We all know that Microsoft has motion control games, Mii-like avatars and Wii-mote-like controllers up their sleeves. A new rumor has surfaced that the new Arcade bundle headed to shelves this fall will probably include motion controlers and mini-games that use the technology. For now, I’d set this rumor as questionable. Various game blogs have been throwing up motion control rumors for months and they usually turn out to be false. This time, the rumor came from Xbox 360 Fanboy. They have been credible in the past with rumors, but this one is just worded a little funny. According to the site, they got this rumor from ”a tip from a source close to Microsoft’s marketing department,”. Believe it if you want, but there’s really not much behind this one.

Although many characters are appearing in the game, expect to see ‘The Dark Knight’s Batmobile to make an appearance in LEGO Batman: The Video Game. You’ll also see Batman is his old school light grey suit, same goes for Robin’s suit. The Dark Knight’s release will help the popularity of the LEGO series, but at this point the LEGO Series has done quite well making games after very succesful movies.
I was actually burnt out on Tomb Raider a long time ago, but ‘Underworld’ may be enough to bring me back to the franchise. The above video is the latest “teaser” for the upcoming game. If you are looking for something new in the series, they have certainly tried to add many new aspects to gameplay including environments that are more interactive and more intelligent than anything we’ve seen from past installments of Tomb Raider. You’d think they’d run out of ideas by the time they got to the 8th game, but it looks like this fall, we’ll be enjoying a new Tomb Raider.
Searching Youtube for the someone kicked in the groin, fall, or leaked footage of SOMETHING, I came across this video. This video is just awesome. UltimateChance compiled a worth watching video of Grand Theft Auto 4. Using GTA IV to re-enact scenes from great gangster movies is ok in my book. Check out the list of movies remade using GTA IV, with great audio mind you.
Scenes include:
Godfather - Tollbooth Scene (Sonny’s Murder)
Goodfellas - “Then He Kissed Me” scene
Reservoir Dogs - Mexican Standoff scene
I Am Legend - Neville vs. Fred
American History X - Opening Scene
Fight Club - Ending Scene Continue reading »
There’s been recent rumblings about what the final set list will be for Rock Band 2 but more interesting, at least for this writer, is what else the game will provide right out of the box.
IGN reports (via Kotaku) that when gamers take home and open up their shiny new Rock Band 2 game this fall, you’ll be able to download the first game’s complete set list…for FREE.
Gamestop might just get a sudden influx of Rock Band discs as Activision EA will be relieving the slight inconvenience of disc-swapping. Rocking out will suffer no delays.
[Edited: As our kind readers have pointed out, EA is the publisher of all things Rock Band and it's developed by Harmonix who created Guitar Hero and its sequel. Our bad.]
If you are interested in hunting wildlife, you may want to keep your eye out for ‘Deer Hunter Tournament’ this fall on the PC and Xbox 360. People are already describing it as a “multiplayer wildlife massacre”. Killing animals isn’t really my thing, so I’ll pass but figured I’d drop the news for the hunters out there…
Full Press Release:
NEW YORK, June 17 - Deer Hunter® - the biggest hunting game franchise of all time - takes dead aim at gamers once again as Atari, Inc. launches Deer Hunter Tournament for the Windows-based PC and, for the first time, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft this fall. The evolution of virtual hunting has finally arrived as Deer Hunter Tournament gives players a chance to experience the most intense virtual hunting experience ever created. Deer Hunter Tournament is designed to create a massive network of Deer Hunter players by offering for the first time ever in hunting games organized, constantly updated online tournaments for both Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network and through the Windows-based PC format. Deer Hunter Tournament will be available for a suggested retail price of $39.95 for Xbox 360 and $19.95 for PC.
When you mix Clash of the Titans, Jason and the Argonauts and God of War what do you get? Well, I’m putting myself out on a limb here, but I’m very excited about this mythological adventure game ‘Rise of the Argonauts’. Coming to PC, X360 and PS3 this Fall, why not take a chance on this one? The trailer alone has me sold. I know many God of War fans, myself included, are antsy for their upcoming title, but I think Rise of the Argonauts will hold its own.
Surveys are a regular thing in movies, TV, and video games. They’re conducted by “professionals” to learn from a group of people (test subjects) on just what they’ll be likely to buy. The above screen, sent in to Joystiq, represents some of the box art Electronic Arts might be pitching to potential buyers this fall.
Does it make you want to buy it? Does it evoke a need for it inside of you? Whatever the case, let’s hope EA and Harmonix will not neglect our ability to play our EXTENSIVE collection of songs already downloaded in the original for the sequel. As Mr. Juan Perez would say…”that is key.”
If there was a reason to dust off your Nintendo DS, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is probably a good one. Even though the game really doesn’t introduce anything mind blowing, it will work for the time being. Great or “just average”, this game is certainly on my Fall wish list.
