Introducing the Xbox Wii60 At about the three minute mark in the GameTrailers video interview (shown below) with Nintendo President, Reggie Fils-Aime, Geoff Keighley began to press Reggie for a response regarding what he believed to be Microsoft’s implied interest in a Nintendo partnership, allowing Xbox 360 users to someday wield a Wiimote like device.

Major Nelson let loose on his latest podcast that the upcoming Dashboard update for the Xbox 360 will be entirely optional.  Well, you’ll most likely still have to download it, but you can continue to use the old blades system and even forgo the new Miis Avatars and stick with your Gamerpic.  Oh, and you [...]

Alan Wake, the upcoming action-thriller from Remedy Entertainment (developers behind Max Payne), was mysteriously missing at this year’s E3 convention. Now, however, it looks like the game will show up at this year’s Tokyo Games Show.

Oh boy… If World of WarCraft wasn’t already a massive drain on your free time, then Wrath of the Lich King will make things significantly worse.  Not only will the expansion add Death Knights and an entire new continent, but it’s also bringing with it Achievements, which you earn by doing a myriad of quest-related [...]

Update on the previous Bungie cock-block snafu:  Microsoft, as the publishing giant apparently behind Bungie’s latest game, rescinded their green light just hours shy of Bungie’s official announcement.  Bungie was about to make us all climax, but Microsoft stepped in with its shotgun and forced them to stop. This does not make us happy, Microsoft… [...]

During Monday’s Microsoft Press Conference, the company announced what they are calling the ‘New Xbox Experience.’ One would imagine that is the reason why we were system update-less this Spring, because they’re completely reimagining and revamping their user interface to something more of a Vista-esque, Zune-ish nature.

For those that may not know, Bungie has had a countdown going for about a little over a day now, but at exactly exactly 00:12:00:00 the countdown stopped.  The above information was posted. The basic gist of it is that Bungie was forced by their publishing partner to not reveal said product at the planned [...]

I recap the Microsoft press conference, highlighting the top 5 crowd-pleasing moments. Click the jump for some first hand E3 Microsoft press conference impressions.

Are your eyes securely fastened inside your head? Is your jaw prepared to be dropped? Are you wearing rubber underwear (looking at you here, Wade)? If so, feast your brain on these amazing new gameplay demos, which premiered today at Microsoft’s press conference at E3.

My first reaction to the Microsoft conference was: Resident Evil 5: ZOMG DO WANT NAO! Second reaction: Clean pants: ZOMG… probably should put on now. In all seriousness, the Resident Evil 5 demo with online co-op really caught my attention. I’m a huge RE4 fan, so the similarity to RE4 isn’t a bad thing in [...]

The tail end of Bungie’s latest podcast contains an exchange of words between the two co-hosts, Brian Jarrard and Luke Smith, which tease at a possible July 14th reveal of some sort. Could it be a new Halo related project? Brian: Isn’t there something going on on July 14th or something like that? Luke: Yeah, [...]

I have often tried to obtain a comment from Microsoft regarding the many rumors that circle their company. The majority of responses I get are along the lines of “Microsoft does not respond to rumors”. Every once in a while though, you get a slightly wordier version, which essentially adds up the same thing but [...]

After moving houses just a few short days ago, and with no internet to speak of, I was settling down to a nice relaxing week away from the daily buzz of the net to get some quality time with Beijing 2008, which Sega kindly sent me to review. However, it appears Microsoft had other plans. [...]
