sparked interest in a game I had no interest in previously. I’ve said numerous times that while I enjoyed the 4 player co-op, Halo 3 just didn’t excite me – but reach is starting to make me a believer. …

Overall, I thought Microsoft’s Press Event to be a little disappointing. Unlike last year, there were no shock announcements, no big game reveals and nothing quite like the impact of Natal’s announcement. Rebranded Kinect, we got to see a few of the games for the system – and they largely pander to the casual crowd. None of the retail games …
