Reach Does Epic and Teases Space Combat

Bungie’s Marcus Leto took the stage at Microsoft’s E3 briefing to show off the world premiere of Halo: Reach’s unseen campaign.

New Xbox 360 Boot Screen?

New box, new kit, new look? With the launch of their new console and Kinect approaching fast, Microsoft look to be rebranding the Xbox 360. Kinect and its Hub (shown at E3) add more dimension to the Dashboard’s UI, and will likely bring new tweaks to the interface at launch. A revised boot screen would only be natural, right?

Donkey Kong Country Returns This Fall

Another day, another rumor confirmed at the Electronics Entertainment Expo. The newly announced Donkey Kong Country Returns does exactly what the titles says, revisits one of the most beloved Nintendo franchises. The game is being developed by Retro Studios (of Metroid Prime fame) and looks to be receiving the NSMB treatment with the 2D gameplay being given that extra special splash of 3D. Diddy Kong will also be tagging along for the adventure using his backpack as a jetpack or his ability granting peanut gun.

You can expect to see Donkey Kong Country Returns on store shelves this Fall. Check out the official E3 tailer after the break!

Metal Gear: Rising Rips Open E3

Just like last year, in an attempt to rub fanboys up the wrong way, Kojima-san took the stage at Microsoft’s Briefing to shed some light on the latest game in the series, Metal Gear Solid: Rising. The trailer’s tag “Cut at Will” was used as Raiden ripped through enemies and objects with flair, choosing the angles as he went.

One a side note you’d think a sword-based action game would be a perfect fit for Natal Kinect, no? Trailer after the jump. What will you cut? Read More »
