Man, so much good news. The NXE looks awesome. That's one of my most anticipated things this year, believe it or not. That's good news about Fable 2 Co-op, they probably just did that for some attention. ;) TEKKEN! I haven't played that since PS1. Probably one of my favorite fighters of all time next to Soul Calibur. I don't even need to say anything more about Halo 3: Recon than...HOLY CRAP. Why do they have to make us wait so long!? These announcements are definitely helping Microsoft, sales in the U.S. have doubled, they're up 62% in Europe, and quintupled in Japan.

Wow, I had my doubts about the load times for everything in the NXE, but judging by that video they can all be put to bed! This looks so amazing and I really cannot wait for it. I'm gonna be at blockbuster all the time, renting games, ripping them to my HD, and returning them muahahahaha. I hope it's that easy :D

My impression was that you had to have the game in your CD drive whether or not it was ripped, ripping it just sped up load times and made the 360 more quiet.

Check out this new trailer and screen shots of Prince of Persia here.
That's one of my new favorite trailers. How awesome was that? When you combine beautiful scenery with good music, you get something like this.

Here is a trailer for Resident Evil 5. This lets you know a little bit about the story line and who you'll be interacting with. This will be released Friday May 13, 2009. ;)

"Joystiq got a chance to sit down with Bungie's Brian Jarrard to discuss some of the details behind the upcoming Halo 3 experience, Recon. Many questions have been lobbed at the title since it was first officially revealed, and here, without further ado, are some of the answers (politely cribbed directly from Joystiq):

  • 'It will be a standalone disc sold in stores in boxes next Fall. It's also going to include some multiplayer maps.'

  • 'It is a first-person shooter still ... It's not a squad-based shooter.'

  • 'As an ODST, compared to playing as in invulnerable Spartan, you are going to have to sort of pick and choose your encounters a little bit differently.'

  • 'It is going to very much feel like Halo. Full feature parity.'

A few other details. Recon (as most have theorized) takes place directly after the Prophet of Regret jumped into slipspace during Halo 2, causing the destruction of New Mombasa. Players take the role of a single ODST -- not a full squad. Also, it would appear that -- as implied by the trailer above -- the Superintendent (the little green circle dude) will serve as Recon's "Cortana." When asked about this, Jarrard replied, 'I think your observations seem pretty spot on. It certainly seems like there's a guiding hand of some sort there.'

Concerning the size of the expansion and the price, Jarrard revealed that Recon isn't likely to be released as DLC and will be "value-oriented." Finally, the game has "full feature parity" with Halo 3, including Forge (with some new features) and multiplayer. So, in other words, we imagine dual-wielding and all that good stuff will still feel the same. Multiplayer, by the way, will still be standard Halo 3 multiplayer.

Finally, Recon is not the only project being worked on at Bungie, with Jarrard noting that it is being developed by a relatively small team of a "bunch of elders" that have had a hand in the series from the beginning. Head over to Joystiq for more details."

LOL great - another Halo-esque game for me to suck at! ;P

I'll still probably buy it, though. I may not Halo when I'm stacked up against anyone better than a four-year old, but I gotta admit it's a good system they have. Plus, I like the idea of it being an average marine instead of some suped up, hot-rod Master Chief type guy. I hope there's some serious party coop for this game.
