e3-title-7n

  Out of the big three, Nintendo probably had the most to prove, their showing at last year’s E3 was well… sub-par. So would the house of Mario return to it’s former glory at this year’s event? Short answer, yes. Long answer, hell yes! You know your gonna have a great show when the 1st thing you show could be considered a show stealer.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

              

  For the first time in the series all that classic Super Mario Bros. gameplay can be enjoyed in frantic 4 player action. This was the first of many great games announced by Nintendo from Nintendo at E3.

Wii Fit Plus & Wii Sports: Resort

             

  The rumored Wii Fit Plus was finally made official, being more of an expansion pack then a brand spanking new game, however the addition of more accurate stat tracking and even more crazy games is enough to justify this expansion.

  Wii Sports: Resort was announced at last year’s E3 and was finally fully demoed, with its full roster of games revealed, all using the brand new Wii Motion Plus.

Four Huge R.P.G.’s (Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Mario & Luigi and Golden Sun)

            

 

           

  The Wii and DS got huge support from both Square-Enix and Nintendo’s own R.P.G. studios, Final Fantasy: The Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (that’s a mouthful) got a brand spanking new trailer that shows off some gameplay, as did the confusingly titled Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days for the Nintendo DS.

  Mario & Luigi: RPG 3 also got a North American launch date and a new title, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story. Finally the big news for DS fans, Golden Sun DS will release for the system and finally bring a new installment to the beloved series.

DS Games For Everybody

  The Nintendo DS got three new third party games that each reach out to different audiences. James Patterson: Women’s Murder Club: Games Of Passion will bring Nintendo’s handheld to housewives and mother’s everywhere, while C.O.P.: The Recruit tells the tale of a rookie cop who is taken in to help save New-York City from a terrorist attack, and is one of the best looking DS games we’ve seen. The final game is aimed at young teen girls, titled Style Savvy, it introduces players to the world of fashion design and boutique management.

Nintendo DSi

          

  The next portion of the presentation was geared towards Nintendo’s new handheld the DSi. The video editing software Flip Book was quickly shown, it allows users to make animations using the DS touch-screen and upload them to the internet.

  Speaking of user created content, Nintendo also previewed Mario VS. Donkey: Minis March Again for the DSi’s download service, DSi Ware. The game will allow users to create levels and also upload them to the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection to share to the world. The game will be available next Monday on DSi Ware.

  Even more user generated content is on it’s way for the Nintendo DSi. Wario Ware: D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) will allow you to create the micro-games and also share them with the world. Now that’s alot of stuff to make!

  Following the announcement of Facebook on the Xbox 360, it was revealed the DSi will also get the famous social network as well as the ability to take pictures that were shot with the DSi camera and edited with the photo channel and upload them to Facebook.

Wii Vitality Sensor

wii_vitality_02

  Satoru Iwata then took to the stage and gave the world it’s first glimpse of the Wii Vitality Sensor. The unit can measure your pulse, which is useful for software that is designed to help users relax and maybe even help them fall asleep. The Wii Vitality Sensor is tagged as future tech. so don’t expect to see much of it any time soon. Interesting none the less.

Show Stealers: Super Mario Galaxy 2

Holy crap! That’s right the highest rated game of the current generation is getting a sequel. Super Mario Galaxy 2 will launch in 2010.

Hardcore Third Parties (The Conduit, Resident Evil, Dead Space)

      

  Hardcore third party games are finally coming to the Wii in droves. The first person shooter from Sega and High Voltage Software will launch in just three weeks, while Resident Evil: The Dark Side Chronicles, the sequel to The Umbrella Chronicles is expected to launch this winter. Finally Dead Space: Extraction will terrify gamers everywhere this fall.

Metroid: Other M

  

YES YES YES! THE game Wii owners have been screaming for. Co-developped by Nintendo and Team Ninja this is the definitive Wii core game.

So Nintendo has redeemed themselves, but what will Sony have in store? Come back in a little while and we’ll have the answer.

e3-title-6

  E3 is finally here and boy was it worth the wait. Already many new games, tech and improvements have been announced which will shape both the present and future of gaming as we know it. Today Microsoft held it’s press event and 360blog.org is here to give you all the juicy details of just what was announced. So let’s get to it and start this article the same way Microsoft kicked off their event.

The Beatles: Rock Band

           

  After both the above trailer and the AMAZING opening cinematic, Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr took the stage to help promote the game, which I am sure has now become the most wanted music game in history. The launch date was also confirmed to be the same day as the re-release of all The Beatles’s album’s in remastered form.

Tony Hawk: Ride

  The next game to be demoed live was Tony Hawk: Ride and who else but Mr. Skateboard himself was on stage to give players all the info they needed on the new skateboard peripheral, which actually detects every movement the players makes, even down to bending down and putting your hand beside it to pick it up, this is done via an IR camera on the side.

Modern Warfare 2

           

  Recently voted our most anticipated game of E3 (check out the rest here) Modern Warfare 2 did not fail to deliver, with an amazing live demo.

Final Fantasy XIII

           

  The next game to be demoed was Final Fantasy XIII running on the Xbox 360 for the 1st time. In the video we see the heroes battling a giant mech-like dragon.

Note: The following games were announced as Xbox 360 exclusive.

Shadow Complex & Joy Ride (XBLA) 

  Epic Games (Gears Of War) was the next studio to present, and showed their new Xbox Live Arcade project Shadow Complex off. The game is said to ‘be a mix of Metroid and Castlevania’ and features all the platforming and shooting that one would want.

  Joy Ride was next, a kart racer that uses the avatar’s as playable characters. Guess one of my predictions came true.

Crackdown 2 & Left 4 Dead 2

          

  A couple of huge trailers for equally huge games were shown. The sequel to the super-hero like game Crackdown 2 was announced as well as the uber-gory Left 4 Dead 2 which will keep us fighting zombies over and over again.

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction

         

  Another one of our highly anticipated games of E3, Conviction showed off some amazing gameplay and a brand new look.

Forza Motorsport 3

        

  Well racing fans here it is. The racing game of the generation (because we didn’t here that enough.)

Halo 3: ODST & Halo: Reach

       

  Not only did we get a gameplay demo for Halo 3: ODST but also the debut trailer for a brand new Halo game!

Alan Wake

     

  The long awaited Alan Wake finally got a full demo and a tentative release schedule, and it looks damn good,

If I dig into my childhood memories I can remember my Saturday mornings sitting down in front of the TV watching the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. John Watson. Now many years later the ultimate mystery solving duo gets to hit the big screens.

The current release date is set on Christmas day of this year.

To make this even more interesting the four main characters are Robert Downey Jr. (Sherlock Holmes), Jude Law (Dr. John Watson), Rachel McAdams (Irene Adler) and Mark Strong (Lord Blackwood).

sherlock-holmes1

I think this is a great role for Robert after his success as Iron Man.

The flick should be keeping the audience on the edge of their seats and is sure to make the top of the box office. I can’t wait to see it.

And not to forget the very beautiful Rachel McAdams will give this movie the twist it need to be a success.
