Slow news

News has been slow this week, so there is not much to report. However, I did manage to dig up a few things.

Both Project Snowblind and the Fable soundtrack are now available.
A Rayman DS trailer was released (finally!): http://www.cube-europe.com/movies/raymands.wmv
Also, check out some Xbox 2 renders: http://interviews.teamxbox.com/xbox/1069/Midway-Games-Unreal-Engine-3-Licensing-Interview/p1

That's all for now!

New Games!

An all new Mario Kart game is in the works! Catch is, it's an arcade game. Still this game looks promacing! Also in the game is Packman(?). More info and screens here: http://gc.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=4327

Also in the works is a new Zelda game for the DS! Basicall Eiji Aonuma (working on Zelda) said: -There will definitely be Zelda game on the DS

-The concept of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords was an experiment for possible DS games, and to see what double screens could produce.

-However it would be “shameful” not to have a true Zelda along with a Four Swords-eqsue version, so is that possibly two DS Zelda games already?

In other news, a new Gauntlet game is in the works and is due out in Xbox,PS2, and PC this winter! Screens, info and a trailer here:

Oh, and if you're getting bored with your one DS game (I know it's Mario, that's all anyone has.), Wario Ware Touched is now available!

More Xbox 2 rumors

The latest rumors say the Xbox 2 will come packaged with a wireless controller that is similar in size and shape to the current Xbox one. This is eccelent news! If it's true. Other rumors state that the next Xbox will lose the white and black buttons, and possibly get extra triggers (why?), similar to the PS2 maybe? Who knows. Only time will tell.

Nice to see Nintendo coloring their DSs!

More Revolution stuff

An odd video was recorded at the Game Covention in France. It is quite cool, really. It involves this guy, I assume he has some kind of camera, that controls a virtual car through the real world. See, this guy had set up some ramps and things on this table, and there is this camera(kind of like Eye Toy) that displays the exact picture on a T.V. Meaning there is a camera displaying the table on the T.V. Except, the man has a controller, and is controlling a virtual car through actual things, but on the T.V. The car actually reacts with items in the real world without actually being there! It's very hard to explain. Why don't you check it out for your self: http://www.cubed3.com/staff/tempo88/2005/february/nextgenfootage.WMV

In other news, these shots from the same conference, show off next gen technology (keep in mind they're a little blury) :

That man looks real! Or at least he would, if the shots were clearer.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Day-After Valentines Day! I guess I'm just a little late there! :0
