DS- Black and White

A DS version of the game Black and White is in the works. Entitled Black and White Creatures, the game will be original rather than a port. It will utilize the touch screen as well as the microphone. It'll also have new modes, such as a multiplayer mode in which you battle your creatures. Not only that, but it looks pretty good too!

There. Proof enough for you Raider Bear? It's also been discovered that this: http://xbox.advancedmn.com/images/content/boxart/xbox360logob.JPG is in fact, the official logo. Also, the logo on the controller serves as some sort of button.

But that's not all! Ourcolony.net reviled that the 360 will have a removable face plate as seen in this odd picture of the power button surrounded by different designs: http://media.teamxbox.com/dailyposts/xbox360/rumor/37943.jpg

Preview- DBZ Sparking

Imagine the perfect Dragonball game. A game with every character and major plot point ever. Now imagine it's real. Guess what? It is! This fall, DBZ fans will get the game they've always wanted: Dragonball Z Sparking!

Despite the odd name, this game will have everything a fan could ask for. One of the most welcomed additions is Jenemba, the villain from the 12th movie in Japan. Expect him along with over 60 other characters including Chaozu, the entire Ginuyu Force, and the Ouzaru forms of all the Saiyans (and hopefully all the characters from Budokai 3 plus some of my favorites: Bojack, Nova Shenron, Baby Vegeta, Vegeta Jr., Goku Jr., Super 17, Tapion, Turles, Evil Buu, and anyone else they feel would be cool. Like, say, more crazy fusions?).

The controls have also been revamped to include free-flight! This will make for more realistic battling. The rest of the buttons now also perform different actions. For instance, the triangle button is now used for an energy blast rather than a kick.

Stop the presses! Another (alternate) Xbox 360 logo has shown up! http://media.teamxbox.com/dailyposts/xbox360/rumor/newlogo.jpg I like the other one better, if you ask me. Which will it be? Guess we'll have to wait two weeks to find out!

Now, someone tell me why it's called an Xbox if the logo is a circle.

New picture of 360 prototype controller

The title is pretty self-explanatory. http://media.teamxbox.com/dailyposts/xbox360/rumor/xbox360_controller_2.jpg Notice how there is no logo. This suggests that it's a prototype. Also, note the cord that wasn't in the other picture.

Splinter Cell DS

Good news for Splinter Cell fans, Splinter Cell DS has been announced! The first shot, though blurry, shows that it will not be a 2D side scroller as previously thought.
