New Xbox slim is a disc killer!

I got very excited to see the shiny new Xbox 360 slim... looks nice, built in WiFi, touch pad buttons, and a whisper for a cooling fan all excellent features (slight influence from the PS3, erhem!). But as you will see in the video below, it is also a great machine for scratching discs and I'm not referring to a DJ kind of scratch either, more of the 'you killed my brand new game disc you bastard' kinda thing.

The old saying of "The more things change, the more they stay the same" comes to mind.
That said, your not really going to be moving around the console when loading a game... but if you do this is what to expect...

Link is Back! (Enter Generic Wii Pun Here)

A new Zelda title (Wii) has been announced at E3 and by the looks of things it's time to get excited! Nintendo guru Shigeru (Get it?) Miyamoto was on hand to unveil the next installment of what is arguably, Nintendos greatest franchise. Sorry Mario!

Dated for next year and boasting the moniker 'Skyward Sword' it looks set to comfortably build on an incredible gaming legacy! Check out the official trailer below and wallow in the cheesy trademark soundtrack. Can't wait....

See what you think!

P.S What's with the warning at the start?! Hardcore Nintendo. Hardcore.

Wii in it my friend and you'll get a Goldeneye!

Well it has FINALLY happened! After what feels like an eternity (in Zelda years) Nintendo announced today at E3 the return of the almighty and all round awesome Goldeneye.

N64 owners will remember just how incredible this title was in it's day, not to mention what a huge game changer it was in the evolution of the first person shooter. By the looks of the vid below it's gonna rock and I for one am readying the Martini shaker as we speak!

Lot's of returning features, among them the Four-Way split screen and by the looks of things the atmosphere and soundtrack that made the original will be piled in as well...

Have to say Nintendo's E3 is emerging in a favorable light with the 3DS and a brand new Zelda, but more on all that to follow. For now I'm going to go dust off the Wii....... To think I was gonna sell that little puppy!





E3 Show: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - Star Wars TFU2 - Fallout NV - The Witcher 2 - FEAR 3


Arg! So much E3 info and so little time to spend on it! God damm this having to earn money stuff, its getting in the way of my gaming addictions... Anyhoo, G4 TV are doing some great shows on it along with Game Trailers TV... But if your too lazy then here are some E3 hotties via G4. Enjoy!!

Microsoft waves goodbye to Natal, and says Hello to Kinect!

Well, 'Project Natal' is no longer just a project. It is now a real product called 'Kinect'. So far we know that it will be released in November and has a range of launch titles that are very 'Wii' looking (vid below). There is a Star Wars game (vid below) where you get to battle Vader in a light saber duel. Not sure what to make of it all yet, is it just a sheep in wolfs clothing or has it really got some bite?






Also is the rumor that the Xbox 360 Slim will be announced and from the screen shot below from an add on the web it is looking more and more likely. News like this might be difficult to upstage for Sony but if rumours of a PS4 announcement are true then were in for one hell of a show this year... but I doubt that! We shall see when E3 opens its doors today.
